Aiden caught the compliment that Sage slipped in. He thought it was one at least. Maybe the future wouldn’t be too bad after all. He was all smiles when Sage said his goodbyes.
“I’m very much looking forward to tonight, Sage. Take care of yourself for the next few hours, I’d hate for something to happen to you before I got the chance to see the non-digital you.”
With a sigh of relief, Aiden was finally able to remove the headset. The digital world was replaced by the real world and Aiden wasn’t shocked to see little difference between the two. Lasher was sitting at his feet, looking up at him with a question behind his eyes.
“No, I’m not crazy, Lash. Daddy just made a new friend,” Aiden said as he ruffled the dog’s head. His cellphone was plastered to his ear a second later.
“Yeah, Dimitri? I need you to come over. Well tell her your boss needs you. Yes, it’s very important…” and on he went, his voice echoing down the hall and throughout the half-built house.
