"you're coming home... tomorrow?" christian asks, the phone the nurse gave her doesn't hide the tone of his voice, which is unusually low. he's been quiet ever since she called.

she switches her cell phone to her other ear. "yeah, isn't that great!"

"yeah, i'm just... busy tomorrow. i want to be there for you, but i—"

"it's okay," she says, slightly disappointed. what is his deal? and what is he going to be so occupied with? "i can just go visit everett."

and elijah's grave, she itches to add.

"are you sure?" his voice is still faint.

"yeah."

he quickly says goodbye and hangs up, leaving fiona dumbstruck.
