The next morning, I wake up in my room.

I decide to continue sleeping, and I dream.

I wake again with the sound of Galen speaking to someone. 

"Its no problem, yeah I'll let her know, I'm so sorry man, I will talk to you later" He ends the call and I wait in silence.

Galen walks through my bedroom door, and makes his way to the edge of the bed. 

"Good morning" I say trying to read his face. 

"Morning" He says with a long face. Something is wrong.

"Who was on the phone?" I ask sitting up now.

He lays down, and closes his eyes for a second or two. 

"Ollie, he can't come over today, family emergency" He says looking over at me, with sad eyes. 

"Okay" I respond, with hesitation.

Silence. I don't know what to say next. 

"Is he okay? is Fern okay?" I ask curious and confused. Galen smiles and grabs my hand to  kiss it. 

"They are okay"  he responds.

I stop questioning him and close my eyes again.
