“Answer.”

I laughed. “Get your backpack.”

She slid out of the chair.

“That means yes.”

I smiled.

Relax.

You brought it up.

This is why I don’t compliment you.

That was a compliment?

There was a pause before her response came through.

Goodbye Ellis.

I laughed and set the phone down.

“Was that Miss Luna?”

I looked toward the doorway.

Mila was standing there with her backpack hanging from one shoulder.

“You are entirely too invested in my phone.”
