No, he had to go out tonight to relax and ease the pressure.
Pulling out his phone, the man's fingers slid over the contact list.
There weren't many women's numbers in there, mostly contacts for work, acquaintances, and family.
He had flipped from the beginning to the end without finding any number of interest.

After a few rings, a woman's cold voice came through.
"Hello?"
"Where are you?" This was usually the first thing he said to her.
Then the woman seemed to understand, but this time, after hesitating for a few seconds, she said, "Not today."
