107 On the call (part 1)

I laid down on the sofa, staring at the beautiful skyline of the city while sipping… not on a glass of some ordinary whiskey christened with ice, but on a freshly made drink of Fay's creation. 

Sipping down on the delicacy, I impassively stared out of the window, as if the darkness of the night could somehow fuel and direct my thoughts.

And as I relaxed and allowed my thoughts to freely wander, the phone in my pocket finally started to ring. 

Pulling it out, I took a quick glance at the screen and heaved a sigh.
