Lyra Smith really had no choice, so she called Morris Jackson, not intending to bother him to come over in person.
Morris knew what she wanted to say, and said first: "I'm free right now, so I'll come over early and pick you up to go back to Tianna Manor."
She pursed her slightly dry lips and slowly asked, "Will I... stay there tonight?"
Some noise came through the receiver, and Morris must have gotten in the car. Lyra vaguely heard him say, 'Drive to Crane Pavilion Villa.' She guessed that he must not have heard her question while he was getting into the car, so she didn't ask a second time.
"I'll wait for you here," she said.
He agreed.
After hanging up, Lyra checked the time and opened the map navigation app to check the distance between Tianna and Crane Pavilion Villa.
Not knowing how long she would wait, she went to the long bench in her front yard and sat down to wait.
