One Phone Call

"Did you ever like me?" He's always wanted to ask her that question. "Even once or... even a little, tiny bit?"

He couldn't help but wonder what would've happened if he had confessed to her back then. Watching a video montage of pictures of her and her new boyfriend on the news (complete with a cheesy love song in the background) definitely triggers the countless "what ifs?"

He picks up the telephone and dials her number.

I haven't changed my number in years, so he has no excuse, he remembers her saying in an interview.

"Lea? Hi. How've you been?"
