Amelia turned back to her bedroom, grabbed her phone, and dialed the man's number, but it kept ringing until it went to voicemail without an answer.
No answer to the call, which had never happened before.
Could something have happened?
In a flurry, she dialed again, but still no answer.
Amelia couldn't help feeling a bit panicked.
Just as she was feeling anxious, the phone in my hand began to vibrate insistently.
Her mind was wandering, and she jumped in surprise, but then she looked down and saw Daniel Cooper's name on the screen.
She immediately answered, with accusatory words on the tip of her tongue, but then she hesitated, just panting with anger, remaining silent.
"Sorry, I was busy and had my phone aside, didn't hear it ring," the man's deep voice came through raspy, "Calling at this hour, did you just wake up, or haven't you slept yet?"
