"Hello?" Pt. 2

October 22nd 2016

"Sophie?"

"Are you in London?"

"No-"

"I don't want to talk to you unless you're in London."

"But-"

"You stood me up at the wedding planner, Daniel."

"That wasn't-"

"Stop. I was at the wedding planner all by myself, and then, to cap it all off, I had to cancel our table reservation!"

"Soph, I'm-"

"Oh, you will be sorry!"

"..."

"Will be you be back by tonight?"

"No."

"Tomorrow?"

"Um..."

"Tell your brother and those idiot friends of yours that I will kill them."

"And me?"

"Oh, you'll have some grovelling to do, too."

"Even when it wasn't my fault?"

"Even then."

"But-"

"Want to know how you can make it up to me?"

"How?"

"Put your brother on the phone."

"My brother?"

"Mhm."

"Why?"

"Just do it."

"..."

<<Hello?>>

"Hello, Sammy."

<<Uh... Hi, Sophie?>>

"How was your little getaway?"

<<Um... it was... ok.>>

"Ok?"

<<Uh... Yeah?>>

"So, you enjoyed?"

<<Yes?>>

"I'm glad."

<<Ok...>>

"I just wanted to make sure that your last week alive was enjoyable. Because, you know, when you come back, I am going to kill you. I'm going to make Norman Bates look like a fucking angel. I told you to make sure that Daniel was back by last night. LAST NIGHT! But where is he, Samuel?"

<<Am I supposed to answer that question?>>

"No, Samuel, you are not!"

<<-Daniel, Sophie's confusing me. And scaring me. Equal parts confusing and scaring me.->>

"Oh, good, you're following."

<<Now, Sophie, listen...>>

"No, you listen, you little wanker! If Daniel is not back by tomorrow, I am going to flip my shit like I've never flipped my shit before. You may think I'm being irrational and that I need to calm down-"

<<Well, I didn't like to say, but...>>

"Shut up, Samuel! At the rate you're going, you will have just had a stag party for a wedding that is never going to happen! Get your brother back here, by tomorrow, or I am going to-"

<<Yeah, I know... Make Norman Bates look like an angel. Relax, Sophie, I'll get him back, don't worry.>>

"... Fine."

<<Great.>>

"Oh, and Samuel?"

<<Yeah?>>

"Jasmine is going to call you in about thirty seconds. You may want to answer. Fair warning."

<<But->>

"That's all. Don't put Daniel back on. I may say something I regret. Goodbye, Samuel, and remember... tomorrow, or else you face my wrath."
