"It's 2 in the freaking morning. Why in the world are you calling me?"

"..."

"Are, are you crying?"

"No, no I'm alright."

"No, you're crying. What's up?"

"I don't really want to talk about it."

"Why'd you call me then?"

"Your awful at this, Nessa."

"I know, I'm sorry. I just don't know what to do."

"I just want to talk to someone."

"Let's talk then."

"I have this cat. His name is Bagheera. Guess what he looks like."

"Bagheera, Bagheera, I remember that from somewhere."

"It's from the movie-"

"THE JUNGLE BOOK!"

"Yep yep yep, that's it."

"So it's a black cat, continue."

"Well, he was a stray, or at least he didn't belong to anyone. What I mean is he went to several different homes, but no one wanted him for very long. I found him at our front door one night cold and shivering and something about him made me want to keep him. I don't know what the reason was, though."

"Sounds like a special cat."

"He's a great cat."

"Alright. I'm going back to bed. Thanks, Nessa."

"No problem, Gray. Any time. I'm always one call away."

"..."

"You're asleep already. Well alright."

-call ended-
