After getting Rose’s aunt’s number, I got off the piano to find my father. He was doing something on the computer.
“Hey dad? I have Rose’s aunt’s number, you can call her.” I said, giving him a post-it note that I’d written the number on.

“Thanks.” He said, picking up the house phone. I went to my room with my cell still connected to Rose’s.

“Hey sweetie.”
“Hey. That took a while…”
I scoffed, “I was gone less than a minute!”
She giggled like the silly girl she is, “I’m just kidding; but really, any time away from you is too long…”
As I heard this, my heart swelled with affection for Rose, and I sighed in content.
“I really can’t wait to see you, lovely…”
She mmmed in reply, “Me either…”

Just then I heard my father laughing outside my bedroom door. I looked out to see that he was on the phone.
“Rose?”
“Yea?”
“Is your aunt laughing?”
“Umm yea, pretty loud, and it’s kinda annoying.”
I laughed in amusement, “My dad’s laughing too.”
The two of us began luaghing at the thought.
