The phone stopped ringing, and Mia answered.
“Hey, Lin? What's up? You OK?”
Her voice echoed slightly. She was in some open room, maybe a bathroom.
I tried to speak, but hearing Mia's voice had brought me close to tears. I swallowed hard. Just a few sentences now.
“Can I see you?”
There was no hesitation in her voice.
“Sure. Right now?”
I swallowed again.
“If you can?”
It was one o'clock in the morning. I hoped Mia was still unemployed and didn't have work in the morning.
“Errr… There's a twenty-four-hour diner on Second near Hunter. Meet me there?”
