Frank took a sip from their cup of too-hot tea. Just as they went to set the cup down, the phone began to ring off the hook. Startled, they spilled the tea onto the table and their own hands, recoiling from what felt like a burn.
Picking up the receiver, Frank took a breath to calm themself. The only person who would call at this time of day was Julie.
"Yes? What is it, Julie?" They muttered into the end of the phone.
Julie replied happily, her high-pitched voice making Frank hold the phone farther away from their face. "We're getting a new neighbor!" The last word was long and drawn out.
"Oh, Julie. You'd better not be asking me to--"
"But Fraaaankie! You've got to meet him!" She interrupted, already expecting Frank's sullen reply.
A 'Hmph' can be heard from Frank's end of the line. They sigh pointedly, to be heard through the telephone.
"I'll be there. And no small talk!" They say. Julie exclaims happily in response, before Frank sets down the receiver.
(A/N: they/them pronouns when writing is so hard to use but i really want to use the right ones for frank :'] )
