The call had been going on for hours, neither of them really wanting to hang up.!!!!!
“Are you still there?” she whispered softly, her voice already heavy with sleep.....
“I am,” he replied, smiling into the darkness of his room. “I’m not going anywhere.”
There was a gentle silence, filled only with the faint sound of their breathing. It felt like they were in the same room, even though miles stretched between them.
“I wish you were here,” she murmured.
“Close your eyes,” he said. “Pretend I am. I’d be right next to you… holding your hand.”✦✦
She smiled, eyes closed, clutching her pillow just a little tighter. “Then don’t let go.”
“Never,” he whispered.
Minutes passed. Her breathing grew slower, softer. He realized she had fallen asleep—but he didn’t hang up. Instead, he stayed, listening to the quiet rhythm of her sleep, feeling strangely at peace.
Before drifting off himself, he murmured one last thing, barely audible—
“Goodnight… I love you.”❤︎❤︎❤︎
On the other end, though asleep, she shifted slightly… as if she heard him.
And somehow, even through a phone call, it felt like they fell asleep in each other’s arms.❤︎❤︎.☘︎ ݁˖
