Carabella missed her best friend even more when she heard her favorite romantic song while practicing her dance routine with her friend. Her eyes welled up with tears as the song played on repeat, deliberately calming her fears. Even though she had no one to accompany her, her friend was the only one who could comfort her. That's what made her feel miserable if she married Flint.
"Have sweet dreams, Ella."
A beaming smile spread across her face. "By the way, how long am I going to leave you like this?"
"Until you really fall asleep."
"How did you know I was asleep?"
"When I called you and you didn't respond, I assumed you were asleep."
Hearing her friend's words and this romantic song made her even more reluctant to sleep. She kept tossing and turning in bed, even though it was a single bed. If she were ever given the chance to meet her friend in person, this time she wouldn't be shy anymore. She wanted to embrace that muscular body that always made her smile.
