Riley sighed when her call went through to Matty's voicemail. She hoped that he was just...busy. With something. Anything. She'd prefer to think he was screwing Claudia than to think that he was avoiding her. But he wouldn't, right? He was her friend. Just...a friend. Sigh. But that wasn't the point of this call, was it? She took a deep breath when she finally heard that beep.
"Hey Matty. It's Riley. Obviously." She laughed a little. "I just wanted to...make sure you're okay and everything. I know you're heading out to Boston and Ed and Ben will take care of you, but I want you to know that if you want to talk I'm here. I'm always here for you." She bit her lip. "So call me back. I'm just going to make a cup of tea and watch Supernatural. Maybe read for a while before passing out." A long pause. "I love you, Matty. I'll talk to you later, okay? Bye."
And she hung up with a sigh, putting her head in her hands. Things shouldn't be this awkward.
