Rahim was chatty earlier today, maybe I should check up on him; deciding on calling him before I start over analyzing everything and chicken out. If he is busy, he will just send a message, if he is asleep well, he will call back. I didn't want to wake him up though, I hate when that that happens to me and I extend the same courtesy to people; someone may be in the throes of sleep or a beautiful dream or a night mare…
I make that call; I couldn't allow my mind to go any further. On the second ring he picks up and I exhale the breath I didn't know I was holding. This was new territory and I didn't know how to maneuver it yet; it was Rahim and that made the simple thing complicated. I was excited and afraid it may be heard in my voice, I took a sip of the contents from the can.
"Is this a bad time?"
"No, how are you, sweetheart?"
