Operation Tell Him The Truth

Sarah was alarmed when she saw the time on her clock. Her cell phone was ringing, and it wasn't even 6 A.M. Who'd be calling this early? She reached over and looked at her phone. It was Sydney. She flipped it open not sure what to expect.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Lynni." He sounded calm enough.

"Everything okay?"

"Yeah," he said. "Sorry for calling so early. I couldn't sleep."

"Why? What's wrong?" In all the years she'd known him, she knew the only times he couldn't sleep were when he was stressing about something. She sat up and plopped a pillow behind her.

"Nothing's wrong."

Sarah knew that tone. "Sydney, you're stressing about something. You should know better than to try and hide it from me."

There was silence on the other end then a sigh. "I can't stop thinking about you and Angel," he said. "Are you sure you're going to be okay coming back here?"
