"Hello?" Kryhs spoke into the phone as she watched Toby try and get Gryphon out of the freezer. (Long story.)
"Hello sweetie!" Kryhs's mother beamed. "How's life?"
"Fine thank you," Kryhs muttered. "Mum you haven't called in ages and wont answer my texts or calls. What's up?" There was a moment of silence before Kryhs' mum spoke again.
"Well Danny's out of jail," she began.
"Goodbye, mum," Kryhs sighed, about to hang up.
"KRYHS WAIT," her mum said quickly. Kryhs sighed again and kept the line open.
"Wait for what? You know my feelings on Danny! It's never happening again!" Kryhs exclaimed, making Toby glance over from where he held Gryphon in his arms.
"I know! But I just want you to be happy," her mother hissed.
"I am happy here!" Kryhs insisted.
"Oh yes, I've seen the video evidence of that," her mother muttered.
"You've never met...look, I'm not having this conversation right now, thank you," Kryhs whispered harshly.
"So I'm guessing you don't want me to lift Danny's restraining order then?" Kryhs' mother asked, with a hint of hopefulness in her voice.
"I think you forget that it's because of him that you're in the state that you are," Kryhs rolled her eyes. "And if you dare lift that order, I will NEVER speak to you again."
"Yeah you will," Kryhs' mother sighed heavily.
"Yeah maybe you're right," Kryhs admitted sheepishly. "Anyway, I've gotta go, I think Toby's calling, love you, call you tomorrow, bye!" Kryhs hung up and threw her iPhone across the sofa. Toby gave her a sceptical look from where he stood across the room.
"I really didn't call you," he smirked.
"I know," Kryhs admitted, her face in her hands. Toby put Gryphon down.
"Okay, tell me," he sighed, making his way to the sofa and plonking himself next to Kryhs.
"My ex boyfriend is in jail," Kryhs began with such a huge sigh it took Toby by surprise. "Well, was in jail. He's out now apparently."
"That sucks. Is he dangerous?" Toby asked quietly.
"Oh hell yeah. In a weird, psychotic way," Kryhs said flippantly.
"Right. And your mom wants to do what?"
"Lift the order so we can get back together," Kryhs groaned, face-palming herself.
"Ummm...why...y?" Toby asked in confusion as Gryphon jumped up to join them on the sofa.
"Oh she's not schizophrenic but it's something like that," Kryhs informed him. "So her normal self, she hates Danny with more passion than any of us. But when she's not herself, like when I was on the phone to her just now, she sees the good in everyone. Like...overly-bubbly. It's madness," Kryhs sad sadly.
"And you don't want Danny anywhere near you?" Toby double-checked.
"Never again," Kryhs shook her head.
"Then it won't happen! Sorted!" Toby said simply. "Oh! Gryphon, you're nose is all cold and icy."
"How did Gryphon get into the freezer?" Kryhs suddenly asked curiously, scratching the back of Gryphon's ear.
"It all started when I was born," Toby began, making Kryhs laugh already.
