"Chewie? Call me back, okay? I need to--" Sniff. "--talk to you. Benjamin f--finally got in and Mom made this big dinner with pot roast and potatoes and--" Gulp. "--carrots and beets and did you meet any nice girls at your internship and whatever happened to that pretty Molly Lane you were dating in high school and d-did you know Francine met Griffin S-Silver and strawberry rhubarb pie and then she says... she says..." Unintelligible thing that might be a snort or a sob. "Their room is full of boxes. Oh.... crap. Just. I can't talk to your voicemail. Crap."

...Bleeert.... Bleeeeert....

"Hmmmhummm? Mom? What? It's four a.m." That was a little fuzzy even for a morning person like Francine. Fuzzy enough that "Okay, timezones, yeah," worked as an answer to her mother's reply; it would take more sleep and possibly coffee to remember it was an hour earlier in Houston. "What's wrong?"

thatsamilkshake: (phone)
Merlin and Dinah didn't have any. Alice's and Firekeeper's were dead. Arthur couldn't talk to his, and Katchoo... She had the worst of both worlds whichever way you looked at it - not that Francine liked to look.

She felt almost guilty as she picked up the phone to dial home; she might not have the perfect family, but she had someone to call on Father's Day.

"Hi, Momma. Can-- I miss you too. Can I talk to Daddy?"

...

"On a Sunday?"

...

"Another one? Can't he ever find a decent secretary?"

...

"No, I... It's fine, Momma. No, it's not his fault, don't start on him. I understand. Just...tell him I love him, okay? When he gets home."

[Establishy, but open if you don't mind SP of laptop + hotel room wifi.]
