Henry had just finished having dinner and was about to go upstairs to freshen up when his phone started to ring. It was his best friend.
“Hey, Bryan. What’s up?” He greeted in a cheerful voice while unbuttoning his shirt.
“Nothing much. Are you home?” Bryan replied at the other end.
“Yeah.. I got back a while ago”
“And Amy?”
“Amy’s at her best friend’s place. She decided to stay a little longer”
“Oh”
“Is there a problem?” Henry asked in concern.
“None at all… I just thought you both will see the surprise together”
“What surprise?” Henry sat on his bed, his complete attention now on the phone call.
“If I tell you, then it’s no longer a surprise” Bryan could tell from Henry’s voice that he was eager to hear the details.
“You know I’m not good at surprises. That’s Amy’s thing”
“Don’t worry. You’ll know what it is soon enough” The line went dead after that, confusing Henry all the more.
