Unknown Number

My voice just sounds lovelier every time I hear it. Take a long weekend trip to Santa Cruz, your cousin Jasmine has just gotten very ill. Play house with the uni students and I'll come find you. I'd prefer if you'd find the whale skeleton on your own by say, one PM, but I can find you otherwise. We need to play wallet tag, bring a pair of gloves that fit you nicely.

Ciao.

Ariadne, I recommend you get a new message. This one sounds like a reject from Coronation Street. [Brief chuckle.] You can tell him I said that, if you like. When you have a minute, call me.

[It's only a couple of hours before she returns his call, because whatever Arthur wants to talk to her about, she knows she'll want to hear it.

She just hopes he picks up.]

[notforthemoney]

[It rings three times, then...]

Hello. You've reached my voice mail. If you've got this number, I probably know you. You know what you have to do.

[Beep.]

[chesstotem]

Damn. Uh, sorry I missed you earlier, I was in a meeting. Call me back.

Ariadne. It’s Arthur, though I’m sure you already knew that. I just wanted to let you know I’m coming home tomorrow night. Call me back. I love you. Bye.

[chesstotem]

[Less than half an hour later, she's calling him.]

[dontthinkabout]

[He picks up his phone after the second ring.] Hello.

[chesstotem]

Arthur! Hey. I got your message. Did something happen? I wasn't expecting you back for a few more days, at least.
