Zach woke up at three am to the sound of the phone in his hotel room ringing. He fumbled around for the phone, wondering who was calling him at this hour.
"Hello?" he mumbled.
"Zach? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up." Sendhil said.
"It's okay." he shrugged before he remembered Sendhil couldn't actually see him. "You wouldn't have called if you didn't want to talk, so talk. It's what best friends are for."
"Oh, yeah." The traces of mirth usually found in Sendhil's voice was missing. Zach knew something was wrong.
"So how's Singapore?" he ventured carefully.
"It's... fine." Sendhil said slowly. "We're on a boat," he said finally.
"Ah," Zach said knowingly. "So you're as sick as a dog?"
"Yes," he said mournfully. "They filmed a bit of footage for the network, then they told me to go try and sleep through it. It's not working very well. I just wish you were here."
Zach sighed. "Yeah, me too. Stupid executives. Adrian and Milo got to travel together, why not us?"
"I don't know. Hopefully if we get to do this next year we'll get to be on the same leg of the tour."
Zach laughed. "Watch us both get killed off next season after you say that."
"Yeah." Sendhil chuckled. The two of them just sat there on the phone for a few minutes, just listening to each other breathe. Finally he said, "I should probably let you go. It's what, two, three am?"
"Three." Zach agreed.
"Yeah. We should be docking in a few minutes anyway." Sendhil sighed. "Well, I'll see you in a couple of days. Love you. Bye."
Zach heard the dial tone ringing in his ear. Did he hear right? He might have been confused, he was seasick. But did that mess with your head? He didn't know.
"Love you too," he whispered before he hung up the phone.
