Eldon's phone ringing startled him awake.
"Wha—?" He rubbed his eyes and sat up. Mandy groaned and rolled away from him, but Shlee whimpered and cuddled up closer. They were together on the floor at the foot of the bed. Sonia and Shelly were near the front of the car, by the fountain. His mom and dad had the bed and didn't seem to notice Eldon's phone ringing.
By the time he pulled it from the glove compartment where he'd placed it after calling the president yesterday, he'd missed the call. He didn't recognize the number. He put the phone back, and turned back to his girlfriends when it dinged to let him know he had a voicemail.
