Summer's Voicemail.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Uh, yeah, this is Summer's voicemail. Who the hell calls people anymore? Just text me. But I guess if you insist on being weird and living in the dark ages, go ahead and leave me a message. And I'll text you back, like normal people do. Okay? Cool. I mean, the government is probably tapping all of our conversations anyway, but whatever."

*BEEEEEEEP*

no.

Jack considered the text he just sent.

space thats depressing u ever been homesick?

[somethingwithturquoise]

There was kind of a soft, sad smile at her phone. Summer love being right more than pretty much anything, but definitely not about everything...

yeah but usually when things go all to shit and it's horrible wherever I am at the time

I usually get like the opposite. Wanderlust or whatever.

Unless I get to count space in general as home, which like, geez summer presumptuous enough???

[suitably_heroic]

idk a good space ship can be a home i guess.

The Hawk had probably come closest to home before, which was a depressing thought in a completely different way. kinda weird uve been on island that long if u get wanderlust tho

[somethingwithturquoise]

I've been keeping myself busy

In ways that extended well beyond her control, too!

it helps me keep my feet on the ground

But if I stop for too long...

She was trying not to let herself stop for too long in this conversation.

Good thing she had all those Reese's pumpkins horded from the store!

well ur welcome on the next tour if u want. You could practically feel the shrug coming from that message, right?

Not that Jack wanted to think about the next tour right now. But hey, he could admit in the confines of his head that a tour with Summer would be nice.

[somethingwithturquoise]

FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT, NARRATIVE, BECAUSE....

what? Like in a million years after u manage to recover from this one?

Which she felt like was one of the most 'not a no' answer she could give, but it was also so 'not a no' that she realized she should probably at least say an actual 'yes.'

but that would be dope

[suitably_heroic]

yea in like a million years so like dont get excited. Because she was clearly excited! Or something!

Whatever.
