Silence hung on the line for an eternity from Levi’s end.

Just as Karen was about to speak up, a clatter echoed through the receiver like a tumbler taking a dive.

Karen gasped.

Moments later, Levi panted back into the conversation, “So, what are you in the mood for? I’ll swing by and pick you up!”

Karen couldn’t help but chuckle, “Here I thought you didn’t want to treat me. “

“No, it’s not that! I just… I didn’t expect you to bring this up…”
