Take Me Now
“I’m not in the mood to run barefoot to the register in order to pick it up but my deep-seated work ethic overrules my inner slacker. I race for the receiver, nearly knocking it off the wall in my haste. If it’s a telemarketer, they’re about to get an earful concerning the Riverside Gardens’ number being on the official ‘do not call’ list.
“Hello?” Her voice sounds shaky but I’d know it anywhere.
“Ivy? What’s wrong?” I cut to the chase. In just her one-word greeting, I can tell she’s in some kin...d of trouble.
“Eric, hey.” She swallows on the other end in attempt to compose herself. “I thought I’d call and see how you’re doing.”
The caller ID is displaying the digits to her cell and I write them on the back of my hand in case we get disconnected or something. I’m not losing contact with her, not again. Her reaching out to me is the opportunity I’ve been waiting for. I’m not going to mess this up. It’s too important.
