Sophia Jackson picked up the phone and held it to her ear:
"What can I do for you, Uncle Morris?"
"Lyra Smith is here with me, she just arrived a couple of minutes ago."
"Oh, okay," Sophia responded, handing the phone to Lyra, "Uncle Morris did call after all, looking for you."
Lyra took the phone from her and answered it.
The primary reason Morris Jackson made this call was to confirm that Lyra was with Sophia. After all that they had been through, the last thing he wanted was for anything wrong to happen to Lyra.
After ending the call, Lyra handed the phone back to Sophia.
Sophia raised an eyebrow in surprise, "That was quick?"
"Uncle Morris just wanted to make sure that I was here with you," Lyra said.
Sophia took back the phone, "That's it?"
Lyra nodded, "Yes."
"Something seems off," Sophia said, moving closer to Lyra, "Are you and Uncle Morris in a fight?"
Lyra pressed her lips together in a small smile, then shook her head, "No."
