No More Hide-And-Seek.

After eating, Bryan returned to bed and dozed off while waiting for Sonia's editor to contact him. He slept soundly for some hours until the insistent sound of his ringing phone roused him from his midday slumber. He placed his pillow over his head to block off the sound, but each time the call ended, the phone started ringing again, until he had no other choice but to reach for it to see the identity of the person who was bent on disturbing his sleep. 

"Are you calling to tell me you have found her?" Bryan asked sleepily, hoping she had disturbed his sleep for something important. As that was the only thing that was important to him at the moment.

"No. But..."

Without saying another word, Bryan hung up and placed his phone on airplane mode before returning to sleep. He didn't want to think or talk about anything else until he was clear-headed.
