Chapter 137: The exciting news

~~~Now the miles stretched out behind me. Loves that I have lost, broken hearts lie, victims of the game. Then good luck, it finally struck like lightning from the blue. Every highway's leading me back to you. Now, at last, I hold you, now all is said and done. The search has come full circle, our destinies are one.~~~

-David Pomeranz / Survivor-

I just sighed inwardly when he started asking about Luke and his company.

-'Dear God.'- I silently uttered and gave him a forced smile.

I told Dana I'm not going to the coffee shop today. I want to take this day off. Well, it's not that just that I want to stay home all day but because I have a lot of things to do... change the beddings, curtains and wash my dirty clothes. I would also like to change some decorations that have been left by the ages and throw out those things I no longer need such as being bitter and broken-hearted----oops! Just kidding!

I was in the middle of changing my curtains when I heard my phone ringing on the center table. So I have no choice but to go down the stairs and pick up the call.

It's Cali, my sweetest Cali.

"Hello, honey,"

"Hi, Mom, how are you?"

Ohh... I was supposed to ask that question first but my daughter beat me.
