Yet, a shift occurred when Elena's response took on a nonchalant tone, sparking a sense of urgency in Leon. Dialing her number, he anxiously awaited her response, but when Elena finally answered, a subtle irritation laced her words.
"Hello," she greeted, her voice tinged with annoyance.

"Why did you take so long to answer the phone? Were you talking to one of those boys?" Leon inquired, a tinge of irritation in his voice.
"Are you being serious right now?" she shot back.
"I am indeed serious. Please, enlighten me," he affirmed.
