Challenge

Ella could feel her heart thumping erratically as she watched her phone ringing for the second time.

Her eyes narrowed and slightly darkened as she focused them on her nosily ringing mobile phone resting on her desk.

Her head was filled with so many processing thoughts that were popping out scary answers.

One of the most terrifying questions of them all was; 'where did Leon spend the night?'

Even when she wanted to go over to her desk and receive the call, her feet refused to cooperate with the instructions of her brain.

It felt as though her feet were on a solo protest as they remained glued to the ground.

"Ella, you need to receive your husband's call," Denise said softly.

Although Denise was standing next to her, Ella felt as though Denise was a mile away. She could see her mouth moving but her words were very faint and difficult for her to understand.

"I can't believe Leon left the house with his stuff," Ella reiterated.
