         "Say hello to auntie Ellie!" the voice comes out of my phone slightly distorted. The classic baby voice. Sometimes obnoxious, sometimes not.

         "Hello!" though, the word sounds more like a 'hewwo' than anything else. I laugh gently and look at the small face on the screen of my phone.

         "Hello! How are you?" I smile.

         "I'm good. Thank you. How are you?"

         "I'm doing wonderful."

         "Ah, Ellie, someday you should meet her in person!" the face on the screen switches to a more mature, older one.

         "Yeah, for sure!" I smile. "Also she speaks really well. At least, I think so. I don't know how well a four-year-old is supposed to speak."

         "She's good! Four-year-olds are supposed to speak around this level, but she's a bit more fluent than most. Can you be good at talking based on your genetics? Or do I just let her practice a lot and teach her well?"

         "I'm not sure about that first question, but I'm pretty sure your teaching is what's made her so advanced."

         "Yeah. So, what have you been up to lately?"

         "Uh, well, I'm back in school. I met some new and amazing people, met some really terrible people. But overall, haven't done anything particularly interesting."

         "I hate to be that person but... how's the love life?" she laughs. "I mean, before everything happened and we lost touch, weren't you in a not very ideal situation?"

         "Yeah... well, something kinda similar did happen again. But everything's fine now. Nothing really did happen. And it was a little over a week ago. So everything's fine. But I am in a very nice, refreshing, healthy relationship right now. You?"

         "Still single. I've sort of started looking around? But a lot of guys consider a girl having a four-year-old to be a turnoff," she laughs. "And the people who didn't mind... well things didn't really work out. I guess I just have high standards. If they're not almost exactly like Ethan, then I guess I won't like them. He was just so... perfect for me."

         It's quiet for a moment.

         "But how's your boyfriend? Or girlfriend? Or other?" she tilts her head to the side slightly. "You're bi, right?"

         "Mhm. And it's kinda great. A very refreshing change from what I'm used to."

         "We need to meet up sometime! And you should introduce me to your... uh..."

         "Girlfriend."

         "Girlfriend."

         "She's here if you wanted to meet her now."

         "I'd love to, but I have to go soon."
