[Dad]

"Eve." 

[What could you possibly have done? What could I even hate you for?]

"Eve, y-you don't understand. What I did is bad, very bad…" 

[What did you do?]

Mr. Stavros couldn't speak. 

[Dad] Eve called on the other side of the phone. [What did you do?]

"Eve…"

[What is it? Just tell me!]

"I…I don't…" he stuttered. "Can we speak in the morning? I want to talk to you face to face, not over the phone. So, can you come in the morning?]

[Dad…]

"Eve, please. This is not an over the phone conversation." 

She was reluctant because she didn't respond instantly. [Okay. I'll see you in the morning]

"Good. Take care of yourself."

He hung up the call and glanced at the nurse who stood awkwardly. "You can..go ahead and do what you have to do now."
