I brought up Alanna's number and put the phone to my ear. Luckily, she answered on the second ring. "Hey". She answered.

"Hi". Even through the phone it felt awkward. I didn't want it to be awkward between us. She stormed out without an explanation, and I had no idea what was going on with her. Therefore, I had no idea what to say.

"Are you coming for dinner tonight?". She asked.

"Yeah, we'll be there".

"Good, that's good".

"Are you okay?". I asked.

"Yeah, just had a few crappy days but I'm okay".

"Do you want to talk about it?". I didn't want to push her into telling me. If she didn't want to talk about it, then that was okay.

"We could grab coffee tomorrow?". She suggested.

"I'd like that". I smiled.

"Then that's what we'll do. I'll see you tonight. Bye Leah".

"Bye". I ended the call putting my phone on the bedside table.
