"Hey, handsome! Where you at?"
He laughed. "Hey, babe. Just made it into Dallas."
"Ooh, Dallas! I hope you're being good, cowboy."
"Yes ma'am, I am. I won't be bad until I get home."
"Oh, my! Any idea when that'll be?"
"Hmm, sometime between 10 and 11. Don't plan on sleeping tonight, cowgirl."
She giggled as they hung up.
*9:37 pm. Single vehicle accident. Apparent heart attack. Driver was D.O.A.*
She didn't sleep that night, as he'd told her. Nor would she sleep through her nights ever again.
