scene: amancay in the driver's seat, vande #2 in the passenger seat, and #3 seated directly behind her; driving across the bridge, on their way home.
glancing at the clock she sees the bright lcd read out before her 11:27. almost grumbly within, she finds herself mumbling, 'where is he?'
no sooner had the mumble made its way across her pursed lips, the phone rang. inner, almost outward, excitement ensued... as the caller wished her & the backseat passenger a 'happy birthday'.
