[ SMS –> Jo : 2:03am ] Where are you?
[ SMS –> Jo : 2:03am ] Are you in Atlanta?
[ SMS –> Jo : 2:04am ] I think there’s someone in my house.Jo stared at the phone, a grin tugging at her lips. She’d been out of town for a week and had wanted to surprise him with a nice meal at the end of his shift, but she apparently hadn’t been quite as sneaky as she’d thought she was being.
[SMS -> Tom : 2:04am ] why don’t you come inside and see 😉
It was late, and Tom had stayed at work late because of a 12-car pileup toward the end of his shift. He’d pulled into his driveway to see a light on in the house; a light that wasn’t on when he left for work earlier that day. He panicked and texted Jo, and frantically checked his phone when she texted back. A smile spread across his face at her text, and he grabbed his things and made his way inside.
“Jo? Hello?” He called out as he cracked the door open, still on edge from work.
