Melody Monroe held her phone, typed a few words, and immediately deleted them. She typed another sentence, then deleted that too...
More than ten minutes passed...
'Forget it. I'm not replying!'
Evan Fairchild was probably busy with something else. There was no way he was sitting by his phone, waiting for her to text back.
Melody Monroe put her phone aside and headed for the bathroom.
'A shower, then bed.'
Evan Fairchild kept his phone in hand. Half an hour passed, and still no reply came through.
He sent another message.
[Are you asleep?]
After waiting for a few minutes, there was still no response.
Just as he was about to put his phone down, a video call came through.
Melody Monroe saw the new message from Evan Fairchild on her phone. She was about to reply when her hand slipped, and she accidentally hit the video call button, sending him a video invitation.
"Crap!" Melody Monroe fumbled with the phone, trying to end the call.
