He bit his lips, his eyes instantly filling with tears when he heard her voice. He was quiet for a little while before replying. "...Angelica told me it'd be good for us," he said softly. "I... Maybe Zoey already told you, but I told the kids I went after you in California to surprise you."
"Yeah... I'll get out of hospital in a couple of days. We should probably return home at the same time."

He nodded slowly. "That seems wise," he said sof th ly. He didn't really feel like going home in a couple of days already. He wanted to stay with Angel. "Did you..." He swallowed, rubbing his arm. "...Did you get your ring back?"
"Yes. I did.... Peter got it from the police for me." She looked down at her hand and the ring on her ring finger, where it belongs. "it's on my finger. It's ... Comforting to have again."

Julian clenched his fist when she mentioned Peter. "...Are you together now?" He asked, his tone a little colder now.
"No. I'm alone. I've been alone for a while now. He was only here to check up on me and to give me my ring."

He nodded slowly, taking a deep breath. "...Are you... going to keep seeing him?"
She paused and was silent for a few moments. She wanted to keep seeing Peter. And the fact that she was hesitant to answer him would tell him that for sure. She sighed. "I want to... But I was wrong to keep this from you. I..." She closed her eyes to stop the tears from coming. "I will stop if you tell me to stop." She said softly.

He put his phone down so he could rub his face with both hands, trying to remain calm. Every time he had a sliver of hope, she said something that made him want to bury himself in his bed and never come out again. She wanted to keep seeing Peter. She... He picked his phone back up and put it to his ear.
"...You don't love me the same as before... do you?" he asked softly, barely above a whisper. If she did, why would she want to see someone else? Surely that was never on her mind before...
She waited for his response. It took painfully long to get. She chewed on her lip nervously. She was afraid he was just going to hang up. Then his question came and she almost wished he did. "Of course I still love you the same." She said softly. "I just.... I have needs and you haven't been able to fulfil them. I waited and waited.... I..." She paused. "I will stop if you tell me to stop. I know you hate it..."
