"Hey," was Darren's reply.
"Hey," the voice I'd been longing to hear all day greeted me finally.
"Hey Julian," I responded with a lazy smile on my face. My wet hair fell free as I laid back against my bed. The only thing covering me was another towel, bigger than the one which had been twisted around my hair, and as soon as the opportunity arosed, I was going to let him know that.
"You sound tired," he observed, sounding concerned and it made my heart skip a beat.
"Didn't sleep so well," I told him honestly but I didn't say why because that would be awkward. My conversation with Zach sprang to mind and I shook my head to get rid of it. "No big deal. How's your day been?"
"Not bad," he answered. "Someone set fire to their exes car but no one was hurt. That's what's important."
