"Ro!" The sound of his voice caught her attention and she smiled, her voice warming to a cheerful tone instead of the scolding one she'd had for the cat. "No, no it's not to late. I've told you I don't care about the time."
And then she did shove the cat off her bed. A loud thump and then a plaintive mew followed by a sharp hiss could be heard before Tiberius fled further abuse. "Rotten, nasty..." Pippa muttered under her breath before smiling again. It was almost easy to let herself pretend that nothing were amiss and that Rory calling her wasn't enough to put her stomach in knots. He got her gift. That also meant he got her letter, the one she wrote and rewrote to carefully leave out anything she really wanted to say to him.
"I'm glad it got there to you all right. And quickly. I never know with international mail..." She paused, licked her lips. Why was she nervous? Only because it always felt as if everything were riding on her next words during these phone calls. "I hope you don't mind me sending it to you." Do you like it?
