{Hello?}
"Am I speaking with Monica?"
{Ahem…yes, who is this, please?}
"Kelan."
{Kelan?!} A surprised voice came through the other side of Kelan's phone.
"Yes, how are you doing, Monica?"
{I'm fine. Oh my goodness, I'm so happy to hear from you. I saw your sis—no, your wife, Jaden, some time ago and she said you weren't around.}
"Yeah, I just came back recently. How is Jacob, by the way? That's one of the reasons I called. I couldn't get in touch with him. A whole lot has happened, and everyone's had their own fair share of life."
{Yes, that's true. But… Jacob…} Monica's voice trailed off. For a few seconds, she didn't say anything.
"Monica, are you there? Did something happen?"
{Ahh, this is hard to say, but Jacob is not here with me. He broke up with me a few months ago and disappeared. I haven't seen him since then. To be honest, I've been devastated ever since.}
