Then Rosalynn picked up the phone in front of Wayne.
"Jacob?" She asked as she opened the line.
The signal was a bit spotty on the other end, with a lot of static.
"How'd you know it's me?" came Jacob's voice from the other end.
Rosalynn raised an eyebrow at Wayne, as if to say, I'm pretty smart, huh?
Wayne just laughed and gave her a thumbs up.d2
"At this hour, any unknown foreign number, I assume it's you," Rosalynn replied.
There was a dry laugh on the other end of the phone.
Then he went silent for a moment, "I just got some signal, saw the news about Erica online, is she okay?"
"What do you think?" Rosalynn retorted.
"She's not okay," Jacob said after a pause. "What the hell is Larkin doing? Why did he let her go through this just after they got married?"
"Don't be ridiculous," Rosalynn said, tapping on the table. "What does this have to do with Larkin?"
Jacob's breathing was somewhat heavy. There was wind noise from his end.
"Figure something out to comfort her," Jacob said.
"Jacob, are you hearing yourself? You want my wife to comfort your ex?" Wayne interrupted.
"You're there too?" Jacob asked surprised.
"We're together, it'd be weirder if we weren't at this hour," Rosalynn replied with a laugh.
Jacob was speechless.
He seemed to be in a much better state than the last time they saw each other.
"Alright, I don't want to interrupt your lovey-dovey time. Tomorrow morning, a pastry chef will deliver a cake. Just say you ordered it, she really loves that chef's cakes..."
