The bright light bounced off her beautiful brown orbs while her nails clacked against the devices screen with ease.

Pressing the phone up to her ear she began to chew on her lip, attempting to stop herself from sobbing furthermore.

Please pick up.

One ring.

Two rings.

Three rings later, he finally answered.

Silence took over for the first few minutes, like usual.

"Hello?" He finally beamed, although sleep was apparent in his voice. His mind seemed to be somewhere else and low noises from a muffled voice came from the other end.

"Do you love me?" She abruptly asked.

"Of course."

"I love you." He bluntly stated.
