"Ivy?"
"Hi, E! I know, I know. You're completely surprised that I'm calling first, but I know how delighted you are that I am. You're welcome."
"I am surprised, and happy, of course, but right now isn't -"
"Before you speak, I wanted to tell you something. So just give me a moment before I lose my nerve. I wanted to call and say thank you for last night. I don't know if it meant as much to you as it did to me, but -"
"Ivy, stop. Right now isn't a good time."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Are you busy?"
"As a matter of fact, I am busy. I'm coming, guys, just give me a minute! Listen, Ivy, I don't have time for this phone call right now. The only reason I answered was to tell you that, and also to tell you that it'd be helpful if you didn't call the rest of the day."
"What? I can't hear you. What's all that noise? Who were you talking to? Are those drums in the background?"
"Ivy, listen to me. I'm in the middle of something and can't be interrupted, okay? Whatever it is you have to tell me, can it wait? I have some things to attend to right now."
"Oh. I see. Okay. No problem."
"Of course I care about what you have to say, but not right now. I can't talk to you -"
"It's fine, E. Yeah, I understand. Talk later or something."
"Ivy, I'm sorry. You just don't understand what's going on and I really don't have the time to explain - Ivy? Hello? Are you there? Goddamnit, you hung up."
