she traced her finger around

the rim of the glass

the aroma of burgundy wine

filled her nostrils as she sipped

she looked at the clock

it was way past midnight and

he had yet to return home

she began to have thoughts

of some horrid tragedy

police officers knocking

at the front door

but then she remembered

the note she found earlier

and knew the true reason

for such late nights
