❝Ring ring Oliver, you're beloved Nessie is calling you!❞
"Aren't you taking your shift right now at our job? What are you doing calling me for? Not that I mind, I adore your calls, but why?"
❝Boredom, but there is something else...❞
"Oh no...something happened didn't it? Your voice gets low when you're upset or something is bothering you."
❝Sort of...I keep getting voicemails from Quentin...I don't really know what to say or do. Each voicemail sounds like he's about to cry.❞
"Oh man. Look, what you want to do Nessie is your call and your call only. As much as I hate his guts, I really don't want to influence you on this. You can talk to him if you want."
❝I don't know...I'm happy where I am now. Do I really need to bring him back into my life?❞
"Clearly he's missing you if he's still putting in effort to try and be in your life after months. Honestly, it's your call."
❝You're terrible at helping.❞
"Still going to stay?"
❝Always.❞
"Then I'll take that rude comment as a compliment. Back to the topic at hand. If you call him, promise me that you won't fall into his little game again."
❝He fooled me twice. Third time is not the charm for him. I'll tell you about the phone call when I visit you later today. I'll see you soon.❞
"See you then Nessie."

❝Hello? Quentin are you there?❞
"Yo! Quentin here! Can't get to the phone right now because I'm clearly busy, so leave a message and I'll get back to you soon or not, but eventually I will!"
❝Oh...um, hey Quentin? It's Nerissa...I just wanted to let you know that I get your voicemails and I ignore them. I'm sorry I do that, I just don't know if I want you back in my life right now. I don't even know why I called. I guess I felt as though we need to talk and clear the air? Well, Um...goodbye.❞
