Crimson Eve (2013)
“Who could be calling? Thornby?
Maybe it was the front desk.
Brandon.
No one else knew she was here. It had to be Brandon, checking up on her.
She hoped.
Carla stared daggers at the phone, as if her will alone would silence it. A second ring, and a third. Her nerves jangled. She limped to the bed stand and snatched up the receiver just to stop the noise. Slowly she brought it to her ear, then stilled.
She heard voices in the background. Felt a presence holding the phone, ...waiting for her to talk.
Seconds ticked by. Carla closed her eyes. It was Thornby.
“Carla?”
A voice she recognized. Not Thornby.
Carla bent over, feeling weak, then sat down hard on the bed. “Brandon.”
“Yeah. You okay? Didn’t think you were going to answer for a minute.”MoreLess
