Desmond woke up with a groan. He rolled to his sides shifting to the edge of his bed to avoid the hot sunlight streaming in from the windows. He had forgotten to draw the damned curtains close! Again!
The events of the previous day rushed back to him and he got to his feet to unplug his charging phone.
"Oh Summer!" He bellowed to himself when he saw three missed calls from her. He had intentionally put it on silent before charging. The time was almost ten so he called back immediately, praying she had disembarked from her flight already.
"Hello" He muttered with relief when it connected.
"Good morning sleepy head!"
Her voice came to him like fresh spring water. He could almost picture her smiling. "My phone was on silent. Just got up."
"Figured. I'm just about boarding my flight."
