“Four, if he hadn’t been up there you would have been locked out with no phone and probably would have frozen to death you dumbass” Paige felt as if she’d handed Sio enough conversational slack to hang herself and felt obliged to finally kick the proverbial chair out from under her feet. The rest of it seemed beside the point. She perked up enough out of her hungover malaise to give a matter of fact glance back at her redheaded friend, but the slight tension faded when she mentioned Milo’s “lumberjack” like appearance and Paige chuckled thinking about him sawing on a tree with one of those big chain saws. [i]No, it would be an axe[/i]. She thought. He’d have to make it first, [i]then[/i] chop the tree down. The mental picture gave her a wry grin and she looked away sheepishly towards the window where she could see the sunlight sparkling across the midday water. She felt her phone vibrating with a text and glanced down shaking her head. [i]Speak of the lumberjacking devil[/i]. With a light sigh, she glanced back at Sio getting ready to leave. “That’s fine, I’m off for a day or so,” She said. “Think I might go get my car fixed.”

When Sio was out of sight she texted Milo back:

[i][b]I went to work and they sent me home…[/b][/i] She texted back and inserted an emoji icon of a tired face, something she rarely ever did… [i][b]I feel like I got hit by a truck[/b][/i]
