[ this is the sound of legitimate relief. ]

Okay. Good. [ she sits down. obviously yancy's okay. raleigh wouldn't pretend otherwise, right? ] That's good.

[ she hangs her head, lips pressed together and why the hell is she shaking? yancy's fine. clearly. ]

Look uh. Thanks.

I just wanted to check. Thanks, Raleigh.

[ there's a distinct pause. a long one.

it's not her place to say. yancy's always been so determined to keep things private and close to the chest, and she respects that. she really does. but she also cares, and maybe raleigh's got more right than she to tell yancy that he needs to open up. to talk to his brother.

sorry yance. she'd keep her mouth shut, but she loves you a lot and sometimes, when you love someone, you overstep your bounds a little because you want them to be okay. ]


It's not my place to say [ a breath ] but you're his brother and maybe [ her voice hitches a little how is this so hard ] he needs help, Raleigh.

Yancy's been having night terrors. And panic attacks. And I tried to get him to talk about it but he- [ she kills the cigarette on her ashtray and switches the phone to her other hand, leans forward because it feels like she shouldn't be doing this but it has to be done ] It's none of my business as far as he's concerned, and maybe he's right.

But your brother he... he means a lot to me.

And if there's anyone who can get through to him. I just figured it would be you.

[ She's nodding her head when she realizes, this isn't a video call, Raleigh can't see her acknowledging what he's said ( everything she's told him now feels utterly superfluous — we're working on it, he'd said — but that's okay; that's good. And it doesn't matter what part she played in it happening, if she had to lose him so that he would be okay, that's something she can live with.

She exhales, and if there's tremor in it, so what? ]
Like I said. He means a lot to me.

You're a good brother, Raleigh. [ That last bit slips out before she can think twice. And she shakes her head, of course he's a good brother, Naomi, now put down the phone before you embarrass yourself further. ]

Well. I won't take up any more of your time.

[ It's weird that Raleigh's acknowledgement of how she feels for Yancy helps ease the building pressure from behind her eyes. But it does. ] Precisely why you're a good brother.

No problem. [ She debates, and then adds. ] Take care, Raleigh.
