"Hi."


And from that one word, she could tell it was him. It was his voice that had comforted her so many nights when she fell asleep while telling him about the problems she had with her dad. It was his voice that would sing to her on the phone when they couldn't see each other on even a weekly basis. It was his voice, the same voice, that she hadn't heard in the past three months.

"Oh.. no, it's okay."

She chuckled. "Yeah. I know."

"I had a dream last night. In the dream... you said the same thing. That you didn't even want to be friends anymore....."


He paused. "Oh."


"I just can't figure out.... if that's my greatest fear... or my greatest desire." She opened her eyes to the reality of their broken relationship.
