After a harsh dismissal from the director, Brooke took out her phone and placed a call to Thane, at first he didn't pick up. Hence she called a taxi, directed him on where to go and tried to catch some sleep in the backseat.
However, barely some minutes after, Thane called back, and the moment Brooke heard his voice over the phone her eyes watered.
"Brooke I'm sorry for missing your call, I was in a meeting…"
In a sudden rush tears came gushing out of her eyes, she covered her mouth so he wouldn't hear her cry.
Concerned he called out to her, "Brooke, can you hear me?"
She hugged the phone to her chest, imagining he was there with her. The taxi driver stared at her through the rear view mirror, wondering if he should say something.
For the next minute, no one said a word, the only thing she could hear over the phone was the sound of brisk walking and the sound of his rushed breathing.
