Riley took a shower as soon as he reached his room. He left his phone on the bed and did not hear the call that came afterward. After he got dressed, he saw several missed calls from an unknown number. The display on the screen also shows four unread messages.
Puzzled over the caller's identity, Riley was about to check when his phone rang again. It was the same number.
At first, Riley was hesitant to take the call. Only a handful of people knew his number, and those who did were all registered on this phone.
Then Riley remembered he sent an email to Lark last night. He told him that he was in A. City and gave his contact information.
It may be his friend who's calling.
Expectant, Riley answered the call. "Hello?"
"Riley?!" Came an overzealous response from the caller, followed by, "It's me, Lark! Is that really you?!"
