No reply Sitting in the station waiting for my train, I nodded off more than once I set the timer on my phone for every ten minutes, so I wouldn’t miss the last train

Safely on board, I set another alarm, so I wouldn’t miss my stop

“Ma’am” Someone rocked my shoulder

Groggy, I opened my eyes and looked up at the conductor

Snapping up straight, I squeezed the bridge of my nose and rubbed my eyes “Are we in Philly yet?”

“Philly? Sweetheart, Philadelphia was five stops ago”

I shot up out of my seat The train car was e above the platforton, DC

I gathered everything up and bolted off the train Scra for another ticket, I was back on my way to Philly too late to show up at Leo’s As much as I wanted to sleep beside him and check over his work, I stopped myself Trust hi well, knowing he had everything handled, and that toer than I’d ever worked on before

40

Leo

I jolted awake Pens and pencils were sprayed across the table Fuck,atit and releasing a grateful sigh that all the work I’d done last night was saved and backed up

My phone buzzed the angry song across the paper-covered table top I rubbed my eyes and cracked my back

Shit! It was already 8am

Zara: Are you on your way?

Me: In a taxi now I’ll be there in a bit
