Synthia’s POV
“Hello?” the melodious voice repeated with a hint of irritation, and I snapped out of my trance. Sophie, my best friend, my sister… Hearing her voice brought so many feelings rushing through me that I wondered how I stayed this long without speaking to her and hearing her sweet voice. I realised that the time away from home hadn’t made me love her any less and I still loved her just as much as ever…
I opened my mouth to speak as a thousand thoughts flashed through my mind, but the only sound that came out of my mouth was a choking gasp.
The other end of the phone became silent too, and if not for the sound of the heavy breathing, I would have thought she had gone. After a few moments that felt like an eternity, I heard a sigh.
“S-Synthia?” she breathed out.
Tears fell
