Against The Fire
“Um… sorry, who is this? I’ve got a couple missed calls from this number.”
Eli froze. He knew that voice.
“Adrian?” There was another pause. Then, “Mr. Eli?”
Eli’s lips parted in disbelief and relief. “You actually called back.”
“Yes, I saw your missed calls.” Adrian defended. But didn't say anything else. He was nervous.
“So, why haven't you called? I have been waiting for your call.”
“I was confused, and moreover, I lost your card. Didn’t even know who kept calling.”
Eli chuckled, tension leaving his shoulders. “Well, I was starting to think you were ghosting me.”
