"Aaaaa... I didn't forget. I just couldn't recognise your voice. And I didn't think you would actually contact me. I thought that the last meeting was about it. So your call came in as a surprise."
Quash tried his best to explain. He was surprised, but not at the same time. He kinda knew that Eleanor would contact him at some point because of her gossip hunger. But he was surprised about how she got his number.
Only three people had it: Elina, Alan, and Gabriella. But thinking for a moment, he reckoned that she must have gotten it from Elina or Alan.
[Why would you think that?]
"No reason. But where did you get my number from?"
He asked on the fly. Not thinking much about it. His mind was still occupied by the multitude of stuff he needs to do and he still found no lead.
[I asked Gabriella and she gave it to me! She is nicer than she looks! She is also very easy to get along with! To tell you the truth, I was kind of afraid of her you know... Her presence is scary. But—]
