The Taste of a Long-Distance Relationship

"Well, did you just finish the meeting?"

Serina rubbed her eyes with a little hoarse voice.

"Since you're already asleep, then sleep well."

"Don't! Don't hang up!" Serina sat up and was in high spirits.

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing, just ..."

Serina's little face suddenly turned red, "I just missed you."

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the line. What Serina could not see was that Derek laughed happily.

"I'll go and find you now." After a long time, Derek finally spoke.

"Hey, don't. It's late. I'm not in City Z. I'm in my mom's home."

"Oh."

"My mom won't let me go back. I will be back to the crew in two days."

"I will visit you when I have the time."

Derek would visit Serina just like the last time.

"Are you always busy until this late at night? Now ..." Serina looked at the time displayed on her phone, "12:30."

"That's alright."

"It's quite difficult to meet you. You don't pick up when I call you."

"Hayden will pick it up and tell me."
