“Jolia, remember, I am just a phone away.”

“Yes, brother. Thank you. Love lots.”

“Keep in touch.”

It had been years but Jolia didn’t phone her brother for some reasons. When she returned home, her brother confronted her.

“Jolia, I was so worried when I didn’t receive a call or a message from you. I tried to call you but it was no avail. What happened?”

“I never thought you’ll expect my call; remember, you were just a phone away. Meaning, you just out in the neighborhood, like a literal phone away.”

Her brother slapped his face. “Oh, naive Jolia.”
