— Is this Octavia Kelsey? < —
Louis was sure he had never stared at a text message for so long in his fucking life.
It was nearly a quarter past eight by now, and he was mentally cursing the existence of time zones. Back in LA, it was only around twelve in the morning, and he doubted he was going to get a response anytime soon.
However, there was one person he knew would be up at this hour, and he found his fingers working before the idea even fully processed in his head.
"What the hell are you doing up this early, mate?" Liam's voice boomed through the FaceTime, looking and sounding— as Louis assumed— wide awake. "You wet the bed, Lewis? Is the old age finally getting to you—"
"I found her," Louis cut him off promptly, and Liam's playful teasing immediately halted as he turned his full attention back to the screen. His head reeled back, thick brows furrowing.
"You found her?" Liam repeated back to him, his tone slightly deadpan. He was confused.
Louis sighed, "Payno," he said slowly, raising his brows expectantly. "I found her."
Liam, sweet, lovely, sometimes clueless Liam, only narrowed his eyes. "What the hell are you on about? What'dya mean you fou— ohhh,"
There it was— Louis could practically see the neurons finally connecting and everything.
Louis shook his head, mumbling a "Jesus Christ" as Liam sat up straighter, the sound of the movement ruffling through the speakers. "Holy shit, wait, y'found her? Like, actually?"
Louis shrugged, a smile growing on his lips. "Well, s'more like her sister is the one that found me, but, yeah. It's her."
"Her sister?" Liam questioned.
"Yeah. Sent me a long, professional email and everythin' with a few photos of her. Listed only things I would know— well, Octavia and I."
"Photos? Octavia?" Liam said, his toned laced with surprise. "Mate, this is a lot. Just send me the email, I'm getting lost here."
