Flora's POV:

As I lay in bed idly, my phone started to ring.

"One at a time, Flora, or I won't know which to answer first," Sylvia finally replied in a helpless yet joking tone.

I sank back into bed and raised my feet in the air, stretching absentmindedly. "How many calls have you made to announce your safety?"
