Recollections

DAY 22 CONTINUES

While lying in bed, Phina gazed up at the ceiling. She was making a great effort to forget what Patrick had said. However, her subconscious was not helping her. It continued bringing it up to her. As the recollections of the words returned, she could not stop tears streaming down her face. She attempted to hold back the tears by closing her eyes. However, she was utterly failing.

Her phone rang in a place that only God knows, and she had no idea who it was from. She hopes it's not one of her relatives. She tried to locate the source of the ringtone's sound.

At last, she discovers it wrapped around the bedspread. When she pulls out the phone, Patrick's mother's voice rings.

"Hello, ma."

She was taken aback that the woman could reach her. She felt awful suddenly, and she hadn't called her since the day she left. She cleared her throat and answered the phone immediately.
