"Nessa, it's been--"

-call answered-

"22 days. I know."

"If I could hug you, I would."

"Whoa, easy there. Down boy."

"Sadly, I missed that."

"You missed me?"

"Uh- yes."

"Wow. I can't believe it."

"You missed me too?"

"Nah."

"Figures. I should've seen that coming."

"Yeah. You should've."

"You know I missed your attitude, and I'm glad you are in a decent mood, but I have something I need to talk about."

"Oh, yeah, that."

"I'm truly sorry, Nessa. You don't understand how sorry I am. I just want you to know, I'm not my brother, at all. In fact, I'm nothing like him. I've got decent grades, I have healthy relationships with my friends and family, I have feelings. There are so many things different about me. I am so very sorry. I wish there was something I could do to change what happened, but I can't. So, can you at least give me a chance?"

"Sounds great."

"Stop smiling. It's almost like you think I'm in love with you or something."

"You will be when you see me."

"In your dreams, pretty boy."

"That name again, really?"

"Really. Goodnight, Grayson."

"Goodnight, Nessie."

"Whoa, whoa wai--"

-Call ended-

"Nessie? Really?"
