Grab your phone.

You pick up your phone and quickly answer it upon seeing Rebecca's name on the screen.

"Hi honey," you say, trying to conceal your lack of breath. "What's up?"

"Where are you?" Rebecca asks, with a hint of confusion. "It sounds so weird."

"Just in the toilet," you reply, which is actually completely truthful. Exactly where that toilet is, she doesn't need to know.

"Eww you're so gross sometimes sweetie," she laughs, "Anyway, I was wondering what time you're going to be home?"

You look down at Gemma, looking a little sorry for herself, and contemplate your answer.
