"Hey, it's me again. I just thought you might want to wish Jamie a happy birthday. So call me when you get this... or any of the other three messages." Brooke says into the phone, trying to get a hold of Julian. "Okay, bye."
"Okay, we're gonna open presents, do you want to go outside El." Haley says coming into the house "Are you all right?" She adds
"Julian won't answer her calls." Ellie tells Haley as she walks to the door.
"Come on, Mum! Chop, chop!" Jamie yells as Ellie runs out, Haley and Brooke trailing behind.
