Valentine was going as fast she thought she could without getting pulled over or putting herself and her sister at risk. Her stomach was all tied up in knots as she took the chance to glance over at her sister.
"It's gonna be okay, y'know?" she offered her sister a corner o' the mouth smile, gesturing with her head to Mel's lap where she'd left her purse containing her sister's cellphone. The fact of the matter was that if she called Apollo with hers, there was only a 30-40% chance he'd pick up. "Do you want to give him a call?"
Want? Not really. She wanted to be curled up in a corner and waiting for the day to disappear. She wanted to be enjoying her daughter's birthday. But the Fates seemed to have their own ideas. She glanced at her sister as if to see if she was serious before digging for her own phone. "He might be at home..." she muttered as she stared at it, debating calling or not.
"He can pick up his cellphone if he's at home just the same as if he's out," Val replied, taking another quick peek at her sister. She was just staring at the phone! "Give it to me. I'll call him..." She held her hand out.
"You're driving," Mel pointed out, keeping the phone in her hand. "It'd be distracting for you."
"Yeah, well, if he doesn't know we're coming before we get there, he's not going to be happy," Val pointed out, still keeping her hand out for the phone. "And you're not making the call..."
The muse of tragedy considered for a few moments more. He might be mad to be bothered no matter what, and she wasn't sure if it would be better for him to yell at her, or her sister. ".... I'll call." Punching in his number from memory, she held the phone to her ear as it started to ring.
