Friday, May 7th – 5:00 AM.
I woke up to a ringing phone, I blinked, my eyes adjusting to the dark room.
Beside me, Charlotte stirred, her bare shoulder slipping out from under the sheets, she mumbled something before turning away from the noise.
I reached for my phone on the nightstand and quickly answered before it could wake her.
Slipping out of bed, I moved quietly, stepping into the hallway and shutting the door behind me. The house was still. I made my way to my office, rubbing my face as I sat down in my chair.
I checked the screen. Raegan Lee.
I sighed and answered. "It's 5 AM, Raegan..."
"Ah, fuck, man. I forgot about the time difference again."
I smirked. "No, you didn't. You do this on purpose."
"Maybe," he admitted, laughing a little. "Anyway, it's good to hear you. You up?"
"Well, I am now," I said, leaning back in my chair. "What's up?"
"I've just finalized the proposal with Appaloosa's team."
