The Phone Call
It came while they were having their morning coffee. Mark’s phone lit up and he grabbed it off the table. Maybe a little quicker than he should have. Ally wondered who could be calling, and why Mark would be so anxious.
She couldn’t hear the other end of the conversation, but she saw Mark smile. Then he started to laugh. She saw the handsome twinkle in his eye that had gone missing since they married. Mark put down the phone and Ally anxiously asked him what it was all about.
