I missed you*
Leo's phone rang incessantly on the table but he did not move.
He had one arm over his forehead as he lay stretched out on the couch.
His eyes were shut but he was not sleeping, he waited for his phone to stop ringing but it seems the caller was persistent.
Angrily, he stretched his hand and reached for the phone, without looking at the screen, he swiped up and answered.
"Leo… it's me."
Before be could bark at the caller, he heard the tiny sweet voice he had yearned to hear for months,
His eyes flung open and he sat up instantly.
He looked at the phone but it was an unknown number, putting it back on his ear, he cleared his throat and spoke.
"Claire? Is that you?"
He asked to be sure, maybe he had started hearing things.
"Yes, it's me. I've missed you."
Her voice broke as she spoke, Leo felt his legs weaken. Missing her was an understatement of what he was feeling right now.
