He’d been calling all evening, because he felt awful about not being able to go with her to the mountains and just wanted her to know so. But his dad had said he was sorry Britt had to cancel on Michelle, and to make it up to him had decided to run the parts himself for Saturday’s deliveries, leaving Britt free to make the trip after all. Better late than never. He’d been trying to reach Michelle ever since to let her know he was coming out there. It was odd. Usually she answered on the first ring, practically singing Hello into the phone. Britt had assumed her reception wasn’t the greatest where she was, so he’d kept trying, taking turns calling her cell phone and then the number to the cabin. Finally, he gave up and called her parents for directions. He’d decided to stop calling and just surprise her tomorrow. He could already see the smile on her face as he lay back in his bed. This was probably the sweetest thing he’d ever done. Their relationship was essentially a good one, although he knew they disagreed when it came to sex.
