Turning Point (A Reaching Out Novel)

Chapter Sixty-Eight

Harry's Perspective
Day 3 of Allana's tour and I am crazy bored.
First, because I don't want to move.
Second, because she's not here, and
Third, I don't want to move.
She has been holding huge clutches.
Well, not that huge, it was enough to cover her tummy.
And she always calls when she wakes up and before she sleeps
It's a good thing that Allana is going home tomorrow.
Because seeing her on the telly is not working.
I mean, I know it's her, she's smiling, waving, but I think it's not the same!
Especially now, I miss her.
Real deal.
I have no one to talk to.
Except for Austin, he just comes in here to update me with my schedule, and escort me to it.
Then my phone rang.
" Hey, how are you? " I said
It's Allana and she's in Toronto.
Which means, it's nighttime in her time.
" Hey, I'm fine. You? "
" I'm just waiting for your phone call. "
" Seriously? "
" Yeah, I miss you. "
" I miss you too. "
" So, what's up? " I asked her.
" I lost my retainers. "
" Excuse me? "
" You know what retainers are right? "
" Yes. "
" And I lost them. "
" Seriously? "
" Could you check if I left them there? "
" What colour is the case? "
" It's pink. "
" Wait. "
I scootched over to her bedside, and they weren't there.
" When did you last wear them? " I asked.
" Yesterday. "
" Yep, hon, you lost it. "
" How could I lose them?! "
" I don't, uh, did you use them there? "
" Yes, last night. "
" And you've searched everywhere? "
" Yes. "
" Yes, hon, you lost them. "
" Ugh, anyway, I didn't feel like wearing them anymore, so, it's fine. "
" Seriously? "
" Yeah. "
" You know I miss you right? "
" I miss you too. "
" I love you."
" I love you. "
