"…It's me…"
The voice that he got recently accustomed to was filled with uncertainty. His heart almost leaped out of his chest cavity hearing her voice through the phone. He wanted to check if he is really talking to her. But then she might end the call in the meantime, so he pressed his phone to his ear.
"…Minerva…" She added, confirming that he was not dreaming.
"Hmm," his voice calmed down several notches.
"I…" she stopped speaking for a moment.
"Are you near…"
She started her enquiring in a curious tone, but for some reason decided to cut it short. He, still curious, listened to her keenly not wanting to miss even the sound of her breath.
It was serene. The wound of waves in his one ear, and the sound of her breath in the other. His eyes end up on the young couple he saw earlier. She said that she was loved. She would know that feeling.
"Will you show me what love is?"
He almost asked her. Almost.
