"Hello?" She answers the phone confused by the unknown number.
"Alison, long time no talk." She drops the ice cream and spoon that she had in her hand and Steph moves to play clean up crew. Alison is usually really good about keeping him away from human food but things have changed.
"Jocelyn?"
"Surprised to hear from me?"
"Yes." She's frozen in the middle of the kitchen, Steph lapping at her feet.
"Are you going to continue to be monosyllabic?"
"Yes."
"No need to worry. I just wanted to let you know I forgive you."
"For?"
"What for? For costing me years of my life."
"Ok."
"Is that all you have to say to me?! Okay?! Five years of my life Alison!"
"Two."
"Excuse me?"
"Two years. Four months. Fourteen days."
"You miss me?"
"No."
