Retrace

It takes me a moment to decide whether to take the call, given I'm about to say something to Nia I might regret later. I can feel it in my bones. My emotional stability just left me, she tore me apart, I'm not even sure I know how to deal with it. Taking this call would be the best way to break the intensity we've once again fallen into. I couldn't be more positive Nia felt it, too. It can't be any other way when it's as strong. 


I inwardly shake off the spell and answer. Just like any other time before, as soon as I see Beth's name across my phone, a pull between warmth and care, guilt and deception, starts to cause riots within me. 


 "Fine, busy. Same ol'. " I pause for a beat.  "How are you guys doing? " 


 "We've missed you, Reeves. We haven't seen you for a while. "
