"The number you have reached is no longer in service."
"No longer in service?" She put the receiver down stunned.Her furniture was coming from cross country and should have been there by now.
Her mind was going a mile a minute with worry.
A little later, she looked out the window and saw a moving truck coming.
She went out the front door as it stopped in front. The driver got out.
"Sorry we're late; bad weather."
"Did you know your phone is out of service?"
"We'll get your things moved in first and then I'll check on it."
"Go right ahead," and she sighed with relief.

This very thing happened to my neighbor. What a scary thing to feel. I am sure her heart dropped down into her stomach!~Ames
that would worry me too Good thing they showed up
Nicely done, Viki.
the story if they didnt come would have another set of complexities
nice Centus
So true to life Viki...Great job !
One time, we got orders to Illinois and then they were canceled and new orders were given to Virginia instead AFTER our moving truck had been gone a couple of days. Having moved many times, reading this I got a hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach, just like back then, not knowing where the heck our stuff was. Glad it all worked out in your story !
I'm relieved for her. Great job taking us on a mini-emotional rollercoaster.
