Lisa scurried down the steps to the bedroom feeling a little sorry for whomever was on the other end of that call.
She quickly demolished the bread and grapes even before she finished half a glass of wine. She pulled out her own cell phone and started to dial Sara Beth twice.
But she didn’t want to burden her friend with foolishly panicked calls.

Particularly when Lisa suspected that Sara Beth was already concerned.
