The sky outside was just beginning to lighten, and Luke turned toward my direction. His eyes lit up with joy as he immediately lunged toward me. "Chloe, you're finally back!"

It was clear he was aiming for a hug, but he missed entirely, crashing heavily onto the floor instead.

The call wouldn't connect, and Luke's frown deepened with each passing second.
