“I miss you.”  He knew she wasn’t in town from the most recent texts he’d read on the phone.

Yeeah, I think he’s doing this on purpose.

“This doesn’t sound like you.  Are you high, or did you get poisoned or something?”

“I really miss you,” Regent breathed into the phone.

Ahaha yeah, no doubt about it anymore.

Is he gonna play it off to the point where Emma thinks Sophia is interested in her romantically?

…which is something I can’t actually rule out being the truth.

“What.”

“I’ve been in love with you from the beginning.”

Alright that went quicker than I was expecting. 😛

“Sophia, stop.  If this is a prank-”

“Why do you think I pushed you to turn on that depressing little shit of a friend, way back then?  I was jealous of her.”

This could very well be true. I’d really like to know how Sophia is reacting to this, emotionally.

“This is retarded.  Don’t fucking call me again until you’re ready to grow up,” Emma growled.

“Please,” Regent managed to pull off a pleading tone, but Emma was already hanging up.  He heard the dial tone and swore, “Fuck.”

Welp.

Well… seed of doubt has been planted, at least.
