"This is Carla Connor, I can't come to the phone right now so leave a message and I'll get back to you later."

Hey... it's Peter.

I've called you so many times tonight and each time it went straight to voicemail.

Either your phone is off or you're ignoring my calls.

I'm guessing that you're more than likely ignoring my calls.

I'm guessing that whatever Leanne said to you earlier has caused you to feel like you shouldn't be talking to me.

I'm at work right now and when I saw I missed another call from you, I actually threw my phone across the room…

I'm not joking, it's in for repair as I speak and I'm currently using a replacement phone that looks like it comes straight out of the nineties.

I have listened to your message so many times Carla, I listened to it so many times because it was so good to hear that you sounded a little bit better.

Your voice was just that tiny little bit brighter but you sounded a lot more like the Carla I used to know... well you did before Leanne came over that is.

Carla what on earth did she say to you?

I couldn't hear much but I heard my name mentioned and then when you came back to the phone... I heard the sudden change in the tone of your voice, I could almost hear the sound of all of that hurt and all that misery come rushing back to you.

Simon says that losing Kal has really taken it's toll on Leanne, so I really don't think that you should take anything she says seriously, She's clearly not thinking straight.

I'm sorry but I just can't pretend that you never phoned me, I can't pretend that I didn't hear all of the things you said. I can't pretend and I won't to be honest.

Carla... I only moved on because that's what I thought you were doing, I thought you would be all right... I mean when I left the street you seemed so sure, you seemed like me leaving was what you really wanted.

If I'd ave known that you were going to go through all of this, If I'd ave known you were going to be feeling so down... Carla I would have been there in seconds.

You said I made you feel a little bit better... Well that's not good enough is it? I want to make you feel completely better.

You also said that I made you feel loved...

Carla that is all I've ever wanted to do, even when I was with Leanne, deep down inside that's all I ever wanted…to make you feel loved.

Do you wanna know what my favourite thing about your message was though… I am so glad you said that despite everything… you didn't regret being with me.

Hearing that was so bittersweet, I'm proud that at one point I made you so happy and on the other hand I am so ashamed for being the one who broke your sweet and delicate heart.

I was such an idiot.

Well... Idiot doesn't even cover it, I mean there are no words to describe just how incredibly stupid I was.

I let my ridiculous ego get in the way of the most precious thing in the world…

You.

I should ave worshipped the ground you walked on Carla, That's what I should ave done, that's what you deserved.

I haven't met anyone new, Of course I haven't. How could I even begin to find someone to follow your footsteps?

I am still your husband Carla and it's my duty to look after you.

Some people may say that I lost the right when I cheated on you but I think that's what makes it even more important…

That I'm the one who helps you heal.

As I said before Carla, I still love you and I still want to talk to you in person.

Before Leanne interrupted you…it almost sounded like you wanted to talk face to face too.

I can take time off.

I can pretty much do what ever I want down ere.

I could be on the way to Weatherfield tonight...

I could come.

I mean, I really want to.

But Carla… I need to know that you aren't going to change your mind about this.

I need to know that you're sure that this is something that you really want.

I don't want to get back to Manchester and then end up arguing with you.

Carla the last thing I definitely want to do is to make you even more upset.

I know this all sounds odd but I really ave to question myself these days…

I mean when I left prison, I was so sure that everything would go back to normal, that people would eventually be okay with me and that I'd be able to talk you round.

I was sure that it would be rough at first but that we'd get back together in the end… I was so sure.

Things didn't quite go to plan there did it?

Maybe I was just stupid or maybe I was naive, either way that's what makes me need to be sure that you will be all right with me coming to see you.

Though to be honest if you don't get back to me about this…

I might just come anyway.

Just for me own peace of mind.

Don't worry. I won't be expecting a big reconciliation between us.

I'm not even expecting you to talk to me… not if you don't want to.

I just want to be a shoulder for you to cry on.

I can't promise to solve all your problems but I can promise that you don't have to face them alone.

Get back to me soon Carla.

Please.

I know I said the last time that I only needed to hear your voice for just one more time but I lied…

You don't know just how much I need you,

I need to see you, to feel you, to breathe your air.

I really can't get the things you said to me out of my head.

Just hearing your voice… Nah it's never going to be enough Carla.

It's too late for me to pretend.
