„Sean, it’s me.“ „Oh hi. What’s up?“ „Nothing. I just wanted to say ‚hi.‘“ „As usual.“ Sean laughed goodnaturedly. „Oh, you do know me, right?“ „Yeah, I do.“
They were silent for a minute, and Sean listened to the buzzing accompanying the connection.
„Erm, look, if this isn’t a good time to call...“ „Actually, it is. I was hoping you would call.“ „Really?“ „Yeah.“ He sat down in a chair, getting comfortable, and started to look through some of the papers, which lay on the small table next to him.
„How are you then, Sean?“ „Fine. Fine. Really. Lots of things to do, but today I have a day off. Christine’s shopping and the house’s quiet. What about you?“ „I‘m busy...“ „Busy bee...“ Sean chuckled. „Yes! Me the busy bee. Right.“ Sean could hear him laugh. But it ended abruptly. „It’s too quiet. I miss you guys.“ „Well, I miss you too. What about Dom?“ „I miss him most.“ „I know. I know. How long did you two live together?“ „I don’t know. About.... three months, one week, two days?“
They both laughed.
„I miss him badly.“ „Tell him.“ „Nah, I couldn’t, Sean. Besides, he’s in New York right now.“ Sean rolled his eyes. „Does it matter?“ Sean’s question was followed by silence. A rustling noise told him the caller was still there.
„Oh, fuck.“ „What’s the matter?“ Sean asked concerned. He stopped browsing through the papers. „I bumped my toe.“ „Poor baby. The couch again?“ He could not help but smile. „Yup. Damn thing.“ „I thought you wanted to get a new one.“ „Yes, I did. Kept the stupid thing anyway.“ „Why do you have to stand up and walk around anyway?“ „I’m hungry.“
Sean laughed.
„No, I’m really hungry. And I’m going to the kitchen with you.“ „Cable’s long enough?“ „No cable. I bought a cordless phone last week.“ „Wow.“ „No mocking. I’m not in the mood for mocking.“ „Yes you are,“ Sean grinned. He relaxed back into the cushions. „No, am not.“ „Are.“ „Am not.“ „Are.“
