After getting back to the hotel, Jane Sampson had been waiting for James Black to come find her.
But as she waited, it grew later, past 11 p.m., and she'd started dozing off in the bed when her mobile phone suddenly rang. It was a call from James Black.
Jane picked up the call, and because she had just been dozing, her voice was a bit muffled and tender, making her sound inadvertently coquettish.
"Hmm~ Why haven't you come yet~ Aren't you coming?"
James Black rarely heard Jane Sampson's voice so soft and tender; whenever he did, it was usually when she was half-asleep or just waking up.
He laughed, "Fell asleep waiting?"
"Hmm~" Jane Sampson neither denied nor admitted, simply humming in response.
"Open the door for me in ten minutes," James instructed.
"Okay," answered Jane cheerfully. After hanging up the phone, she sat straight up, waiting for James while lost in thought.
Ten minutes later, a new message arrived on her mobile phone. It was from James.
