" ARE YOU THERE? "
There was a light scuffing sound of shoes against concrete across the line. "Y-yeah. I'm here."
"You've been awfully quiet, Hunter."
He smiled. "Yeah, I was just.. listening to the sound of your voice."
You let out a laugh. "Odd."
"Could you - maybe - keep talking?" He questioned, fingers twirling the telephone cord.
"...But why?"
"You calm me down."
A smile involuntarily grew onto your face, and you whispered. "Okay."
