I stared at the screen and sneered. If she had to make a scene, she could go find her brother. Why bother looking for me?
I replied with four words. [Do as you wish.]
Then, I simply blocked her.
I leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze, feeling a little melancholy.
Soon, my ringing phone broke my daze and Jeremiah's video call invitation pooped up.
"Hailey!" His eyes sparkled on the screen. "Give me a heart!"
I froze. "Why suddenly ...."
A heart? So tacky.
"I don't care," he said, leaning closer to the camera, "I want it now."
Amused by his childish expression, I helplessly made a quick heart shape with my hands and got goose bumps all over myself.
He immediately covered his heart, closed his eyes and made an exaggerated intoxicated expression.
When he opened his eyes, he suddenly blinked his right eye at me.
But, for some reasons, my heart skipped a beat.
"Hey! Look out the window! Here's a gift for you."
He ordered me with a chuckle and the video call came to an abrupt end.
The night sky outside suddenly lit up.
Hundreds of drones formed a flashing heart, which then transformed into a line of words. [Happy Birthday, Hailey.]
Tears instantly blurred my sight.
