Chapter 2.13: July 23, 2017
"Be glad Kenny was actually able to save up money to foot that bill, Erunai."
"You bet I am."
"In any case, I noticed that server—Thomas, was it?—giving you some pretty intense looks. Did he give you his number? While I was in the bathroom, maybe?"
"You don't miss a thing, do you? Yes, he did."
"And? Are you going to call him or what?"
"No, I don't think so."
"What? Why not? If I wasn't marrying Mik, I'd call him."
"I don't know. I guess I just can't really get into a relationship right now. I'm still messed up with everything last year."
"Oh. Right, of course. I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it. Here's the hospital."
"Right. I won't be able to visit tomorrow, but I'll see you in a couple of days."
"See you, Beth. Thanks for today."
"It's your birthday, Erunai. How could I not let you have some fun and escape from that hole?"
"It's not so bad."
"Right, right. Bye."
"Bye."
Riiiiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiiiing.
"Hey-o, it's Kenji! I'm sorta kinda very busy at the moment and can't answer my phone, but, by all means, leave me a message telling me how much you love me. Where's the beep? I'll be the beep. Beeeeeeep!"
Beeeeeeep.
"Kenny, hey. It's me again. I'm actually very offended at the moment. It's my birthday, Kenny, and I know I sound like a stupid, spoiled brat saying this, but I can't believe you haven't even called to wish me a happy birthday. Seriously? You've never missed my birthday. Why are you starting now? Anyway, call me back when you get this. Or at least answer if I call again."
