Chapter 4: Connection
“Hey, sweetie. What’s up in Beckley?”
“Naomi! Hi, babe. So glad to hear from you.”
Noami can hear the relief in Cat’s voice.
“Everything okay there? How are the kitties?”
Cat laughs. “Fine. Crazy as always. They miss you…so do I, babe.”
Naomi instantly feels a pang of guilt, remembering that she had basically invited Reeta on a date. Well, not really. She’s just joining the entire group for dinner.
“Miss you, too. The film is coming along, though. I’m feeling like this trip was a good idea.”
Silence on the other end. Naomi waits.
“Okay. That’s great. I’ll be glad for it to be over, though, if I’m honest.”
Naomi’s turn to be silent. Then, “I know, Cat. I’ll make it up to you. When I get back, we’ll go to the mountains for a vacation. Just us, together. Right?
