Helena woke up to the loud buzzing sound of her house’s intercom system. She rose from bed sleepily and dragged her feet down the hallway to the intercom phone.

“ One minute. “ Helena mumbled lazily.

“ Hurry up, Helena! “ the voice replied.

Immediately, Helena recognized the voice. It was Alice. Helena let Alice in.

“ Good morning! “ Alice greeted chirpily.

“ Hey Alice. “

“ Make yourself comfortable, I’m going to go brush my teeth okay. “ Helena continued.

“ Okay. Make it quick okay, I want to hear all about Ashlee. “ Alice laughed.

After brushing her teeth and washing up, Helena headed to the poolside to look for Alice. Just then, her cellphone rang. Helena looked at the screen of her cellphone and saw that it was Ashlee calling. She was thrilled to hear from Ashlee.

“ Good morning. “ Ashlee greeted warmly.

“ Good morning. “ Helena responded, feeling elated to hear Ashlee’s voice.

“ Hey Helena, I think I left my watch by your poolside, could you look for it please? “

“ Yeah, hang on a minute. “ Helena replied as she made her way to the pool deck.

“ Who are you talking to on the phone? Is it Ashlee? “ Alice asked teasingly, emphasizing on the name Ashlee.

Helena ignored her friend as she continued to look around for the watch.

“ Yeah, I found it. “ Helena said, while bending over to pick up the watch.

“ Great, can I swing by in awhile to collect it okay? And is Alice there? “ Ashlee asked politely.

“ Yeah, she’s here. And yes, you can swing by. We’ll be at the backyard so you can come by the back gate. “ Helena continued.

“  Alright, see you then. And tell Alice, I said hi. “

“ Alice, Ashlee says hi. “ Helena shouted then turn to her phone again, “ See you then. “ And then, their phone conversation ended.

“ So. It was Ashlee huh. “ Alice laughed.

“ Yes Alice, it was Ashlee. “ Helena said.

“ I seeeee. So how did things go yesterday? “ Alice asked.
