He could have waited to
finish the last bits of work.
He should have left an
hour earlier.
He would have to leave
now.
He could have called a
taxi.
He should have driven to
work.
He would have to walk
the stretch to the station.
He could have taken the main
road.
He should have avoided the
tunnel.
He would not have missed
the call.
He could have checked
his phone.
He should have turned
the silent mode off.
He would have woken up
when they rang again.
He could have so easily missed the blinking phone as he stepped out of the shower.
He should have hurried for the meeting.
He would have missed checking the phone till he got to work.
He did not clearly see who was calling. He did not clearly hear the initial reprimands for not answering the calls.
All he did was feel grateful for having heard the words “you became a dad yesterday”
