Naoki twirled Io's phone by the charm, debated whether or not to bring it to her at work. If he did, he'd have to wake up Tokine, dress her properly, and take her with him. He looked over at her sleeping form, curled up on the other end of the couch .She was still in her pajamas from this morning and he didn't quite like the idea of wrestling her into something else.
BUZZBUZZ
Naoki almost threw the phone across the room. In his mini panic, he managed to push the button that opened Io's new message. When he looked down at the screen, he couldn't help but read the message. miss I would understand.
"Hay its sky. we r meeting @ the daily grind tomorrow for lunch. noon sound fine? we just need 2 talk about what we r doing. fwd this to others u think might want to leave."
Naoki read the text twice, just to be sure he'd memorized it, then closed the box, set the phone down and settled back into the comfortable couch. Io would be fine without it for the next hour.
…
The morning after Naoki showed her the text message, Io was itching to meet sky and discuss what would happen next. When the time finally came, she dressed, got into her car and sped off down the street, leaving her daughter once again in the hands of the lynx halter she'd come to trust so much. On her way to the meeting place she picked up Kasumi and Tamotsu, not wanting them to get left behind.
