Julia tapped her on the head with a doting yet frustrated look. "You little rascal!"

She fell asleep last night after she reached home because she was tired. When she turned on her phone, she finally recalled the

Winston's texts flooded in. "Is your phone turned off? Did you stand me up?"

"Millie Caldwell, you only have until 2:00 pm!"

"Fine."

She stared at his texts wordlessly. She wondered if she could argue with him, telling him she slept her way until noon the next day because she arrive saving Sean's life.
