I called Haleh.

I uh... I found her through the company I used to work with. I couldn't help it. I just thought... if you could at least talk to her, maybe... *shrugs, nervous*

[all_heart_peter]

I wasn't... trying to go behind your back. I just know that sometimes you're scared to do some things, but when I help you out, you end up appreciating it. This is important.

[all_heart_peter]

I know, but... *frowns, looking down* I know how much you miss her. How much it hurts you. I was just trying to help.

[all_heart_peter]

What? Hes! *follows after you* I... I'm sorry! I thought maybe it would be the push you needed. I swear, I was just trying to help!

[all_heart_peter]

I was... hoping I could try, yeah. I know how resistant you are to it, but I thought if I could just get the two of you talking... *frowns, worriedly* I'm sorry, Hesam.

[all_heart_peter]

Yeah, I know, but... it's been so long and things change. It doesn't hurt to at least talk. You don't even have to see each other! You can just talk on the phone.

[all_heart_peter]

You don't know that, Hesam. *pauses* I left her a message. Asked her to call me back. She'll call back, Hes. I know she will.

[all_heart_peter]

*takes a chance and reaches out to squeeze your shoulder* If she wants to talk to you, she'll call back and you'll know. You have nothing to lose. It'll be okay.
