On the other end of the phone, Lina said, "What's wrong?"

Sherry paused for a few seconds before saying, "Nothing, thank you."

Hanging up the phone, she switched on her computer and sorted through the photos.

Sherry had meant to ask Lina how she had found her phone number, but it seemed that she shouldn’t take the trouble to ask.

After selecting the most satisfying photos she had taken and sending them over, Sherry closed the computer and went into the bathroom.

When she got out of the shower, Sherry couldn't sleep and cleaned up the house. Before long, a faint glow tinted the sky in the distance.

She sat down in front of her computer and worked on the pictures she hadn't finished retouching.

It was a knock at the door that connected her with the outside world again.

Stella had thought Stella was still asleep when she left this morning, so she hadn't called her. But she couldn't let Sherry stay asleep just like that, so she ordered her lunch online.

Sherry took the paper bag from the deliveryman and sat down as she messaged Stella.

Her eyes widened as she caught sight of the time on her computer screensaver.

It was almost twelve o'clock!

Her plane would take off at 2 pm.

Sherry quickly ate her lunch, fixed her hair, and didn't have time to pack her clothes, so she grabbed the suitcase she'd brought back from London, hastily stuffed two more clothes in it and left.

By the time she arrived at the airport, it was already a little past one o'clock.

She was running wild the whole time, from check-in to safety inspection.

And she finally managed to get on the plane just before it took off.
