Most of Kugy’s family was gathered in front of the TV. The rest had made plans to ring in the New Year elsewhere. Kugy hadn’t received any invitations, but she couldn’t be bothered to go out, anyway. She was perfectly happy sitting on the sofa with her feet up, eating snacks and providing commentary on what was on the screen as she chuckled to herself.

Suddenly Kugy sat up. “Did my cell phone ring?”

“No. It’s just the TV,” said Kevin.

“Where is my cell phone?” Kugy began rummaging around under the sofa cushions. “Kev, stand up for a bit.” Kugy gave her older brother a shove. “I think you’re sitting on it.”

“No way!” Kevin exclaimed, eyes still glued to the screen. “My butt is very sensitive. I’d be able to tell if there was something wedged underneath it.”

But Kugy didn’t give up. She kept shoving at Kevin, searching the nooks and crannies of the sofa.

“Kugy, come on!” Kevin complained. “Stop poking around like that. You’re such a pain!”

“Ha! What’s this?” Kugy said holding up her phone. “So much for sensitivity! You should go on a diet. Maybe your butt will be able to feel something then!” Immediately, Kugy checked to see who had called.

She frowned. She didn’t recognize the number. And yet, she continued to stare at it. There was something about that number. Kugy sent a text message: Who is this?

An hour passed. There was no reply.
