[ Her hands are shaking when she finally gathers the courage to dial Raleigh's number. Don't ask her how she has it, she doesn't want to talk about how, one time he'd been in her shower and his phone had been right there on the table when a call had come in and it's not like she'd intended to look, she just had to know if it was someone important.
She doesn't want to talk about how when the phone stopped ringing it was right there in her hands and maybe she opened it up, wrote down Raleigh's ( and then Tendo's, because Tendo was kind of Yancy's other best friend, right? ) number in case she needed it for an emergency.
( This was about the time when Yancy started staying over more, when Naomi realized his night terrors weren't a one-time thing but how do you offer to help when you're just dating and not really sure what you guys are - Are we together? Is this official? Do people know about us? The safe answer is always, "no." )
This isn't an emergency - not really, but she hasn't seen Yancy in two weeks and she's too proud to try and contact him and too scared to try because she keeps on replaying that night in her head, how everything went from bad to worse and shit she needs a cigarette.
She's trying to light up when she realizes that Raleigh's picked up, has said Hello? Anyone there? Hello? I'm sorry, 'fraid I can't hear you, about twice now. ]
H-hello. Um. [ She starts to sit down on the edge of the bed and decides the floor is better. Steadier. ] Is this Raleigh Becket?
