I’ve let Mr. Devereux know of the situation
I’m jarred from the text conversation when my phone buzzes with a call. The screen flashes with my sister’s face, and I release a shaky breath before answering.
“Hey, lefty.”
“Hey, hey, righty-tighty.”
“Please don’t,” I groan. “How are you?”
She sighs heavily. “Tired, but good. I’m so sorry, this week’s been insane—I’ve barely been able to call, let alone text. Work, boyfriend, the time difference… It’s no excuse, I know. How’re you holding up?”
A soft laugh escapes me as I sink deeper into the couch. Clover is curled in my lap, sound asleep, without a care in the world. It’s become her favorite spot this past week.
“I’m doing alright.”
“So, tell me… what’s up? Your text freaked me out, and the new number? If you hadn’t explicitly said you were okay, I’d already be on the first flight to you.”
For courage, I stroke down the cat’s back. “Michael showed up at the cabin.”
