Sophia felt her cell phone buzz in her pocket for a moment. Her grin seemed to widen as she thought of who it might be, but she couldn't stop to answer it now. She was still busy with work. Ten minutes later, however, Renee appeared with lunch. Grabbing her portion Sophia gave her mother a hurried kiss on the cheek and a 'thank you' before eagerly scurrying out the back door to sit outside and eat. Pulling up an overturned milk crate Sophia opened up her lunch, balancing it on her lap. She picked up her fork and ate with her left hand while with the right she pulled out her phone and scrolled through it to find her unread text messages.

She found the one she wanted and started to read. "Yes!" Sophia exclaimed excitedly to herself when she saw the text was from Tim. Unable to help it, Sophia beamed widely until she almost resembled the Chesire Cat. She quickly added Tim to her list of contacts and then started to reply to his message.

_Hi, Tim! ^.^_ She greeted happily. _Doing good. At work right now. But I'm off in two more hours and would love to hang out! What would you like to do? How are you, by the way?_

Sophia sent the message and turned her attention back to eating, though she waited with giddy anticipation to see if she'd get another text from Tim before she had to go back to work. This time, however, she planned to take her full thirty minute break.
