Missed Appointment
It was half ten and Toby was sat on the steps of Kris' gym. It was a nice day, for a change, and he was a little early for their lesson but he hadn't thought it would be a problem, Kris was usually there and since the whole place was still being renovated he would have figured she would have been there too.
After about half an hour, and there was no sign of Kris. Toby started to worry. She was never late, not to anything. Ever. Not as far as he knew and not when business was concerned, anyway.
He pulled his phone out of the pocket of his jacket and knocked his heel against the step a couple down from the one he was sitting on. His thumb found Kris' number in his contact and he tapped it with a long finger, lifting the phone to his ear.
It rang out to voicemail. He couldn't hear it inside the gym, so perhaps she wasn't in there at all. If she had been, he would have been let in when he'd knocked on the door and hollered her name. He didn't think she was ignoring him, she wouldn't considering she had called him to let him know that their lesson was still on.
"Kris, it's Toby. I got the day right, yeah? It's just, I'm here and, well, you're not. I'll wait a little longer before heading home. I mean, what with everything that's happened, I wouldn't blame you for having forgotten. Just... let me know, okay? You've been kinda hectic lately and I'm worried about you. Call me, 'kay?"
He hung up and blew out a breath, leaning back and tipping his head up towards the sky.
He would wait another half hour.
...Where the hell was she?
