[ She doesn't respond for... a while, but after several hours, there's a text back. ]

[ She's not fine. ]

[puppydoctor]

[The sarcasm is tangible.]

[coppelganger]

[ wow george rude >:C ]

is that your business?

[puppydoctor]

no, but you've been my girlfriend long enough for me to recognize a bad night, even from a city away
and i love you too much to ignore it

[coppelganger]

[ God, how dare he be so understanding and loving. She's tempted to just ignore him and conveniently lose her phone somewhere, but habit forces her into answering. ]

its all under xontrol, george. i'll talk to you later

[puppydoctor]

[He can clearly see by now that his efforts are just going to worsen things. It isn't one of those nights where he can soften her.]

[And with a sad, bitter sigh, he tries in vain to go back to sleep.]
