The World Will Never Take My Heart part 14

Ray told Christa my name. Then there was a long pause. The look on Rays face wasn't too hopeful. "Okay," He finally said. "See ya soon. Love you too. Bye." He closed his phone.
"Well," I said trying ot be hopeful.
"She said to give her some time to think about it. I'm going to call her again later. Try to explain the circumstances a little more." He said.
I lowered my head in defeat.
"Hey, don't be so bummed. I'm sure she'll say yes once she knows more about you." Ray put an arm around me in comfort.
"Yeah," I said, "But what if I talked to her? Like right now."
"If you think it'd help, here." Frank handed me his phone. "You can use my phone." Ray told me Christa's number, and I dialed it in on Frank's cell. I hit the call button with caution
