“Hey babe”

“Hey Babe? HEY BABE?” FUCK OFF…how dare you have the audacity to call me after ignoring my calls and texts for hours.

“I’m sorry”

“SORRY?!! SERIOUSLY. It’s not that hard to send a simple text, even if you didn’t want to talk”

“My phone died and I charged it as soon as I got down from the tree stand”

“After nine years, I will always be second the the woods and the deer”

“Ellerie, I need you to know that you’re number one. You always have been.”

“Yeah right, Nick.”

“Elle, I mean it. I’ve messed up so many things I’m my life, but you are the one thing that makes my heart sing.”

“Awww babe. How can I stay mad at you?”

“You can’t. I wish I could see your face one last time.”

“Whaddya mean…I’ll see you in 15 min.”

“No, Elle, you won’t, I fell. And my rifle accidentally went off when I landed on the ground.

*Ellerie sobbing*

“Elle, I’m shot. And I’m bleeding. And I’m not going to make it back to you.”

“Nick! Where are you? I’ll send help…omg I’m so sorry. I love you. Where are you?”

“Ellerie. I love you with all of my heart and soul. And you were right, we should name the baby after you mother. I love you both so…”

“Nick?!! NICK!!!!!!! Noooooooooo!!!!”

*sirens coming through the open line fill Ellerie’s ears, but she’s knows it’s too late. He’s gone*
