Fourteenth Phone Call.

"What did you do today?"

"Nothing too exciting, really. Just ran next door for a bit and hung out with your family. They miss you, Z."

"I miss them so much, Lennon. I talk to mum, like, twice a day and same with my sisters. It just isn't the same, though."

"I understand."

"You don't understand, it's hard. Like, really really hard to be away from them."

"I didn't mean to upset you-"

"You didn't, Lennon. Fuck. I just wanna come home."

"Let's talk about something else, yeah? How was your day? What'd you do?"

"Just a few signings and stuff, nothing really all that important."

"Sounds exciting."

"Not really."

"I also hung out with Adam today-"

"Who's Adam?"

"My boyfriend."

"Oh, yeah. Right."

"We mostly talked about you. How much I miss you and how you'll be home in a month."

"A month and a half, Lenny."

"Whatever. He can't wait to meet you. He's actually really looking forward to it, Z."

"How exciting."
