This happened a couple of weeks before last Christmas. My group was given the rest of the day off from work because we managed to finish our project early. What made this better was that it was a Friday, and my girlfriend(let's call her Vee) was already at home, enjoying her annual leave.
On my way home, I tried calling her but it kept going straight to voicemail. The voicemail greeting said she was at home but busy with something, so that gave me some relief knowing that she was at home.
