The plan was to meet up in the afternoon, at
around 16.00/17.00. After clocking out from work, I messaged him to see what
time we’d be meeting.
An hour later, he replies. “The architect could
not make it; could we postpone to the following day at around 13.00?”
No problem for me, I had a work meeting at
14.30 which was a good excuse for me to not spend too much time around him.
Tomorrow at 13.00 it is then.
There’s a distant thought in the back of my
mind.

It was a Thursday and, with the next day being
a public holiday, our plan was to spend it in Malta to attend a kid’s birthday
party. The intention was to make the journey in the evening after work and
sleep there.
Aside from the meeting, I was working from home
that day. I’d just wait for him to let me know he arrived so that I could pop
out and be back in within a few minutes.
At 11.00, I messaged to make sure we’re still
ok for later. So far, so good.
A couple of hours later, I ask whether I can
leave to meet him. It was the agreed time.
The reply was quick; he just boarded the ferry
to Gozo and will keep me updated.
Three minutes before my work meeting, I message
him again. He’ll call me shortly.
My work meeting starts.
