It wasn't a call, but a message from Moran in their four-person group chat.
Moran had tagged everyone. [Alright, people, spill. What's the plan for tonight? Are we doing something?]
Granger's reply was almost instant: [No plans. What do you have in mind?]
Moran: [That's what I like to hear!]
He then tagged the other two. [Thorne, Vesta, what about you guys?]
Vesta saw the message but didn't reply immediately, waiting to see what Thorne would say.
Thorne read the chat, then typed out a response: [I'm at the Ross family's place for dinner right now. Not sure about tonight, it depends on what Minnie wants to do.]
As soon as the message sent, both Granger and Vesta stared at their screens, stunned. They never would have imagined Thorne spending Christmas at the Ross house.
Moran's reaction was a string of question marks and exclamation points. [WTF! Wait, you're at the Ross family's place? Right now?]
Thorne: [Yeah.]
Moran: [...]
Before Moran could formulate another thought, Thorne sent another message: [We're still eating, so I can't chat. Have fun, you guys.]
