Life Without You

Everly called. She asked Maverick, "Are you busy now?"

Maverick's voice was gentle. He replied, "Honey, as long as I answer your call, it means I have time."

Everly was stunned. She was happy. Everly could not help but laugh at first.

The wind at night was like a lover's kiss. It was so light and soft.

Everly said in a soft voice, "I just came out of Beth's home. She's at home. She's just addicted to decoding and writing programs. Because of that, Beth forgot what happened outside. Tell Lawrence to rest assured that Beth didn't miss. What Lawrence had to do is to wait at home for Beth to come back."

Everly knew what Maverick wanted to hide. However, she just didn't say it. Now that Everly said it in a joking tone, both of them understood and smiled.

Maverick was silent for a few seconds.

Maverick thought, 'What was Lawrence doing? How couldn't he know where his woman was?'
