"How's day two at the lake?"

"It's so much fun. I wish you were here," Grant whispers back. I can imagine him, in his tent, lazily smiling at our conversation.

The first day, I texted Grant a couple times, but he ended up calling me later that night.

"Maybe another time."

"Maybe," he wistfully says, "Maybe."

"I still don't get how you have service there."

"Don't know, Ven. Who cares, though, at least you get to hear my sexy voice."

I laugh, "Sexy? You're kidding, right?"

I can also see him pout, "No, I'm not kidding. I'm sexy."

I raise an eyebrow, forgetting he can't see me, "Sure."

"You're raising an eyebrow, aren't you?" he laughs, "I'm literally imagining everything you're doing."

Biting my lip to hold back a smile, I say, "Yeah, same here."

"I miss you."

"We're like a couple," I giggle, "damn."

"Just accept that I miss you."

"I miss you, too, Grant. Three more days."

"Three more days," he echoes.

We continue talking until we both fall asleep, neither of us hanging up the phone.
