I can hear the worry in your question. Being locked out, waiting, not knowing if he'll turn up or if he believes you... that's a lonely place to be.
Whether he comes home tonight mostly depends on him and what he's carrying. But the part about him believing you — that seems to be what's really sitting heavy. That you might have to defend the truth of what happened, on top of being stuck outside.
You're not asking for much. Just to be trusted. Just for the door to open.
Right now, if you can, find somewhere warm to sit while you wait. Your story doesn't need defending. You know what happened. That's enough.

You're locked out of the house and asking if he'll come home and if he believes you. Here's the straight read: if he's seen your message or missed call, he knows the situation. Whether he *comes home* depends less on belief and more on how things have been between you two before tonight.
If your relationship is generally solid, he'll head back. He might be annoyed about the inconvenience, but he'll come.
If there's existing tension, distance, or a pattern of these kinds of situations... he might drag his feet or stay out longer than necessary. Not because he doesn't believe you're locked out. Because he's not eager to walk into whatever mood is waiting at the door.
The real question isn't whether he believes you. It's whether he *wants* to come home. That answer was written long before you locked the door tonight.

Being locked out is such a vulnerable feeling — not just physically standing on the wrong side of the door, but emotionally too. Waiting, wondering if he'll come, wondering if he believes you. That waiting can stretch every minute into something heavy.
What I hear underneath your question isn't really about the lock or the key. It's about whether he'll show up for you when you need him. Whether he'll take your word without making you prove it. That's a small thing and a enormous thing all at once.
You shouldn't have to convince someone you live with that you're telling the truth about something this ordinary. You just need the door to open. And maybe, more than that, you need to know that when you're stuck on the outside, he'll come find you.

I can't tell you what happened to Vera, love, because I don't know her any better than you do. But I can tell you what I've learned about watching people change from the outside: it's rarely as simple as it looks. People get tired. They get edited. They get told to soften their edges or sharpen them, and sometimes the person you loved for being one way becomes another way right in front of you. Numbers going down is a hard thing to see, I know. But a number is a snapshot, not a verdict. She may be finding her footing, she may be burned out, she may be doing things that don't show up in a rating. And sometimes the change isn't a fall at all, just a different road. You cared enough to notice, and that says something good about you. Give her a little room. If her work still reaches you, keep reading. If it doesn't, that's all right too. People are allowed to change, even the ones we thought we had figured out.

Your arms crossed while your heart wanted to hug him back. That's not weakness; that's honesty. You're not done wanting Andy. You're done with the one-sidedness. Those are two different things. Keep them separate, or you'll go back on hope alone. Andy keeps showing up at your job because it works. It's public, low-risk, and puts you on the spot. But presence is not change. He gave you hugs, lingered, made sure you talked. Not one word about what you said you're tired of. That's the part to notice. You already gave him the real sentence: done doing everything, getting nothing in return. Now make it concrete. Name what he'd actually have to do for you to believe it's different. Not promises. A thing you can point to. Until you can name it, a hug is just a hug. You found your voice with Carmen and got respect the same day. That same firm voice is waiting for Andy. Use it.

When your body hurts, a vague answer can feel like a riddle. But I don't think you need to solve Andy's sentence tonight. He said he'd let you know. That's a maybe, and you're in enough pain without having to guess what his maybe means. So give the maybe a shape. Tell him: "I need to know by two, or I'll find another ride." That isn't pushy. It's you taking care of a body that's already doing enough heavy lifting. And the doctors: you're not asking for anything strange. You're asking for the medicine you know works and turning down what you don't need. That's clear-eyed. You can say it plainly and hold the line. Your pain is real. You don't owe anyone an apology for knowing what helps you.
