164 MABEL

Isabella looked over at Luke, who was sound asleep. She got up from the bed quietly and snuck out of the room. She stepped out on the veranda and dialed Mabel's number. "Hi, Mabel." "Who is this?" She sounded like she had just woken up from sleep. "It's Isabella, sorry for waking you but this was the only time I could call you without Luke knowing." "Isabella, it's okay. What's up?" "It's about the priest. Would you mind taking me there today?" "I take it your husband didn't listen to you." "He didn't believe me, but I'm sure if everything works out, he would." "Okay then. Meet me at the beach by 5 pm, don't be late." "Isn't that kind of late? Can't we go earlier?" "Look, that's the only time I'm free." "It's okay, I'll meet you at that time. Thank you, Mabel." "Don't mention it." "Who are you talking to?" Luke said from behind me. I hung up the call immediately. "Madison, we were making plans for this evening." He yawned and moved closer to me, "At 6 in the morning."
