“Hi, it’s Daisy. Not Duck and not Duke. Definitely not Buchanan. I’m a Calloway. If you haven’t misdialed then leave your name after the beep, and I’ll call you when I return from the moon. Don’t wait around. It may take a while.” BEEP.

The camera caught her mid-laugh. She’s gorgeous. And she’s mine. I don’t want to burn this picture. I want to frame that happiness and revisit it every morning and every night for the rest of my life.
