ZAYNE’S POV “Hey,” I greeted as I answered Andrea’s call. “Gotten an Uber yet?” A weird sound responded. I frowned and stood up from the couch in the living room. Nora looked up from the TV at me in question. I signaled that I would be back and moved towards the foyer. “Drea?” I called out. I couldn’t hear anything other than that strange sound like…choking? “Andrea!” I called out again, feeling panic rise in my chest. “Andrea, can you hear me?” I heard a soft thud, like the phone had fallen. “Andrea!” I yelled. Then I heard a small shuffle and a feminine voice I didn’t recognize floated through the speaker. “Andrea can’t come to the phone right now, but feel free to leave a message.” There was a manic giggle. “Although I can’t promise she’ll ever receive it.”
