“How was it?” Travis’ voice in her ear on the drive back home.
“As you expect. Lucille Lawes was as- words cannot convey.”
“You talked with her?”
Delighted to talk about it. “Yes. She just looked so…”
Travis chuckled. “It’s been a while since I’ve heard you this way. Did you get what I needed?”
“Mmhmm.” She let out a breath. “I’ll send it to you in two days.”
“Annie-“
“I’m sorry Trav, but I haven’t had a good sleep in weeks. I intend to stay asleep for the next two days. I can’t be writing you a report after-“
“You’re right, you’re right. I’m sorry. You did well Annie.”
“I would rather have you here carrying me up to our room while I sleep in your arms but I guess I can accept this instead.” Her nose up.
He laughed. “I don’t know what to say to that.”
“Bea was there. “I wasn’t expecting her.”
“Elias thought it would be a good idea. Last minute too.”
“Did he ask her to sing, because she did and everyone was in awe.”
