Prologue
I woke up to the annoying sound of my telephone. I moaned, tossed the covers over my head, and reached out for the phone. "Hello?" I grumbled.
"Good morning," Jeff greeted kindly. I moaned again.
"Do you have to wake me up? It's Saturday, one of two days that I have to sleep in," I complained. Jeff chuckled.
"Sorry, but you know how important this day is to me," he replied. I shot up and looked at my bedside calendar.
"Oh no! Oh Jeff, I completely forgot! I'm so sorry!" I cried, leaping out of bed and looking for a pair of jeans.
"It's okay," he replied softly. I dressed quickly and ran a brush through my hair.
"I'll be right over," I said quickly, and slammed the phone down. I raced downstairs, grabbing a banana on the way. Mom and dad were at the kitchen table.
"I'll be back later," I called to them, and without another word, I was out the door.
