Terse Smile

As she was reading through her revision notes, Abigail was disturbed by her mobile ringing.  Looking at the caller ID, she quickly answered it turning on the camera, as it was a video call.

"Grandmother.  Are you alright?  You usually do not video call me."

"Darling, calm down.  I know from Sam with your examinations next week that you are going to be very busy, and I just wanted to see your face while I talked to you, while not bothering you to come and see me."

Abigail laughed and said, "So how did you master making a video call?"

"Sam of course.  That girl is so good to me, and with her boyfriend they showed me how to make a video call and wrote it down for me in case I forgot."

Shaking her head Abigail responded, "And you could not ask me?"

"Darling, you are so busy with school and everything else."

"Never too busy to help you grandmother.  You know all you need to do is ask and I will be there as quick as I can."
