It was 5:00 a.m.
A little more and the sun will finally be out for a new day.
Scott received a phone call from Brigid.
He slid his thumb across the screen, answering it with a relaxed tone.
"Heya!"
Brigid was so happy on the other end that she practically gushed as she spoke.
[Lord Scott! You've been gone for twelve hours! I miss you so much. Won't you come back to the rental apartment? We still have three more days on it!]
Her high-energy voice vibrated through the speaker.
[I'll get the chefs to whip up the best meals, and when we're done eating THAT food box ... you can go down on my box, tee-hee-hee!]
Scott could tell just how cute Brigid would look behind that phone right now. It made him smile a little, and he adjusted his glasses with his free hand.
"I dunno about the other part, but I'll make sure to get you some sweets on my way back. And ooo, there's this hairband with a pretty shade of green I got you. It really suits your eyes. I'm sure you'll love it."
