Aurelia Jaxson spent the whole afternoon snuggling me in bed, and it was really nice. I needed that more than I realized. His presence alone was soothing and helped me overcome my anxiety. Now, he was taking me to his office to call Cassidy. The guys had gotten me a cellphone, but we didn't have great service where we lived, so it was better to use the landline. We mainly used our cell phones when we went into the city. When we reached the office, Jaxson moved behind the desk, picked up the phone, and dialed a number before bringing it to his ear. I stood beside him, my anticipation growing as I waited to speak with Cassidy. I could hear the phone ringing through the receiver before a deep male voice answered, "Grayson speaking." "Hey buddy, it's me, Jaxson," Jaxson replied.
