Chapter 0066
The phone rings twice before I hear Dot’s voice.
“Luke, you better be calling with some good news because em going crazy here. She should be awake by now and the healers need…”
“Hi, Dot,” I cut her off. I can’t believe no one has told her Im awake yet.
“Josie?” she gasps,
“Yes, it’s me,”
“Oh my goodness, Josie, it’s so good to hear your voice! I’ve been so worried. How are you? When did you wake up?” she blurts and I can hear the emotion in her voice.
“I’m good Dot, thanks to you. The doctor said I have no negative effects,” I tell her.
“I’m so happy to hear that, I thought maybe I messed up and…” her words are cut off by a sob.
“Dot, I’m fine. You saved me, I owe you my life,” I say with tears rolling down my face. I wish I could hug her right now, she has spent all these weeks thinking she had done something wrong.
“They wouldn’t let me see you, I’ve been going crazy here. Is Mason with you?” she asks.
“I know, I called as soon as I found out. Mason is not here right now,” I’m not sure how much I should tell her
about him.
“Oh, Josie I’m so worried about him too. How is he? He was so broken and now he won’t speak to me at all. Seeing him like that was worse than when…”
“I’m not alone,” I cut her off when I notice Theo paying extra attention to our conversation.
“Who are you with?”
“Theo and Luke,” I say nervously and Dot blows out a relieved sounding breath.
“That’s okay, maybe they can help him. Tell them what you think they should know but do not, under any circumstances, let Mason find out,” she says.
“Okay. He’s not doing great but I’ll get him back Dot, I promise, I got through to him once already, and we were making progress. I can do it again,” I tell her with determination.
“I know, I could tell. When are you coming home?” she asks.
“I’m not sure,” I look at the guys. Luke shrugs and Theo looks lost in thought. “I’ll let you know as soon as I know,”
“Okay, thank you for calling me. It is so good to hear from you. I’m glad you’re okay,” she cries again and I hear male voices in the background. Probably her bonds trying to comfort her. “I need to go, I’m mid–heat and I don’t want to be on the phone when the next wave hits,” she half laughs.
“Shit, sorry. Erm… have fun. I’ll see you soon,” I laugh.
“Message me when you get back and I’ll visit as soon as I can,”
“Will do, bye,”
