he picked up after two rings.




- hey.

hi. -

- ...

... -

i'm sorry. -

- it's okay.

no, it's not okay. please don't just instantly forgive me. please get mad at me, tell me how i was wrong and i shouldn't have acted so petty and childish. please. -

- lyds, don't cry.

i'm not crying. -

- yes you are, i can hear your voice breaking. and i'm not mad at you. it's just...i don't know. you probably already know that i really like you and i want to be with you, so it was just weird to see you post those pictures with someone else is all.

actually i didn't know you felt that way. i thought you were cool with just being friends. -

- i only agreed to that arrangement out of fear of losing you.

oh. wow. -

- and i know i'm not your boyfriend, but i can't help but feel jealous. i'm sorry.

no, you're not my boyfriend. -

- ...

... -

but i want you to be. -

- ...

- are you serious?

yes, you dummy, of course i'm being serious. -

- well, miss may, i graciously accept your offer.

i'm so very glad to hear that, mister pascal. -

- you don't know how badly i wish i could be there right now to kiss you.

well, what are you doing this weekend? -

- nothing that i know of, why?

i play halifax on the 25th, this saturday. would you want to fly up here for the weekend, maybe let me show you around my home province?  you totally don't have to if you don't- -

- are you kidding? i'd love to.

yay! i promise we're gonna have the best time ever! -

- i can't wait to see you.

i can't wait to see- ah, shit, i'm being yelled at by the t.m. i'm sorry, i should probably go. -

- hey, don't worry about me. go be my super successful pop star girlfriend.

hmm, girlfriend. i like the sound of that. -

- me too, lydia. me too. remember to text me after the show.

of course i will. talk to you then. -

- alright, bye.



lydia set her phone down and gave herself a quick glance it the mirror. she noticed something different, though. she now had this radiant glow about her, something she hadn't had since her first year married to jake.

and she could feel more pieces starting to stick themselves back together again.
