“Saturday evening,” he corrected.

The reply made him uncomfortable, seeing that his number was somewhat special he had not been expecting that he'd be faced with the comment's that she'd be making at that point… wherever she was.

“You know who is talking right.” He asked again.

The back and forth went on for a while but soon he was relaxing back in his chair with a look of satisfaction right there on his face.

He rubbed the back of his head gingerly as he waited for something–good or bad– to come out of this discussion.For over one hour, he had been trying to make Antonia see why he needed to do this with Laura. Why it was important for Laura and the kids to come and live with them.Antonia kept pacing the length of the room, giving out a long sigh each time she had to reach the end of the room and turn back. Just when Christian was about to speak since the ridiculous tense silence was getting out of hand in his opinion, Antonia stood in front of him and gave a heavy sigh. She raised her hands and it came down to land on both sides of her thighs. “Alright, fine. Fine!” She said even though her tone that echoed in the room did not sound one bit like she was fine at all.Despite having rattled nerves, Christian found himself raising an eyebrow calmly. “
