We Need To Talk

> Nona?

> Nona, I know you're there.

> We need to talk.

- Who is this?

> I think you know.

- Jac?

> Yes.

- Oh, Jac, thank God!

- I've been so worried.

> That's sweet of you, but no need.

- You have always been so resourceful.

- *heart emoji*

- How did you manage to contact me?

> I suppose you could say I am borrowing a friend's phone. It's not important.

- So clever of you! Who is it? Another candidate?

> Definitely not.

- Oh? How come?

> I am accustomed to being a man.

- Oh? So you're with a woman?

- It's fine.

- But I agree. I prefer you as a man, too *wink emoji*

> She is asleep right now. I don't think she would mind me borrowing her phone for this, but I would rather wrap this up before she wakes up. I don't know how long we have. She is currently in a phase of light sleep.

- Oh. OK.

- Listen. Jac.

- I've been thinking and I have to say something.

- I'm sorry.

- For everything.

- I mean it.

- I know I've been difficult lately.

- It was all getting so much. The pressure, the money, all of it.

> It doesn't matter now.

- What do you mean?

> You made me the man I am. For that I will always be grateful. The rest of it... Let's just say it's in the past. I have no ill feeling toward you.

- Jac?

- What are you saying?

- Why did you contact me?

> Because I think you've been looking for me.

- Of course! I want to find you! I miss you so much xx

> I want you to stop.

- What? Why?

> I think it's better this way.

- What do you mean?

> I'm not sure what happy is, Nona, but I think I'm happier now than when I was with you. I think I was never happy with you.

- Jac, you can't mean that.

> I mean it, Nona. Stop looking for me.

- Really? How will you get a new man suit, Jac? Without me? Will your little floozy do what needs to be done?

> I would never ask her to. She is a nice person.

> Nothing like you.

- So you're content to be a little chip forever, are you?

> Perhaps not forever. But for now.

- And then what?

> You forget, Nona. I can reach anyone. You said it yourself. I am resourceful. I can get what I need. Who I need.

> I don't need you.

> I just need you to stop looking for me.

- Jac, don't do this. Don't be hasty.

> Goodbye, Nona. Thank you.

- Jac dont. olease. Stay! Talk to me.

- Jac?

- JAC?

- But Jac, I love you. You know that, right? I always have. Everything I've done, it was for you. Because I loved you.

- Jac you can't go. Please.

Thank you for reading!

A/N - I was having some technical trouble posting this last night, and then I got struck down by a migraine which I'm still recovering from 😬
