A week and a half goes by quickly as I ready myself for the temporary move. At Kiersten’s one night, my phone vibrates in my pocket while she’s making dinner. Emi. Inside, I smile, am excited to see that she’s calling me, but I can’t answer. I decline the call and put the phone back in my pocket. No less than fifteen seconds later, it vibrates another time. Discreetly, I pull it out and look at the caller ID again. Emi. I decline the call once more. We go through this one more time before I decide it must be something urgent.

“I left something in my car,” I tell Kiersten, grabbing my keys and kissing her on the way out. “I’ll be right back.” I hurry down the stairs and make my way outside her building where the reception is better.

“Em, what’s wrong?” I ask.

“Oh, hey, Nate,” she says cheerily.

“Hi. Is everything okay?”

“Yeah, everything’s fine,” she answers.

“Emi, what did you need?”

“Oh, right,” she says, her tone now serious. “Did you know you left one of your sketchbooks over here?”

“When?” I ask, not remembering ever taking one to her place.

“Well, I guess technically I borrowed it one night a few months ago, but nevertheless, I have it. You probably want it back.”

“I’ve got plenty others,” I answer. “How are you?” I ask after a few moments of silence pass.

“Fine,” she tells me.

“Good,” I respond, feeling she’s not, but trying to stay as detached as possible. “I have to go, Em, okay?”

“So you don’t want to come get it?”

“No, keep it,” I encourage her. “I wasn’t missing it.”

“Okay,” she sighs. “Did you see that mixed-media exhibit we were interested in seeing is coming to the Filmont Gallery next week?”

“No, I didn’t, Emi. I really do have to go.”

“Alright,” she says, disappointed. “Bye, Nate.”

“Bye.”
