Chapter 107: Your What If

I watch as my phone is persistently lighting up with Isabella's name. There is the biggest desire to just ignore her and pretend that she never called. But she has phone three times now, and it does have me rather concerned.

So as I watch Caylee disappear down the camp, I swipe up and take Isabella's call.

"Hey, Isabella."

"Hey, Clayton. I did not think that you would answer."

"Well, you did phone three times, so I thought that it would be pretty pointless ignoring you." 

I hear as she bursts out laughing. Now, that is a sound that I have not heard in a while. I can only imagine how she is holding her chest as the laughter started rumbling from deep in her belly. She always did know how to brighten one's day with one of those deep heartfelt displays of complete happiness.
