I stared at my phone for a long time, unable to decide whether I should call the number that had been haunting me since earlier.
My thumb hovered uncertainly above the screen, yet I couldn't bring myself to press the caller ID.
Minutes slipped away, heavy and suffocating, but still, my hand refused to move.
With a trembling sigh, I slipped the phone back into my pocket and exhaled deeply.
So much had happened today that my chest felt unbearably tight.
First, Rome suddenly appeared, boldly claiming his rights over the twins. Then came the unexpected call from the number I never thought would reach out.
The fact that both happened on the same day made it almost impossible to breathe. It was as though fate had decided to crush me all at once.
I was just about to head back to the room where Egypt was when the vibration in my pocket froze me in place.
My ringtone echoed faintly.
Mommy, someone is calling you~~🎶
Egypt's innocent voice only tightened the knot in my throat.
