I woke up feeling like a mess and my head was pounding. I had another one of these near comma sleeps where my limbs were heavy and numb. As I wiped away the little sleep drool of the corner of my mouth, I grabbed my phone from my nightstand, which was buzzing like crazy, threatening to fall off any second.

As my eyes were still crusty, I dared not to open them fully and answered instantly.

"Hello?" I was a bit ashamed by how horse my sleep voice sounded and cleared it two times.

The other end was silent for a couple of seconds, and I wondered if I made them uncomfortable with my dragon voice.

"Oh, hi there Caro, It's me, Jackie" she said in a cheerful voice.

It took me a little to realize who I was talking to and the moment I did, my heart fluttered with joy.

"Hiiiii Jackie" I managed with a normal voice "I'm so happy to hear you, what's up?"

She paused ever so slightly as if debating and then asked:

"Caro, could you stop by my office today? I want to talk to you if that's ok"

"Oh" I mustered "Let me check my schedule, as I might be full today" I said in a serious tone and proceeded to make weird noises, trying to mimic pages turning in a planner.

"Ah, nope, that was planned for next week, it seems I'm free today"

I half expected her to think I'm weird and call off the meeting, but she giggled and replied:

"That actually sounded more like a wet mop on the floor, but I'll take it, see you at 1:30 pm? I work in the Brent and Parks building up Main Steet. We can grab lunch after, I know a good spot"

After ending the call, I got up and checked my phone. 10:26 AM, I still had lots of time for getting ready, so I decided on a pampering session. Jackie looks amazing and if we will grab lunch after, I better look presentable.
