Phone Call to Roxie

Joe stepped outside and called his parents first, letting them know what was going on. He asked them to be extremely careful. Dad asked if he needed help and Joe declined, saying that he was on the case and had it under control. Moreover, he didn't want his parents cleaning up his messes. They didn't sound happy about it, but they respected his wishes.

Once he hung up with them, he dialed Roxanne's cellphone. He was surprised at how much he missed her and how often he'd been thinking of her during the drive already. When this was over, he'd see her again and then they'd talk about a few things, if they were both ready.

He waited for her to answer and hoped she was all right.

"Same here, beautiful. Same here." Joe said.

"I'm gonna get back to work, but can I call you again soon?" he asked.

Beautiful.

She couldn't hold back the decidedly dopey grin that shone back at her from her reflection.

"The sooner you get to work, the sooner you're finished," she confirmed. "But yeah. Call me anytime." Because unless she was in the middle of another dragon attack, she'd definitely answer.

"Looking forward to it." Joe grinned. "See you soon, Roxanne."

And then the call was over.
