"Lamees?"
She put a hand over her mouth to muffle her sobs. It felt so good to hear him again. Her heart gave a little jolt when he said her name. In that moment, she realized that she couldn't stay away from him.

"Lamees, are you crying? What's wrong?"
"I just told you what's wrong," she replied, sniffing, "I missed you."
"My God, please don't cry." His thick voice wavered visibly. "You're gonna make me cry. You have no idea how difficult it's been to ignore you."
"I do. I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"I don't even know. I don't know why I called you tonight, I don't know. I don't know what to do anymore."

"...Yes."
