Her phone continued to ring persistently. Each chime of the ringtone amplified her unease. His name felt glaring, almost accusatory, on the screen 

She let the phone ring on, exhaling a shaky breath as it finally stopped. But the reliet was short–lived, as Marcos called again almost immediately. 

It was clear he wouldn’t stop until she answered 

Steeling herself, Natalie accepted the call and brought the phone to her ear. “Hello, Mr. Holden, What’s the matter?”
