Magnus eventually grew slightly more thoughtful.
“You know,” he said, “once everything here settles and I return…” He paused. “I’m planning something important for us.”

Sarah narrowed her eyes playfully, still thinking about what he said.
They spoke for another fifteen minutes before finally ending the call.
When the screen went dark, Sarah remained seated on the couch, staring quietly at her phone.
