” “Okay. And thanks.” “No problem. Chat later.” Elaine pressed the end call button, put down the phone and chuckled. “Sorry ab...ut that.” “Ditz,” Gary teased. “Axe murderer,” Elaine replied. They both laughed. “I can’t believe I forgot my frigging phone.” “I’m just glad everything is okay.” Their eyes met again. Elaine whispered, “Yeah.
