Riley goes to lean against her desk as she holds her phone up to her ear.
Riley: This is not going to be an easy call but I never got the chance to thank James for dancing with Alfie in the Qualifier. I need him to know how grateful I am.
James is sitting at the airport when he receives Riley's call, "Hey."
"Hey, I just wanted to catch you before you go back to England. I never got the chance to thank you for what you did. I know how hard it was for you and I really do appreciate it."
"No problem."
"Everyone is so grateful, especially your sisters."
"Is that it?"
"Uh, yeah. Yeah, I guess."
"Okay, I gotta catch a flight so."
Riley: That didn't go how I wanted but at least James knows how I feel. I guess now it's time to move on.

Riley holds her phone to her chest before slowly setting it down on the desk. Alfie stands in the entranceway to the office, leaning onto it with a huge smile on his face, "Hey."
She turns her head towards him and lets out a breath, "Hey." He walks into the room fully and notices the expression on her face, "What's going on?"
Riley turns and faces him, "Nothing. I just, uh, I just talked to James."
