This was a call he hadn't wanted to make, hadn't been intending to make. It was something he'd have rather done in person but circumstances were what they were. So his finger drummed idly as he'd waited for the pick-up.

Phone doesn't ring too long, and spotting the number, "Hey, what's up?"
"Hey, shit, sorry I've kind of been all over the place. I have to go see my Dad, he's not holding up well. I have to go out of town for a bit. Do you mind? I know I'm asking a lot right now and I owe you more than that but it's all kind of happened unexpectedly. Fuck. Sorry. I'm just, not good at this, you know? I plan on coming back, and I know this is a...thing. But I have to be there, you know?" His voice was erratic, stunted, bouncing from one octave to another as he tried, and failed, to keep his composure.
She knew those words. She had walked down that Path with her own father.
And she knew she didn’t immediately come back. So her heart sank a little, but she kept a lid on that.
“I’m sorry to hear that! I hope he’s ok.” And she truly meant that. “Oh, sure, no problem, I got it covered.” Well, she kinda had to. “And I get it, no need to apologize, I understand. Go help your dad and we’ll be here when you get back.” A smile in her voice. Though her heart told her otherwise.
