Jessica was inspecting the emergency phone, her face a mixture of worry and annoyance. He observed her, the slight furrow of her brow, the way she bit her lip. He felt giddy.

"Well, this is just peachy," she muttered. He just let out a laugh, unable to restrain himself.

He sank to the floor, leaning against the wall. The world had just stopped for him. He'd never forget this. It was… magnificent.
