"Runner?"
"Hm?"
"Did I wake you?"
"Nooo."
"You sound very sleepy."
"It's three o'clock in the morning without coffee."

"Are you in bed?"
"Tucked in like a princess."

"Runner?"
"Hm?"
"Can you . . . never mind."
"Nooope. Say it."
"No, it's dumb. I'm fine."

When I see you, I see a person that I want to get to know more than I have been through phone calls . . . Snow?"
"Yes?"
"I . . . I like you."
" . . . . "
" . . . . "
"I like you too, Demitri."
"Are you smiling right now?"
"Of course."
"Get some rest. I'll call you later."
"Okay. Goodnight."
"Sleep tight, Little Runner."
