Two Years of Quiet

Hey, it's me. I know this number doesn't work anymore, but I still call sometimes.

Just to hear your voice on the greeting. That old message: 'You've reached Kathy, I'm probably delivering a baby, leave a note.'

The group chat went quiet two years ago. I scroll up sometimes, read the last few messages. No one posts anymore.

I got a jury summons yesterday. It's on the fridge with a magnet you gave me. I keep meaning to throw it away, but I don't.

I'm saving up for the wedding. Nothing fancy, just a small thing. I wish you were here to yell at me about the dress.

Anyway. That's all. I just wanted to hear your voice one more time. Even if it's just the recording.

I'll keep this number saved. Just in case.
