Chloe stared at the offending device in her hand. She hadn't planned on using her cell phone much this week but she at least wanted to check in with her parents so they wouldn't worry. As much as they butted heads, she didn't wish that sort of stress upon them. Holding up her phone, she walked around her campsite a bit to see if she couldn't get a signal to one side of the trees or the other. She knew she probably looked like a fool but then again there really wasn't anyone directly across from her so it didn't really matter. Unfortunately however it was all for a lost cause.

With a sigh, Chloe finally let her tired arm drop to her side and looked over at the pond. It was a more open space and the hill beyond might provide for a better signal. Her mind made up, Chloe left her campsite and started the short walk over to the pond. She checked her phone a few times on the way but then gave up when that didn't yield a different result and simply held it in her grasp as she walked along the dirt road that connected the plots in this area. 'Patience Chloe, patience...' She wasn't usually an impatient person but the sooner she was able to connect with her parents, the sooner she could forget about them and get back to enjoying her vacation.

When she finally reached the edge of the water, Chloe resisted the urge to look up at Darius' campsite and instead pulled out her phone and checked it once more but the display still read "searching". With a sigh, she began to scale the hill. It only took a few moments but the results were the same. Sighing again, Chloe finally looked over to the tent popped a short way off. Maybe Darius had a different carrier that could get signal in this area? She hated to ask him for help but the only other option was the long walk back to the station house. While that wouldn't be too terrible, Darius was obviously the easier option at the moment and it couldn't hurt to ask while she was here, right?

Walking back around, Chloe approached Darius' campsite. She raised her hand as if to wave at him but paused mid-action when she noticed the way he was reclined with his eyes closed. Was he sleeping? Chloe studied his face carefully since the first time they had met. Damn but he was cute! It made her insides squirm uncomfortably. She watched him for a few moments longer and decided that he must be napping which simultaneously made her feel both disappointed and relieved. Not wanting to wake him, Chloe turned around to walk back down the hill.
