"Bradley?" Kristen asked curiously. "Yes Bradley." I tell her over the phone. "That's great Ava. You are doing great." Rose chimes in from the other line. I flip through my closet and pull out a pair of skinny jeans. "Where that silk shirt." Rose orders me and I smile.
"I can tell your flipping through your closet." I pull out the silk tank top and chose flats instead of heels. "Look guys I gotta go okay?" We say our goodbyes and I hurry out to the front room to answer the knock on the door. I didn't bother checking the security cameras.
I was that suicidal I guess. I opened it and was surprised to see, Lillian. "Uh hi?" I ask. Lillian raises a brow and I step aside to let her in even though years ago she wanted to destroy me. "I just wanted to stop by and see you." I frown.
"Lillian you wanted to kill me." She shrugs a shoulder. "Yeah but things are different now. And besides I never even knew if you made it home after face planting in my kitchen." I feel a small sting at the words, "my kitchen". "Well I'm fine so." Lillian studies me and takes at note out of her purse.
"You can leave him a message at this number in the next twenty four hours if you want to speak to him." I stare at the paper as if it were poison. "Why?" I whisper and I feel my throat close up. Lillian sets the paper down into the table.
"I see the way he looked at you and your still not over him. You need closure or at least just to talk to him." Lillian stands up. "I'll let myself out." I don't watch as she leaves, I just stare at the paper. I pick up my phone and call Bradley.

My phone rang three hours later and I was still in the same spot. I picked it up and didn't look to see who was calling. "Ava? I can't believe you canceled what happened?" I opened my dry mouth and croaked out, "I got sick." I hang up before Rose could bash me anymore.
My hands shook as I reached for the paper on the table. The number was sprawled across it and I stared at the area code. It was in Switzerland. I dialed the number and took a couple of deep breaths. It rang twice. And then came the beep.
