I jumped when my phone rang. From the ring tone I knew it was Kylie face messaging me. Before answering it, I quickly looked around for something to prop it up on.

“Is it Kylie?” Denny guessed.

“Yeah. I just need something to prop it up so I can talk to her.”

“Do you want me to hold it?”

I considered that for a moment and nodded.

“Thanks,” I said as we both got into position and then I swiped to answer.

“What took you so long to answer? Are you okay?” my sister signed.

“Fine. Just getting situated so we can talk.”

“Sorry I ditched you.”

“It's okay. Did you have fun?”

“Yes.”

“Great.”

“I'm staying with A-U-T-U-M-N again tonight. Is that okay?”

“It's fine. I'm happy you made a friend.”

“Breakfast in the morning?”

“Sure. Cafeteria, or do you guys want to come back here?”

“I'll let you know in the morning.”

“Okay.”

“Did you want to do anything tonight?”

She cringed and I knew the answer was no before she even made the sign.

“We have plans.”

“Okay. Be safe and have fun.”

“You too. Love you.”

“Love you.”

She disconnected as I sat there staring blankly at the screen.
