"It's me." 

"No! Is it?" 

"I find it amusing that you continue to be sarcastic in situations like this." 

"Well, if I don't laugh, I cry. So, I choose to be a sarcastic bitch." 

"One of the qualities I like most about you." 

"Hey, you love all my quirks." 

"I never said anything about loving your qualities or quirks. I said 'like.'" 

"And yet, I hear you say that you love my qualities." 

"You need to see someone about that. Anyway, I just wanted. to call and let you know that I'm on the plane and you can galeanthropy me any time." 

"Thanks but no thanks. Hey, I thought you weren't supposed to call from planes. If mobile phones can mess up hospital equipment, surely they can mess up plane equipment too. What gives with all this double standards, Danny Duck?" 

"It's a satellite phone, Sophie. That's why I said that it was me at the start of the conversation." 

"Huh, I hadn't noticed." 

"Do you answer every random number that calls you?" 

"Are you seriously asking that?" 

"..." 

"Ok, whoa, you actually are. Do you need a reminder about how this whole thing started?" 

"Oh... haha. Right, I guess you do answer every random number." 

"Your genius astounds me." 

"It astounds me too." 

"I can't believe that the air crew let you use their satellite phone, though. You used your charm on them, didn't you?" 

"I'm on a private jet, Sophie." 

"Of course you are. I bet you charmed your way onto that, too." 

"Not exactly. My client arranged it all." 

"He really must want to get rid of his wife if he's willing to hire a private jet for his lawyer." 

"Let's just say that my client is eager. How's things your end? Lucas doing ok?" 

"Still on the ventilator but not dead. All in all, he's doing ok." 

"Any other news about his prognosis?" 

"The doctors were here yesterday to update my parents. Lucas is at the top of the donor recipient list now, but they need to clear the pneumonia and the infection before they can do a transplant. Hopefully, it'll clear up. Being on the ventilator is helping because is takes the stress of breathing off him." 

"That's good, surely. Are you back in work?" 

"In a way. I'm working from home. Or rather, from my parent's home. We're all back under one roof- minus Lucas- and already I hate it. Us girls keep fighting." 

"Fighting about what?" 

"Charlotte and Emma had an argument about whose top Emma was wearing. Charlotte was sure it was hers, Emma was adamant that it was hers. In actuality, it was mine."
