Pressing his lips together, Nathan Leafcastle finally brought the phone to his ear.
Listening to the sound of the call connecting, his heartbeat involuntarily sped up.
This was a feeling he never had before; he was actually excited because he could talk to her.

"Vera!"
Just the two words made Nathan Leafcastle's palms sweat, "S-Sally, it's me!"
"Nathan?"
Sally Dalton's voice was filled with undeniable surprise.
"Yes... Vera said she didn't know your number, so she asked me to help her dial. Wait a moment, I'll let her talk to you."
