"I'm sorry to disturb you. I did not mean to be a bother. But, I need your help." She hesitated to contact him, but she could not think of anybody else to call regarding her situation.
She initially thought of Alex, but she heard about the accident. She figured that he already had a lot on his plate. She did not want to add up to his problem.
"You know you can call me anytime, Cassie. I am your friend." He told her. "Anyway, what seems to be the problem." He could sense that something was wrong, but she was reluctant to share it with him.
Since she moved out of his apartment, this would be the first time that she contacted him. He also avoided calling her, abiding by her wishes not to be bothered in the meantime.
He wondered what changed her mind and why she called him instead of Alex. But he did hear on the news about Dani's accident. Maybe Alex was still busy taking care of Dani to deal with her.
