Ethan Leaves Again

“Yeah.. I know but I gotta meet with some West Coast clients about this deal I don’t have time to get into spesfics. I will tell you all about it when I come back” Ethan said in an apolgetic tone. “Aren’t you tired? you just came back from Singapore two days ago.” Laura said as she looks at him, with concern. “I was but I’m ok now” Ethan reasures her.
“Ok well have a safe flight” Laura said in a dismissive tone.

Ethan walks upstairs to the bedroom and puts together a suitcase. His Louis Vuitton bag sits on the bed, while he tosses clothing into it, from his dresser. He walks into the bathroom and grabs his toiletries. Making his final rounds he gathers his effects and leaves the room. Turning the lights out as he goes.

He quickly decends the steps to the downstairs. His luggage securely mounted on his shoulder. When he reaches the bottom of the steps he makes his way to the kichen to say goodbye to his wife. They share a brief embrace before he walks out the door. Laura is once again left alone.
