She opened her eyes and picked up her phone. It was already eight in the evening and she immediately called Arthur.
And just as the ringing tone was heard Arthur answered the call.
Was he waiting for my call?
Talia smiled.
"Fred..." she said and she didn't know why, but her eyes watered.
Maybe because she knew although her grandfather showed himself to be fine, she knew deep in her heart that he is very sick, or she was tired after staring too long at the computer screen, or maybe she was scared what Lord Lockhart had planned keeping everything under a tight lid, or maybe she was depressed remembering Cyrus, Talia felt like crying but she held it back.
But when Arthur answered her call even before it rang once, and the moment she said his name, she couldn't hold back and tear drops started to drip from her eyes and she held her breath to stop herself from crying. She didn't want to worry Arthur.
