The Storm

“Just be careful, Zach. I’ve been watching the news and it’s a mess down there, I understand.” “ Yes, it is , and I’m going to get me a story for sure,” I said. “I know you will, Zach.” “Delores, what would I do without you?” “Fall apart probably,” she responded with a laugh, “and you wouldn’t know how to dress properly either.” She was right, and I knew it as I took a quick look down to make sure that I was wearing matching socks. “Well Baby, I gotta go. I’m getting on the Crosstown Expressway now and traffic is terrible.” “Okay, Zach. Just be careful and get back here safe.” “Will do gorgeous! Bye now!” “Bye, Zach. Love you.” “Love you too, Baby!” I hung up and turned my attention to packing my stuff and getting to the airport on time.
