Day 25 of 30: Meeting Cancelled

Gwen was down by the college for a meeting that got cancelled, so she decided to surprise Daniel. She came into the office with high hopes of reconnecting with her husband.

"You want to see Daniel?" the administrative assistant said. She looked like several women Gwen knew; dressing a little too young.

"Is he in?" Gwen asked.

"He's in class right now, then he has his office hours," the admin said.

"I'll wait for him in there then."

The admin wavered. "All right."

Danny came in with a TA. No surprises there. "Hello, darling," she said, just a shade too possessively.

"Hello. Everything all right?"

"Never better. I was in the neighborhood and thought we could have lunch."

"You should've called. I've already made plans." He didn't quite look at the TA (Gwen did), but it was clear enough.

"And?" she said, a little too brightly.

"And I can break them," he acquiesced.

Gwen's smile widened.

"How was your meeting?" he asked.

"Cancelled."

"Why?"

"No explanation given."

"So, you're spreading the seeds of destruction by changing my day as well?"
