It could be finished, especially if it was at a higher temperature. Also,
if your lid wasn't on tight, then you'd never see bubbles in the airlock
(a very common problem).

If you have a hydrometer, check the gravity once a day for about 3 days
(or longer) and see if it is continuing to drop. If it stays constant,
it is done.
