Cream and Sugar novel

---- Cammie Hughston'. Well, all right, I thought, at least now I know her full name. Out of impulse, and I hoped to god she found this normal, I pressed the call button. It rang a few times, and somewhere along those rings I thought of dropping it off, but she picked up eventually. "Hello?" Her voice still sounds sweet over the phone. "Ah, hey, Cammie. It's me, Gail." I heard her breathing a breath of relief. "Gail! I'm a little relieved that you called." She was relieved?

"W-why," I started to stutter, "what's the matter?" From the other end, I started to hear a light knocking and knob turning. "Well, I forgot my key inside the apartment. And my roommate seems to have gone off somewhere..." Her voice trails off, I presume she was thinking of another way in. "Uhm, what about your landlord, surely he-or she, must have a master key to your apartment." It took a few moments before she spoke again, "I've tried that. The man's not in either.

Just my dumb luck, I guess." Inside my head, I went back and forth in offering her my help, but I just didn't think it was necessary. What do you mean it's not necessary ? She might not have ---- anywhere else to stay! "Uhm, well, why don't you wait for me? I'm coming back." "Hey, you know, you really don't have to do that." Cameron says. "No, | insist. I'll be there in a few minutes. The least I could do is help." She paused for a second and then she finally agreed with a light chuckle.
