When the phone went off, Chris stiffened slightly and he hoped that April didn't hear it even though he had only set it on vibrate.  However, when April suddenly stopped talking and walked away from him, Chris realized that it was a futile hope.  He looked down at his pocket and then at April's retreating form as she sped on ahead.  He wanted to pick up the phone to see who it was, but knew it was most likely his friend calling again to see if he wanted in for the day's betting.  The vibrating phone was as loud as rumbling thunder as it urged him to pick it up.  Chris slowly trod after April, his movement slowed down by the ongoing conflict in his mind.  His hand unconsciously began to slowly reach into his pocket to grip his phone.<br/><br/>~~~<br/><br/>Simon took a deep breath as he took a moment to rest and idly stretch his arms.  He hadn't been in this park before, but it was definitely a step up from the places where he usually ran in.  With a hand, he idly wiped away the sweat from his brow as he surveyed the path.  There were a few people also jogging on this fine Sunday morning which wasn't terribly surprising.  Good weather always brought out the fitness inclined.  However, there was little time to dilly-dally and Simon stepped back onto the path and began jogging.  As he headed around the next curve, he noticed a very familiar face heading towards him.  Simon smiled, this was a sign from providence and he was not one to waste opportunities.<br/><br/>Simon jogged for a bit until they were side by side before making a u-turn to jog next to April.  He smiled at April, "Nice day outside for a jog, love."
