“Hey babe…”
[Speaker pauses ]
“Wait, you did tell me I couldn't call you that anymore. Okay, my bad but just one question and I don't hang up. It's really serious and I really need to know. I've been trying to fall asleep and it's been a little hard. I just really want to know, do you kinda love me still?”
[Listener hangs up in Speaker ear ]

[Speaker calls Listener]
“Hey don't hang up! I swear it's nothing crazy this time. It's just that it's flu season and I need you to remember to take your allergy medication because you always forget until it's too late and your eyes start watering in the middle of the night. “
…
“You're welcome baby… No! Wait! I'm sorry I forgot-”

[Listener hangs up abruptly ]

“Yeah , good night.”
[Phone hangs up]

[Speaker calls Listener]
“I actually glimpsed you at the coffee shop yesterday. I didn't want to risk you blocking me again so I didn't say anything. But Brad serving you the mocha latte isn't funnier than me.”
…
“Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Please don't hang up. I do have something important to tell you, just give me 15 seconds I swear.”
“ Thanks … So 2 nuns walk in a bar -”

[ Speaker calls Listener]
“Hey it's been 2 months but I just wanted to check in. I heard about Lacey. I'm sorry she's not doing well. I sent her treats. You should get them tomorrow so could you tell her it's from me? she'll know anyway since I slept with the bag last night so she'll know it's me even if you don't tell her.”
…
“It's not THAT weird.”
…
“I wouldn't have to do that if I could trust you to deliver the message.”
…
“You know I can take her to the vet and stuff if you want…. You know, since my job is more flexible than yours.”
…
“Not pushing it or anything. Just an open invitation. I love Lacey too.”
…
“As I said, open invitation. If you need me , you know where to find me. Good night.”

[Listener calls Speaker this time and he picks up immediately, surprised that she would reach out first ]
“Uhhh hey. Are you alright?”
…
“No worries, I told you it would be no problem. Do you want me to come over and get her or…”
…
“I'll get to you in 20 minutes. Is that good?”
…
“Alright, I'll be there.”
[Phone hangs up]
…
[Voicemail Beep]
“Hey, Lacey and I are done with her appointment. I tried texting you and calling but you didn't respond so I am guessing you're in a meeting. You can swing by my place to pick her up. I'll keep her entertained until you get here so you don't have to worry. See you when you get here. Bye .”
[Listener calls]
“Hey, home already?”
…
“Well not really. I wasn't expecting you to call me since I already gave you all the details from the vet about Lacey.”
…
“I'm sorry I had to be the bearer of bad news. You two should get some rest, okay?”
…
“You're welcome… anytime. Good night.”
[Phone hangs up]

[Speaker calls ]
“Hey, just wanted to see how you were holding up. And to check up on Lacey.”
…
“That's not too bad .”
…
“I'm really sorry this is happening to you. I know how much you love her. If you need anything, you can call me anytime.”
…
“Take care of yourself.”
[Phone hangs up]
____________
[Listener call, Speaker answers a bit jittery]
“Hey what's up. Sorry I took so long I was-”
[Speaker is cut off by Listener's sobs]
“Hey, Hey sweetie what happened? Did Lacey…”
…
“I'm so sorry.”
…
“When did it happen?”
…
“She was with her favourite person right to the end. That's what she would have wanted. You gave her everything you could baby. You remember what the vet said. There was nothing more you could have done.”
…
“I know. I'm so sorry.”
…
[ Listener's questions stuns Speaker for a bit]
“Uhhh yeah I can come over.”
…
“Just give me a sec . I'll be over in 30.”
[Almost nervous]
“Yeah it's alright. I'm coming. I'll see you soon.”
…
“Bye.”
[Phone hangs up]
____________
[Speaker calls]
“Just stepped in.”
…
“No, you really don't have to apologize. I would have stayed since you asked. You didn't convince me. Either way I would have still been there for you.”
…
“It was nice seeing you for longer than 10 minutes again .”
…
“I hope the weekend is good to you.”
…
“Yeah bye.”
[Phone hangs up]
____________
[Listener calls]
“Hey , everything alright? You don't sound too good.”
…
“Oh you finally got my package. Was it a bad time?”
…
“Well when I carried Lacey to the vet, the results really weren't good. I knew it was coming so we went to do some arts and crafts. That's why I spent the day with her,we were busy. I did the paw and snout impressions with air dried clay then I did record playing with her for a while because I planned to go to Build-A-Bear. She was way too tired so I didn't get her barking or anything like that. If I asked you for a video it would have given it all away. I wouldn't be able to explain why I need a video of your dog barking. Took me a couple days to put it all together. I tried to get a stuffed animal that resembled Lacey the most.”
…
“I had to time it . I didn't want to give it to you the moment she died. It just felt too sudden, like it would have made you feel worse.”
…
“I know how much she means to you. I loved her too, I miss her too.”
…
“I should thank you for letting us hang out one last time.”
…
“I hope it helps you . I really do .”
…
“You're always welcome baby.”
…
“Hey , hey don't cry. It's alright.”
…
“Yeah sure. I'll be over soon , okay?”

