Early the next morning, Natalie was still deep in sleep when her phone started ringing, pulling her awake.

She opened her bleary eyes and glanced outside; the sky was already bright.

Hearing this, Natalie felt extremely hurt. 'I've already given up on expecting anything from them; why did I let myself be disappointed again?'
