Cliff answered, “It's me.”
Her heart raced faster, forcing her to hurriedly end the call and sit up straight. “Cin.”
Cliff walked in, sweeping his eyes across the room before observing her face. “Why do you look so anxious?”
Laney gave a dry chuckle. “I'm not.”
Laney quickly checked her phone to make sure the call had indeed ended.

Cliff responded calmly, “I won't attend. Just a reminder that you have less than two months to prepare. Once
your foot is better, concentrate on your rehearsals. Avoid sending unnecessary messages that could distract
you.”
Laney was confused. “What did | send?”
Cliff chose not to explain. He believed that giving too much detail was invasive, yet not mentioning it at all left
him somewhat frustrated. “Just a reminder.” Cliff then shifted the topic. “Kira’s foot injury isn’t much better than
yours. Did you do that?”
Laney couldn't bring herself to lie and responded gloomily, “Yes.”
