No return

I hadn’t noticed that my mobile’s battery was down to 1% and about to cut out. I needed it on charge quickly.

“Gotta go, battery’s almost dead. Call me back in 5 mi......”

It was dead. Just like that. I connected to charger and waited for it to indicate 1% again. Then I waited for Aidan’s return call. And I waited, and I waited, and I waited.

I used this time to run though in my head everything that had transpired... and particularly what his cryptic ‘getting much warmer’ in relation to his mobile might mean.

Still no return call.
