Skye Brown froze for two seconds, unsure whether to answer the phone.
Obviously, when a child is missing, you have to inform the parent; otherwise, how worried would the child's family be?
But Skye really didn't want to pick up Dylan Wellington's call, didn't want to hear his voice, and certainly didn't want that deep, magnetic, and nostalgia-laden voice to ring right next to her ear.
Yes, Skye admitted she was cowardly.
Her outward strength couldn't mask the sadness of the memories, which is why she'd always strictly avoided thinking about, looking at, or listening to anything related to Dylan Wellington.
Just because she wasn't sure when she heard news about him again if her long-buried heart would remain untouched.
The call didn't last long.
Perhaps the previous 100 missed calls had already told Dylan that no one would pick up, so after a few rings, he hung up.
This meant Skye no longer had to face the dilemma of whether to answer the call or not.
