"How do you... It's..."
"Impossible? Nothing is impossible when patience. Good things awaits those who persevere", she tapson what it seems a gallery app. You swear to heavens you can't figure out how she does this. "Here!", judging by what you can (barely) see on the photos, these are some old photos of people on many roadtrips and outdoor live shows. Everything was colourful and everyone seemed happy and carefree. "That's me when a kid and these are my parents. Being a homeschooled hippie kid had your advantages, y'know?"
You feel that energy detaching from you and focusing on the phone for a few seconds. Her eyes filled with longing. Music stops. The band say some words and music restart.
"Sorry. What were we talking?"
"Travels and my friend"
"Yes!", her energy rebuilds little by little. Oh boy, here it comes... "Company pays for everyone's travel. Many times our work needs to be done abroad."
"Why?"
"Chicago isn't only place who needs our help."
"And what's happening in Scotland?"
"British Isles in general."
"Erm... What's happening in British Isles?"
"Last time, James travel to help on business of historical preservation and debts"
"James? Real? My homeboy James?", you are startled. Is he that smart?
"Your homeboyfriend James, indeed, sir!", she jokes and start to scroll again through her gallery. "He sent us some nice pictures"
"He never send me those"
"But I know he spends a lot on gifts for you"
"I didn't mean-- You're joking again?"
"You're getting smarter now.", she smiles. "His last travel to Brú na Bóinne was beautiful! That little fucker fuckery fuckdiy got this chance and travelled all over the place for almost two weeks after finishing the job!"
"So that's why one month away...", you look a few photos with Kimberly and those are breathtaking. Beautiful sights, some food pics... But what peeks your attention is what you judge to be his work: Detailed pics from ruins, old objects, meetings with people in nice clothes (Academics? Politicians?) and you can even see some documents. You can read 'cause of fucking broken screen. But you see a variety of new and old documents, some without notaries certificate marks, some probably historical documents and so on. Kimberly seems to not notice you were paying attention as she scrolls and talks more about travelling abroud.
But everything stops the moment Kimberly shows a photo you weren't expecting: James on a lake, all wet and smiley, and possibly taking a bath, in the middle of the day. Is that castle afar the Loch Ness castle? Was he in fucking Loch Ness lake? And thanks to screen cracks, you can't see if he was completly naked or not. But you swear to heavens it's more possible the first option.
"Oops!", her face blushes a bitand and a nervous laugh tries to stifle the situation. "That wasn't what I..."
"Nice joke, Kimberly", you try to go with her on that.
