Hey Lisa, I'm so sorry to bother you this late, but have you heard from Chris?

No, sweetie, I have not. He called me about two hours ago asking if I took my medicine at midnight but other than that I haven't talked to him. Is everything ok?

I'm just concerned since he hasn't answered my texts or calls for three and a half hours.

Oh dear...hold on I will give him a call.

Okay, call me back after please.

Hello?

Poppy, honey, I didn't reach him. Maybe he stayed in a motel tonight. There were some bad thunderstorms a while ago. He may have been unsure about driving all the way up tonight.

But I think he would've called me if that were the case. I just am worrying myself sick.

I don't know how else to reach him. I'm worried, too. He usually always answers me when I call.

Same here.

I guess all we can do is sleep and wait to hear from him in the morning. He's a big boy, Poppy. I'm sure he's fine.

I guess. I'm sorry for waking you up.

It's okay! I'm just worrying myself now. But I'm sure he's okay. Let me know if he calls you.

I will. Promise

Try to get some sleep, love. Chris has told me about how you worry yourself to the point of feeling sick.

I'll try.

Goodnight, Poppy.

Goodnight.
