003: Waiting

Biting your nails as your stare never leaves your phone that lay on your desk, empty and silent.

Come on.. how long does it take, huh?

Your phone comes to life as the screen lights up and the annoying ringtone begins to sound in the silent room. Lunging forward, you grab it and answer the call, pressing the phone to your ear.
