Greg was afraid to do this, but he had to do it anyway. He dialled a number and waited, his heart beating faster. "Hello", a lady's voice filled his ears. "Uh, Hi Laura, erm... It's me, Greg. I'm just checking on you and Ant..", his sentence was cut short by Laura.
"Seriously, you called me this morning to tell me this now? If you want to know how we are doing, what prevents you from coming over, hmm?" Her voice was cold.
"Come on Laura, you know it's not that easy. I have a family here I'm taking care of. You know I can't...", again, he was cut short. "That's the point, you have a family, so focus on them, and not us. Please stop calling me at this time of the day, please. I have to take Anthony to school", Laura shot back.
