Rydel Lynch is calling you.
"It's three in the morning, what the hell do you-"
"Ellington?"
"Rydel?"
"Hey!"
"Oh my god, I'm sorry, I didn't check who was calling. Where have you been?"
"My mum had taken my phone."
"Oh."
"Yeah."
"Well..."
"Happy two months of friendship!"
"Happy two months of friendship."
A silence fell, and Ellington felt a warm feeling flow through his body, starting at his heart.
"I missed you."
"I missed you more."
"You're so lovely..."
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Oh. Okay. How's the divorce going?"
"Not so good. Well, I mean, the divorce is going well, but that's not very good."
"I get it."
"My dad has bought a house already."
"Really? Wow."
"Yeah..."
"Have you chosen yet?"
"I think I want to stay here."
"Rydel?"
"Y-yeah, that's fine."
"I can visit my dad on holidays, I guess."
"Yeah."
"So... yeah."
"Hey, I was wondering..."
"Mhmm?"
"That band of yours... Are you guys any good?"
"Kind of, I think. Why?"
"If you come here on a tour, sometime, maybe... I could spend the night."
"Sexy."
"Or you could- No, not like that, oh my god."
"I get it."
"Maybe you can sleep at my place."
"That would be fun."
"Yeah."
"We would cuddle..."
"I'd cuddle the shit out of you."
"Hey, Ell?"
"Yeah?"
"I love-"
"Shit, my mum's awake. I've got to go. Bye!"
Ellington Ratliff has ended the call.
"I love you..."
