The sound of my ringing tone pieces the silence distracting me from my food again. I glanced at the screen and an unknown number was calling but it seemed unfamiliar, for a while before picking. 


Ethan's voice boomed through the speaker, warm and familiar. “ Hello, Emily!” 


I felt a thrill run through me as I recognized his voice. "Ethan! Hi!" I exclaimed, feeling a surge of surprise, haven not heard from him in days. 


"Hey Emily! How are you? I should have called you, I am so sorry I haven't called for a while. My phone got misplaced and I just got a new one. I should have reached out earlier. I'm sorry,” he said,his voice low and gentle. 


I feel for him"It's okay, Ethan. I understand. How are you doing?" 


"I'm good, thanks," Ethan replied. "Just busy with work and stuff. How about you?" 


I smiled, feeling a sense of comfort. "I'm good too. Just...a lot on my mind lately."
