President Hargrove.

Hi.

Give me your phone.

[Chuckling] I'm sorry?

I know the best family attorney in the city.

Oh, no need. [Chuckles]

Raul and I are trying to work things out.

And you know he's not going to change his mind?

Her name is Nina Horton. She's great.

Thanks.

Any time.

Annalise turns over on the bed when her phone begins to ring. Everything in her wants to ignore whoever is trying to get through to her but she cannot allow herself to stop wondering who it might be.

Maybe it's Nate calling to make things a little more complicated for her. Perhaps it's Bonnie calling to nag. Worst scenario, it's one of the students calling to inform her of another death.

Huffing softly, she rolls her eyes before reaching over to grab her phone from the night stand.

President Hargrove

She quickly sits up on the bed and stares down at the phone until the ringing stops.

She decides to return the missed call.

"Annalise?" Her voice is soft, sweet and questioning.

"President Hargrove." Annalise says her name with much enthusiasm although she does not care to be speaking with anyone at the moment.

"It's ten o'clock at night, please call me Soraya."

"Yes, it is ten o'clock at night. I'm in my pajamas. What could possibly be the matter now?"

Soraya sighs softly. "Nothing is wrong. I just wanted to tell you thank you again for what you did for me today."

Annalise chuckles. "I didn't do what I did for you. I did it for your kids so that they will be able to forgive you too, someday."

"Well thank you anyhow. That was really...nice of you."

"I don't do the things I do to be nice, I do them because it's right."

"Annalise! Geesh! Can you ever just accept a compliment without a defense mechanism?"

"I mean, I can but let's be real right now. Did you really call me at ten at night to spew compliments at me?"

"Not everything deserves retaliation. Didn't I tell you before that you don't know me?"

Annalise looks to the side before responding this time. "Is this part of your plan to teach me more about you then?"

"I just called to say thank you."

"Hmmmh huh."

-silence-

"So is it true?"

Annalise furrows her eyebrows. She had expected this line of questioning. "Is what true?"

"Did you do it?"

"I thought you said you called to thank me, not to question me about the murder of my husband."

"No, no." Soraya shakes her head even though Annalise cannot see the action. "I don't mean your husband."

"Then what exactly are you insinuating?"

"That attorney, Rothlo. Did you really sleep with her?"

"Oh wow." Annalise laughs wholeheartedly. "I just can't get a break with you people, huh? I guess this is the thanks I get. You people will do whatever it takes to see that my black ass is off of that campus for the-"

"Annalise." Soraya's voice brings her back before she can even wander off into a fit of rage. "That's not what I meant. I'm just curious."

Annalise swallows. "I don't appreciate being called after business hours to be accused of being a lesbian President Hargrove."

"You talk like it's wrong."

"Your behavior right now is surely immoral."

"I meant being a lesbian." Soraya rolls her eyes. "How do you know I'm not asking you about her because I'm interested?"

Annalise laughs. "First off, I know nothing about Miss Rothlo or her sexuality. And secondly, you must be crazy to think I would ever for one second take you as that girl."

"You know what, I'm sorry to have even inquired."

-silence-

"Well thank you again. Oh and next time maybe consider the fact that things may not have always been the way they are now. Goodnight Annalise."
