"Hello?"

Nash was sitting, and hearing Nina's voice made his eyes flicker with emotion.

In a raspy voice, he said, "I miss you."

For a moment, Nina tightly gripped her phone but could not find any words to respond.

Having just nearly been kidnapped today, Nina was still shaken. With Wilfred living next door, she was not sure how safe she was. Talking to Nash helped distract her. She could not help but talk a bit more. "Where are you?"

Nash looked outside at the people doing exercises, the loud commands making him shut the window tightly. "Out of town."

"You're out of town?" Nina remembered that when they parted ways, Nash had something urgent to attend to, but she had not known he would be leaving town. "Yes, I had some things to take care of."

He did not elaborate, not wanting Nina to worry.

Nash asked, "How have you been? Eating regularly?"

He was still very concerned about Nina.

Nina thought for a moment, her worries evident. "I'm fine."

Nash wanted her to talk more. Just hearing her voice was enough to satisfy him. He checked the time and asked, "Are you about to sleep?"

"Yes," Nina replied.

Realizing he should not keep her up, Nash said, "Then get some rest. I won't disturb you."
