"Hey! This is Ethan. I'm not at my phone right now. Just leave a message, and I'll call you back as soon as I can! Bye."
"Answer your phone, fucktard. It's Travis, your loving boyfriend."

"-as soon as I can! Bye."
"You okay babe? You grounded? You in prison? Still Travis."

But he'd at least text Travis if he couldn't talk.

"You're.... you're not Ethan. Sorry about that."
