Claudia wasted no time and dialed her up. “When's your flight? Didn't you say you were leaving in a few days?"

“I'm heading to the airport now. Don't bother coming over."

Claudia scrunched her brows. “How could you spring this on me Like this, Aurora?"

“Why? I'll be back for Christmas. I just didn't want to trouble you with the farewell. Plus, it's my first gig in a new city. I'm nervous as heck."

After a pause, Claudia sighed. “Okay, fingers crossed everything goes smoothly. Give me a shout once you're there."
