Mother is home alone, waiting on a husband that is too busy one more time. With candles burning, and wine already poured, Mother distresses on the phone with him. 'Your where? I thought you were on a flight back already!" She agonizes on the handset. Her husband again has chosen to work and close a deal, instead of coming home to his family. "I thought we were celebrating tonight?" She finally says, as she knows the battle is lost. She is grateful to have a good provider like her husband, but that security comes with a high cost, and his grueling work schedule has been wearing on their relationship!
