It was the moment of truth. Chris was up and eating breakfast and it was time to try her phone. She pulled it out of the bag of rice and closed her eyes as she pressed the power button. In seconds she felt the tell-tale vibration of the phone powering on and nearly wept with relief.
It took a few minutes for everything to come through, but she got all of Daniel’s messages and a few from the sitter. Apparently she could no longer sit for her, having made a part in the school play that would take her time. Macy wrote back telling her congratulations and sank onto the couch. She was well and truly out of luck now.
Her next message was to Daniel, thanking him again and letting him know her phone was working just fine. Thankfully she was off today, but would likely have to take Chris to work
