CONNOR LEAVES THE ROOM WITHOUT GIVING HER AN ANSWER, which only raises her suspicions.
If he doesn't answer her, she will find out one way or another.
Walking out, he leaves the door open. Aubrey thinks it is intentional; he suspects she might try escaping again but Aubrey has no strength left for that.
At this point, whatever happens, happens.
A phone rings.
Aubrey snaps her head up immediately. Her eyes are wide open like an owl's as she scans the room for the ringing phone. She wasn't thinking of escape before but now, she is.
A smile of relief forms on her lips when she finds the small telephone on the dresser. She quickly races through the room for the phone, wasting no time in putting it up against her right ear.
"Hello." She answers, trying to catch her breath.
"Hello sweetheart."
She stops breathing.
"I was hoping you would be the one to pick up the phone."
