Chase had just stepped out of the shower when he got a call from Celeste. The bathroom was damp and foggy. His hair dripped water onto his phone as he answered it.
“Hello?”
“What are you doing tonight?”
“Uh …” Chase wrapped a towel around his waist. “I’m going out with a friend.” He wiped at the mirror. “Why?”
“Oh, okay. I was just checking to see if you wanted to visit Gran with me and Andrew. Help her adjust to her new place. We bought her this cute little birdhouse that she’s going to love. Andrew is going to mount it in her little living room. You should come out!”
Chase peeked at the bathroom clock. “What time?”
“We’re headed there now, but if you’ve got plans, you can just come visit her tomorrow after work.”
“Yeah, tomorrow might work better.”
“Okay.” There was long pause. Chase exited the bathroom and started piecing together his outfit. Celeste continued. “How are you?”
Chase knew what she was getting at. “I’m fine. You know...” Another pause. “Hey, I gotta go. I’m almost late.”
“Oh, okay. Well, call me tomorrow. I might come with you to see her again.”
“Will do.”
“I love you,” she said in a teasing voice.
“You too,” Chase said quickly. He hung up and finished getting ready.~Chapter Seven comes out soon! Thanks for reading my story and I hope you're enjoying it so far.~
