The Expectation Gap “Goodnight Richard”, someone yelled. “See you later.” Exuberant chatter and laughter grated on his ear, He stopped and glanced up, Eight-thirty and the audit report not complete, Damn, he stuffed it into his bag. He could hear her voice complaining already. It wasn’t fair he knew that, but. . . “What does she expect?” he spoke out loud. The alimony had to be paid, school fees. . . His kids were visiting this weekend. The evening air was cold and whipped his coat, His relationships had always been difficult. His walk slowed, then stopped. Refocusing he moved off, Taking the next set of stairs on the left. To be embraced by a familiar friend. He later stumbled out His expectations met.
