"im just opening a shitload of post and looking through my emails. ever since i've left the city i seem to get double the amount" i said while opening a letter whilst wedging the phone between my ear and shoulder.

"someone is in high demand huh?" he said.

i laughed "something like that yes".

he chuckled going silent as i shuffled through my post.

one letter caught my eye through the difference in envelope from the others.

i opened it with a quicker pace than usual before gasping.

"what?" i heard joaquín say "you okay?"

"yeah yeah can i call you back?".

"sure but are you sure you dont want to talk about it?".

"yes i'll...just give me second babe, i'll call you back".

"alright".

he hung up for me giving me the head space to read the letter.

it was from the hospital back in new york saying saint who was now approaching one was eligible for a cochlear implant evaluation.

Subject: Eligibility for Cochlear Implant Evaluation for Saint Carter

Dear Ms. Carter,

We are pleased to inform you that your child, Saint Carter, is eligible for a cochlear implant evaluation at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital.

If you would like to proceed, please contact our office at (212) 305-0027 to schedule an appointment. We look forward to supporting you and Saint throughout this process.

Sincerely,
Dr. Emily Roberts

i was both relieved and anxious. before ximena went AWOL she made it clear that saint would probably be eligble, but the speed of which it would be assessed i undermined and i wasn't prepared.

i knew it would promote his quality of life but i couldn't help but worry. it would've been weird if i didn't.

the news although great, i knew it would mean i'd have to return back to new york sooner than i wanted. i always planned on going back, i planned on going back temporarily as soon as a month later to celebrate the twins' 1st birthday but i knew that this news required a permanent quicker move and it was about to shake up everything i had formed over here.

"fuck" i said immediately clicking dave's contact.

"wassup?" he said as he picked up on the second ring.

"have you got a letter from the hospital?".

"hold on" he said shuffling around before replying "yes" he said before going quiet.

"well open it dave".

"what is it?" he asked the sound of torn paper coming from the phone.

"saint. he's eligble for thr cochlear evaluation".

"why do you sound flat about it?".

"excuse me?".

"dont pick a fight with me cause you know what i mean. when we got his mould refitted you made it sound like the best option now you sound so flat about it".
