#243: Two Tickets

Things haven’t been so good between them lately. They don’t talk much, and if they do, they don’t actually listen. That’s how they passed their days, silently! One day at work, her phone rang. It was him. She wasn’t used to the idea of him calling her in the middle of the day. She answered, terrified that maybe something bad had happened. - “Hey!” - “Hey .... My friend has two tickets for a concert next Thursday, would you like to go?! - “Yeah, sure… Why not!” - “Okay, then. I’ll take them.” A less-than-one-minute call. She knew he was trying his best to please her, so she didn’t want to disappoint him. She thought this was a good chance they could actually spend some time together. She decided to go, regardless what kind of concerts it was. She didn’t care to ask! Mutely, as they normally do, they dressed up and went to attend this so-called concert. But it was nothing that he loved. It was quite boring for him. He knew she likes ballet concerts, or so