[Speaker calls ]
“ Umm hey. I know I just left your place and everything but I wasn't brave enough to say it to your face. Truth is, I never wanted to get over you and I don't know if I can keep doing this with you if that's never going to happen for us. It's really painful. I don't want this to stop but I know that hanging on knowing that it might go nowhere will break me even further. I know what I want from us but what do you want from us?”
…
“I don't think I should stay the night again till we answer that.”
…
“I'm sorry.”
[Speaker hangs up]
____________
[Listener calls ]
“Hey I thought we agreed that-”
…
“Huh, who is this ?”
…
“Ash, what are you doing with her phone ? Better question, why are YOU calling ME?”
…
“ Since when is the lightest weight in the world getting drunk with you?”
…
“How much did she have?”
…
“Three? As in one, two , three? You're kidding.”
…
“I'm coming.”
…
“Well the roads have laws, Ash. I'm coming in a reasonable and lawful amount of time.”
…
“Send me the address .”
…
“Cool.”
[Phone hangs up]

[Speaker calls Listener]
“Hey I just wanted to let you know I did order you breakfast. I couldn't stay any later to make you any.”
…
“Maybe cut down your drinking spree to 1 and some Ice chips. You know you can't handle that stuff.”
…
“ Look out for delivery. Take care of yourself.”
[Phone call ends]
____________
[Listener calls, Speaker tries to be neutral sadness and longing in his voice]
“Hey, I guess you got them.”
…
“I didn't have the heart to cancel the service. Happy birthday.”
…
“You're welcome.”
…
“I know we haven't spoken since THAT night but I wouldn't forget your birthday.”
…
“Well I was trying to give us some space. You know you never answered my question plus you were in a very vulnerable part in your life. I didn't want it to influence your decisions so I took a step back.”
…
“And that's fine. I'm not asking you to know now . But I know doing all that definitely won't help. So it's fine . Truly.”
…
“Please don't do this on your birthday. Just forget it and enjoy yourself, okay?”
…
“I gotta go.”
[Speaker hangs up]

[Speaker calls]
“Umm hey. I got your voicemails. Is everything alright? Did something happen? Are you okay ?”
…
“No, I didn't block you. I've just been … away . Busy.”
…
“But I also wanted to talk to you. I really didn't want to talk on our anniversary though.”
…
“Since we're here , I guess there's no time like the present .”
…
“I tried to keep myself distracted. I really did.”
…
“But my feelings never went away and it's eating me up inside. I'm trying so hard to respect and keep the boundaries but it's like I'm betraying my very being. But I'm not sure where I stand with you. I realized when I would call you baby and you wouldn't hang up on me . I just tried pushing my luck a bit and you stopped pushing back but you never actually said anything so I didn't want to read into it.”
…
“Then you kept inviting me over , and I kept staying the night but we didn't have a name.”
…
“I LOVE labels. I WANT to know what we are. I want us to be something that's not this. I want you to be mine . That's the label I want you to have.”
…
“Why didn't you tell me ?”
…
“ I never stopped loving you. I only tried to stop because it seemed that you wanted to move on and our interaction was making it harder.”
…
“I never wanted to break up but breaking up showed me that I don't want it to stay that way. I actually can't stay that way. Baby please, we can be better, we can be good. We can make this better.”
…
“ Is this you finally giving me the answer to my question?”
…
“I want to get back together too.”
…
“I really think we should talk … in person.”
…
“ I'll be over soon. I just need a couple minutes before I head out .”
…
“I have to pack a bag .”
…
“Because I'm staying over, baby.”
