Amanda's POV:

Things were getting less and less exciting by the day. There was nowhere to go, with nothing, or no one, to see.  My conversations with Liz were also nothing much to talk about, because, there was nothing to talk about! At least it was that way... 

*Insert Skype Video Call ringing noise* 

"Good morning Liz!" I began, as soon as I pressed the answer button. "How are you doing today?"
