"Hello?" Katherine answered.
Hearing her voice, Damien felt slightly better. "You picked up my call…"
Confused, Katherine's brows knitted. "Oh… Should I have not? I can put it down…"
"No, don't!" His eyes grew wide so fast, startled by her statement. Realizing his panic, he chuckled at himself and shook his head. "That sounded so desperate and sad."
Katherine's voice softened when she heard him. "Just a little. I won't tell anyone."
Finally feeling comfortable, Damien laid down on his bed again, smiling because she was speaking to him. "Your housemates are asleep?" he asked.
"Yeah, I think so. We sort of celebrated today. They called it a night after one bottle."
"I see… Have you had a lot to drink?"
