It had been a long and tedious evening at the station, as the front door
beckon so did a well-earned glass of wine. The key slid into the slot and
turned easily; what a day, the shoes were off before the thought escaped,
slumping down on the couch the red light of the answering machine was
flicking in the darkness. Why am I sitting in the dark? The lamp was at the
other end of the couch; it just needed someone to lean over and flick the
switch; rising to the lamp she flicked it on and walked into the kitchen
and grabbed a bottle of wine and sat back down. The red light was still
flicking, ignoring it she gave a sigh and opened the bottle and pour it
into the glass.
After an hour staring at it, the flicking red light was getting annoying. Pressing the button shattered her silence "Hey Honey, it's Mom. Just letting you know that everything's fine and we are having a great time. I just wish you'd join us, think about it OK? You work too hard and Alice sends her love. I'll phone in a few days at about 7, try and be in" At least Alice is enjoying herself she thought as the next message began "Roz, it's Daphne. I haven't heard from you for a while and was wondering if you fancied going out at the weekend if your not too busy, that is. Phone me Ok?" Silence had returned to her apartment.
2 months had gone past since Roz stood in front of Frasier and told him to chose between her and Julia, she still wasn't sure why she had done it and even though she was sorry her pride wouldn't let her do anything about it. Yes she had been unreasonable maybe it was because she thought Frasier would have chosen her, she had been very wrong about that. Over the past month she had remembered the conversation she had shared with him on the porch of her Mom's house "Oh, we'll always be friends, Frasier. Nothing's going to ever change that." That's what jealousy does to a person she sat back against the couch, she had denied it at first, that she was jealous but the more she had thought about it the more sense it made.
The phone shrieking pulled her out of her thoughts "Hello" completely forgetting the call screener which she had brought after her bust up with Frasier "The radio awards in California?" Roz looked puzzled "Why am I being invited?" still confused and a bit dazed she got up and looked at the calendar "Yeah, I'm available for that, but why do I have to be there?" After getting her answer she hung up the phone now what have I let myself get into. She flicked the radio on, KACL playing the best bits of the week. Tonight was Frasier "So who's on line 3?" Roz found strange comfort in his voice "Danny and Anna" she winced slowly at not hearing her own voice "Hello Danny and Anna, I'm listening" there was a silence and then "Just wondering, where's Roz and why are you two not together?" Roz gasped "Yeah" Danny piped in "You two had some much UST, we could feel it through the radio. The show isn't the same." Trying to imagine Frasier's face she sat back against the couch "Well. um. What's UST?" At his best attempt he was still really bad at trying to change the subject "Unresolved Sexual Tension!" Danny sounded quite annoyed "Ok. Roz left KACL; there never was a relationship between us. It was just a co worker relationship, when she left KACL we parted and haven't spoken since." Frasier said getting slightly angry "Well, that's a real shame. A lot of people who listen to your show share Anna and I views that you would have made a great couple."
