Dialing Jake...
"Jake! Oh, god, I'm so sorry! I did not mean to hang up on you! It was just, you know, I dropped my phone-"
"Ice princess."
"-and it kinda just burst open, so I had to put it back together, you know-"
"Mia."
"-but my hands were shaking for some very weird reason, so it took me a while, until Terry just got annoyed with watching me, so she put my phone back together for me, and-"
"CLARE!"
"WHAT?!"
"Breathe."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Better?"
"...a little."
"Listen. No pressure, and no rush, okay? We could just hang out...I still have a few days left before I have to go back to base..."
"..."
"I really enjoyed our little outing yesterday, so...what do you say, Clare?"
"...sure, why not."
"What's with the sigh?"
"Nothing, nothing. You're just really persistent."
"You're just now figuring that out?"
"Nah. Just now really realizing it. Listen, I have to go now. Text me the day and time you want to...hang out."
"Will do. Bye, Clare."
"Good bye, Jake."
