Holiday Considerations

"The past twenty hours!" Zachary exclaimed while stealing a peek at his phone's screen. He couldn't help but break out in cold sweat when he noticed that it was already Friday, 20th of December 2013.

"Are you still there, Zach?" Camilla's voice sounded from the phone speakers once again. "Are you doing okay?"

"Yes, I'm okay, Camilla," Zachary hurriedly replied after casting away the irrelevant thoughts from his mind.

"So, what happened? Why haven't you been picking up your phone since yesterday? You had me worried."

"Sorry," Zachary said, taking a moment to organize his words. "You know me when I'm training. I had put my phone in silent mode while exercising yesterday evening. I ended up forgetting about it, and that's why didn't notice your calls."
