♥ : for a loving voicemail
[10:18 A.M.]
“I found the note. The one in my pocket. I would imagine that you’re not answering because you’re completely terrified of what this all means. I am, too. I’ve spent the last two years walking on a thin rope, two hundred feet in the air, and I am more scared of what this means than I ever was of that. But I do. I… I love you. I love your sleepy voice in the morning. I love your laugh. I love your humor. I love that you play with my hair to help me fall asleep. I love that you’re logical and grounded. I love that you make me feel safe. I love your thoughts and insights. I love your butt. I love your family values. I love your voice. I love your accent and how it can’t decide whether it wants to be English or American. I love you, Joel. I’m terrified, but I’ve never felt more sure about anything before.”
✉: for a ‘BIG NEWS!’ voicemail
[10:18 A.M.]
“Hey, it’s Bella… I have… Uh, big news. I don’t know how to say it so… I’m just going to say it. I… I took a pregnancy test this morning. I’m pregnant… I’m kidding–I’m totally kidding. I hope you’re still alive on the other end. I’m definitely not pregnant. But I do have good news! Guess who got a job? Bella Page did! And it’s one I think I’ll really like, too. I’ll tell you about it when I see you.”

And I w– I went out and I’m d-I’m drunk and I’m sad and I– I don’t know wh-where I am. I didn’t kn-know who else to call.”
