Writing Wednesday- another short piece

The woman with long dark hair sat in the corner of the restaurant, talking loudly into her phone. "No I will not pay that! No, absolutely not, and they better deliver" and then she closed her phone. Back to her companion who sat staring blankly at the menu, she slammed the phone into her purse and then picked up her wine. Sweetly she said "Now where were we?" He continued to ignore her, pretending to be choosing between the different entrees on the menu. Stalling until his mind cleared again and he could face her. Another wasted Tuesday night, but what else was there to do?
