"Hi, you've reached Leigh-Anne Pinnock. Sorry that I couldn't come to the phone right now. Please, leave your number and name and I'll try my best to reach you back."

"... hey... is Jade... I'm a mess... I have been for these last three months... I regret everything... I regret leaving you... but I knew you weren't happy with me... I tried to... ignore the way you'd turn your face when I'd go to kiss you... or how you face the wall when you lay beside me... I wish you'd told me why you did all that... what I do, Leigh Leigh?... what I say?... but... I called to see, once again, if you're okay?... does he treat you right?... (chuckle) or does he treat you like shit just the way I did?... I saw how you tensed when he hugged you today... by the way, you looked beautiful as ever... I also saw that same look in your eyes you gave me... I saw how you looked at me... and how you caught me and Jesy kissing... I saw the hurt in your eyes... I could read you like my favorite book, baby girl... (sigh) I saw how much I broke you that night... how you tried to hold back tears... and I'm sorry, baby... I truly am... but I know that's not gonna bring you back to me... I just want what's best for you, Baba... make sure you're happy and... y'know... okay... This was Jade... Call me?"
