Re: Call: Iris M/Cris M
[She opens her mouth to reply after the first sentence, but when he continues she just lets it come, waiting until he draws to a stop.] We've spoken in the past, Neil and I. I'll contact him. [...] I apologized for snapping at you, you're right that it's not your fault that something's going on with Louis. I shouldn't have said that it was, and I didn't know at that point that you'd stepped away to take care of your own troubles, so again I'm sorry. [A bit of a pause, and she's not backing down from this one.] I don't want you to stand and listen to anything, but the truth is that I am at a hospital, so it's going to sound like one since you asked me to call instead of writing. If you notice anything, that's great, but that wasn't the intention of me contacting you. And while yes, I would like to talk about Louis, I'm also allowed to also be concerned about someone who tells me that he's injured to the point that it counts as a distraction.
