The microSD Jake randomly gets her for her phone one day contains exactly one file: an irredeemably annoying song that Bella deletes, leaves in her laptop's bin for less than ten minutes before rescuing it, and grudgingly proceeds to set as her morning alarm.
For a solid week, she wakes up furious enough to throw her phone to the floor the moment it starts blaring the music, but the Nokia is even more stubborn than Bella, so by the second week, her anger has simmered down to indignant irritation that at least makes her feel something other than achingly hollow.
Three weeks in, after she's started letting the song play through to the end, Jake catches her tapping the melody on her thigh with a wrench, and his answering grin is bright enough to make the whole thing worth it.
