"I need to tell you something."
"...What is it, Kat?"
"Um, I feel really guilty and I don't know why?"
"Awesome intro, baby. Please continue."
"Well, I met this guy and we've kinda become friends but I didn't tell you because I was kind of worried he'd turn out to be a creepy asshole and I didn't want to worry you over nothing."
"Sorry, you were concerned that a guy could be creepy...and you didn't want to worry me?"
"Anyway, I don't think he is."
"That's nice."
"And, yeah. We're friends and please don't get all weird and jealous."
"I've never gotten weird or jealous."
"Well, don't start."
"I'm rolling my eyes."
"I assumed."
"..."
"His name is Ellis."
"I love you, Katherine."
"I love you too."
"And I trust you."
"I miss you."
"Me too."
"It's my birthday tomorrow."
"I know. Your present should be there soon."
"It's gonna suck. My birthday, not whatever present you're sending-slash-owl post-ing."
"Attitude, Kat. Call me when you get up, okay?"
"I might never."
"Kat."
"I will, I promise."
"Hey, I have to go. Night."
"Bestest of nights, Cambriel de Luca."
