Luke ended the call before I could get in another word. I looked down at my list of names and put a big circle around Luke and Taylor.
The final peopleI needed to check on were my parents, and with all the hounding I had been doing over the last two weeks, I prayed they would be ready to go, and heading to bed soon.
“Mom? Mom? Hello? Can you hear me?”
“Skye?”
“Yes, Mom, it’s Skye. Can you hear me?”
“I can hear you. Can you hear me?”
“Yes, I can hear you just fine.”
“Oh, why did you say you couldn’t hear me?”
“I didn’t.”
“Are you sure?”
“Positive.”
“How are you, sweetheart? Did you have a nice day at work?”
“It was fine, thanks. I’m just calling to make sure you and Dad are ready to go.”
“Of course we are. We were ready a week ago, just like you told us to be.”
“That’s great. You have your boarding passes and passports?”
“Yes, well…they were just here.”
I sighed and shook my head.
“Brent, where are the passports?”
“The what?” I heard my dad call from the other side of the house.
“The passports!”
“I don’t know!”
“I gave them to you.”
“You did? Where are they?”
“That’s what I want to know!”
“Mom. Mom!” I shouted into my phone.
“Oh, sorry, sweetie, I just don’t remember where I put them.”
“You need to find them before you go to bed, okay? Your ride is picking you up at 10 AM.”
“I know, dear. I’ll find them before then.”
“Alright, see you tomorrow.”
“I love you! Sleep tight!”
