Emily's heel(10)
"Sorry, sorry... Can't talk now..."
It takes her a moment or two to realize what he's saying, and then she understands. "...sorry..."
"...you're leaving me alone!"
She sighs. There is nothing she can do. She won't yell at him or throw a temper tantrum; he has every right to be angry at her. So she hangs up instead of arguing. She lets the sound of the dial tone fill the room for a second and then lowers her head.
She doesn't cry. Not today. Not even when she listens to her voice in the background, telling him to stop calling her because he won't let her have a quiet life. He says he wants her to have a good life and to find someone who loves her.
