Wrong Number ➳ Daniel Gillies

twenty one

"Macy?"

"Daniel, I know it's late and you're probably trying to sleep..."
"Never mind. Forget I called. Night."

"Wait! Macy, don't hang up."

"What?"

"You seem really upset. What's wrong?"

"How can you tell?"

"Well, sweetheart, it's three in the morning and you're calling me. Now, you don't seem like the booty call type, so..."
"Sorry that was inappropriate."
"Talk to me."
"Macy?"
"You there?"

"I'm sorry.. I just... my friend calls me sweetheart all the time. It's good to hear someone say it out loud."

"I like how your friend rolls."
"Are you alright, Macy?"

"I don't want to freak you out. I don't even know why I called you."

"I'd like to think we're friends."

"Wait, really?"

"Well, yeah."
"You do get to be my love interest for the next season, so we'd better be friends."

"Damn. I forgot about that."
"This is just going to be awkward."

"How so?"

"Just forget it, Daniel."

"You're always calling me Daniel."
"Why don't you call me Dan or Danny or something?"

"Okay then..."

"And talk to me. I promise I don't bite."

"I'm not worried about you biting me. I'm worried about you being freaked out."

"What? Why?"
"Is it that time of the month? Because I can talk about that. My wife got really bad cramps when we were married and — shit."

"Everything alright?"

"Yeah... I just, I didn't want you to know about the divorce."
"I didn't want to just drop that bomb on you. I'm so sorry."

"I'm sorry your marriage didn't work out."

"I'm not. I mean, we obviously weren't in love anymore. I'm just worried about my kids."
"Don't change the subject. What's wrong?"

"What?"

"You called me. You were obviously upset. Now talk to me, Mace. Please. I want to help."

"Okay, Okay."

"Breakthrough."

"My boyfriend and I broke up."

"That sucks. Guess we're both single now, huh?"

"Yep. And it literally hurts so much."

"Macy, I'm sorry. Did he break up with you?"

"No. I broke up with him."

"Then why are you so upset? Shouldn't you feel relieved? The distance thing didn't work for you."

"How'd you know we were long distance."

"..."
"Claire told me."

"Oh. Why am I not surprised."

"Why are you so upset?"

"I didn't want to break up, but he was just so controlling, and I love him. And it breaks my heart that I can't be with him."

"Sometimes it's better to let the ones we love go. Just because you love someone, doesn't mean it's meant to be."

"You're right. Thanks, Danny."

"Ah! I got a Danny! Progress!"

"Shut up. You're a dork."

"I know."

"Thanks for talking to me."

"You're leaving me already?"

"I figured you'd probably want some sleep."

"I'd rather talk to you."

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

"You."
