Fully expecting her to ignore it, as she usually does, I walk toward the group, but then the line stops ringing, and a soft little ‘hello’ fills my ear. I stop in my tracks, satisfaction curling my lips. “What’s this fool grinning at?” Neo teases, tossing his hat in the air and catching it on his head in an attempt to impress. I flip him off and spin away. “Tobias?” “Hi.” “Hi.” Her tone is teasing. “Uh, I’m in Arizona.” What the fuck? No shit, I’m in Arizona. She knows this.
