I found myself waking to another lonely morning to an empty space on the bed beside me along with the buzzing of my ringtone. I groggily answered the call as I wondered what had happened to my do not disturb setting that I usually turned on before turning in for the day.
"D-Doyle? I'm sorry for waking you... Do you think you can bring me a pair of slacks and one of my work shirts?" I heard Len's voice on the other end of the line as I felt the drowsiness begin to lift and a sense of sobriety befell me.
I pondered what Len had meant by asking me to bring him a new set of clothes as the question of "Why do you need a new set of clothing?", "Did something happen that required you to change clothes happen?", "Did you spend the night with someone else?", nearly slips my lips.
However, I managed to catch myself quick enough as I rephrased my question to, "When do you need it? Should I bring anything else?"
