The Love Chromosome

I woke up one morning an hour before my alarm was supposed to go off to my phone ringing. An unknown number showed on the screen, so I threw it on the floor, tucked the covers over my head, and drifted back to sleep. Only a few minutes later, the number tried again. With an irritated grumble, I rolled out of bed like a whale out of water and curled up face first on the floor before answering.
