After staying up way too late at Jarod's
birthday party, Isabel had planned on sleeping in. The ringing phone had other ideas.
"Hello?"
"Oh hi mom."
"Yes, I was. There was a big birthday party for my friend's boyfriend last night. I was out late."
"No, I do not make a habit of it."
"Mom, come on. It's summer. We're supposed to have fun."
"I promise."
"You did? When? For how long?"
"Okay. I'll be there."
"I know, I miss you all to."
"Love you to. I will. Bye."
Isabel closed the phone and climbed back into bed. Somehow she didn't think she was going to get back to sleep.
