“I gotta go,” I huff to him. “Don’t leave me, baby…” he whispers sleepily. “Just keep me…” I’m not sure if he was trying to say keep me on, as in on the phone. But I dispel it either way, because I obviously can’t do that. “I’m hanging up now, Avi,” I speak softly, blinking at him while he sleeps. “I’ll… I’ll see you soon.”
