The next morning, Lizzie got up and had breakfast. She did her chores, and
helped her Mom wash the van. At a little after noon, she was just emerging
from the shower when her phone rang. Her caller ID showed that it was
Miranda calling from work, so she picked it up.
"Hey!"
"Hey, yourself. You awake yet?"
"Yeah. I've been up for hours. Just because I took the whole week off doesn't mean I'm going to spend it sleeping!" Lizzie retorted.
"You could've fooled me last night! How's that "headache?" Decided to tell him yet?"
"Ha ha! My head is fine, thank you. I was just going to grab lunch, and then finish packing." The last part of that sentence was lost because there was a loud beep from call waiting. "Hang on a minute, Miranda. I gotta see who this is."
"Hey, Lizzie, get Mom, ok?" Ordinarily, Lizzie would have interrogated him before handing over the phone to someone else. But not this time.
"Hang on, Matt. Miranda's on the other line. Let me ring off with her, and I'll call Mom. –flash- Miranda, I gotta go. Matts on the other line, and he doesn't sound good."
"Ok. I get off for a couple of hours this afternoon. I'll come by, ok?"
"Hey!"
