The Mother-In-Law Calls
Almost instantly, the phone started buzzing again with a new incoming call. This time, it was his mother trying to reach me frantically.
She was likely confused, angry, or perhaps hysterical after what she had just witnessed in the dark. I ignored her attempt just as I had ignored his.
I picked up my mug and took a long, slow sip of the lukewarm coffee while the phone continued to scream.
