He was talking, softly, urgently, into his phone. Elena stood rooted, her own tiredness forgotten. The words were indistinct, but the tone, the sheer intensity, was unmistakable. He saw her then, and abruptly ended the call, his cheeks flushing. The hollowness she felt inside threatened to swallow her whole.
