The Phone in Her Hand

Mia sits on the bus with her phone in her hand.

She looks at photos of her friends at a party.

They are laughing, but Mia is not there.

She feels a little lonely.

At home, she writes a message to her friend Anna.

Anna answers after two hours.

Mia waits and watches the screen.

Then she puts the phone down and calls her sister.

They talk about their day for ten minutes.

Mia smiles because a real voice feels warm.

After that, she leaves the phone on the table and goes for a walk.
