Let the Dust Settle (Halloween)
If It's Not YouIt’s been two hours and she’s still wide-awake. It’s nothing new, sleeplessness sticking to her like a shadow in the night.
Her phone rings in the middle of playing a game and she almost drops it.
Because who the hell calls at quarter to 3 in the morning?
Wendy, that is.
Irene answers but all she hears are noises and repeated “hello” and “Irene.”
At least she knows the call is meant for her.
All she could do was whisper-yell back. It’s quiet in the house, and she has no intention of waking anybody up.
But Wendy doesn’t hear her and then the call ends.
Irene stares for a few seconds, wondering whether that really happened. A text message confirms it did.
sorry. it's noisy here. let’s just text?
Are you on your way home?
yeah. from work’s Halloween party.
Did you wear a costume? The one you were gushing about that last time?
Irene lightly chuckles. She does slightly wish she had seen Wendy wear it. She must have looked extra beautiful… regardless if a mask hid it most of the time.
I did. went as kaonashi. ;)
Irene smiles desp
