John, still smiling, hit the button to call Lady Penelope, he had it set to buzz her as a precaution and waited for her to answer.
He smiled when her smiling face appeared on the screen, "John, darling, How are you and what can I do for you?"
John cleared his throat, blushing, "Umm hi Lady Penelope, I'm…alright. I was hoping to talk to Victoria or if she's busy maybe you could get a message to
her."
His heart and stomach plummeted when he saw the look of sad regret appear on her face, "Oh dear, John I'm so sorry but even though we are staying at the
same hotel and Parker and I will be attending the trial, we are not allowed to have any contact with her until it's over. Because it is such a high profile
case only those involved directly are allowed to converse. Why don't you go ahead and give me your message and I will get it to her if I can."
John looked down for a minute to hide the disappointment he felt and thought about what he wanted to say. Looking up he smiled slightly, "Could you just write
her a note saying, Sorry for being an idiot and sign it love your star man"
She looked down as she jotted his words down onto a piece of paper. Finally she looked up smiling, "I'll do everything I can to see that she gets it. I'll let you
know later, I have to go, bye, John."
John smiled gratefully at her, "Thanks Lady Penelope, bye."
