Bonnie waited for Ivor's response, but he stayed quiet. She asked again, "Ivor, why aren't you saying anything? Did the call freeze?"

Ivor was at a loss, but her question gave him an idea. He could use the lousy connection as an excuse to hang up. Although it had been a while since he had seen his wife or heard her voice, he had to keep his whereabouts a secret.

She read his lips and said, "I can read your lips but can't hear you. Can you hear me?"

Ivor had forgotten that his wife could lipread, so he pretended he could not hear her. He mouthed, "Bonnie, the signal here is terrible. I'll hang up and call you back when it improves."

Bonnie pursed her lips when he hung up the call. Then, she texted Toby and asked for pictures of his room in the research facility.
