Sorry for Hanging up on You
Aurora had just recovered from a serious illness and was sleeping like a log. When she woke up, it was already past nine in the morning.
Her stomach was growling, so after a quick wash-up, she headed downstairs for breakfast.Before she even reached the bottom of the stairs, she heard her grandfather's laughter. Curious, Aurora descended to see who had put him in such a good mood.Just as she stepped off the stairs, she heard a familiar, deep voice.

If we don't go down soon, your grandpa might think I'm up to no good."Aurora glared at him with red eyes, washed her face, and as she was drying it, Heath said, "I have a flight to X City at 1 PM."Her face buried in the towel, Aurora mumbled, "Got it."
