It wasn't until Lou dropped Lux off to me that I'd actually brought myself to use those ten numbers. Hey, how are you doing? After then minutes I knew I should had waited.

"How many?" Lux questions, glaring at me.. Her hands were behind her back again.

"Hm.. I hummed. I tapped my chin, then glanced at her reflection in the window. "Four?" I guessed. She pulled her hands back and gasps once again. She let out a growl at me, making me laugh.

"Okay, one more!" She exclaims, pulling her hands back. I could easily see she had all ten finger up.

"Um, is it six?" I ask, causing her to release a huge squeal.

"It was ten, I had ten!" She stood, jumping at me, despite her cast. I held her up by her under arms as she wrapped them around me. "Can we watch Little Mermaid?" She asks pushing off of me.

As I went to reply to her, my phone buzzed. I grabbed it, letting myself fall back as Lux used me to get up. I'm sorry, who is this? She was even polite to strangers. I don't think I should tell you, you might not want to talk

"Harry, Harry, Harry!" Lux was chanting my name.

"Okay, lay down, I'll get it." I told her, sitting up to pull her to the top of my bed, which a got a giggle for. I retrieved her tablet, opening her Downloaded Movies. "You have the Land Before Time?" I ask, excitedly, making her laugh.

"I like Ducky." She said, in place of an answer.

"I think we should watch that since you mum says you watched Little Mermaid on the flight." I tell her. She easily agreed. My phone buzzed as the movie opened. So why contact me then?

I guess I couldn't help myself. I turned off the light and let Lux move herself into my side to see the screen. Okay, who is this?

You're making me feel guilty

You should

Sorry if I offended you

It's Curly.

I felt Lux tense beside me, as I looked down, I saw she was asleep.

Harry?

Yes.

How'd you get my number?

...I'm no snitch

I'm not mad, why wouldn't I want to talk to you?

Don't play dumb, Celine.

That's huge, how do you feel so far?

Nervous as hell, but tonight was incredible

How are you doing?

Can I call you?

Celine

I glanced around the cabin of the bus, seeing myself alone. Naomi went to her bunk already, and Aspen and Rylee are in the back writing. As my phone vibrated I hesitating. After letting it buzz in my lap, I picked it up and hit answer. I opened my mouth and nothing came out.
