"Alright, thank you." Brandon took it and said casually, "Do you want to come in and have a seat?"
"Where's Sarah?" Shelly could not help but ask.
"She's still asleep," Brandon said.
"She's still asleep at this hour?" Shelly was surprised.
She thought she woke up late, but Sarah was still asleep.
"She's too tired from last night, so I let her sleep a little longer today," Brandon blurted out.
After Brandon said it, Shelly felt so awkward. No matter how innocent an adult was, they would know what "tired" meant. As expected, they were just joking around when they said they had broken up.
Brandon also felt a little… embarrassed after he said it out loud. After all, he was not too familiar with Shelly.
The two of them stood in awkward silence for a few seconds before Shelly quickly said, "Since Sarah is still asleep, I won't disturb her. Just pass her the phone for me, and I'll head off now."
"Alright, thank you."
