day 53: one thing I don't like to hear

"I'm ready to come home."

Now, don't get me wrong, it's a good thing that ASC misses home and wishes he were here.

But why does this not make me feel any better?

Why is it that this makes me feel worse?

Is it bad that I think I should hear him say that he wants to be there, that his job isn't done yet?

Do I need to hear that to know that this is worth the while?

And am I completely contradicting myself when I say that it's Saturday night, and I wish he was at home, on the couch, watching the newest episode of Cops?
