Hey there, lovely. Look, I'm really sorry that I missed Valentine's Day. I. Really have no excuse.
So, uh, call me back? I was wondering if you just wanted to spend the night in. I'll cook? Or something, lets not get ahead of myself, I can really cook eggs and rice. So, yes.
(it's a bunch of drawings that are obviously of her laying around cross' apartment, but it's underneath any stuff that she might have left over at his place and some lilies.
there's no note.)

[ whether or not he picks up, there's going to be upset, borderline hysteric shouting -- either at him or at his voicemail -- and it goes something like this: ]
Ah, Ms. Crawley... This is Kurt Wagner. I apologize for the potentially-abrubt nature of this call. I-- I suppose that with Hank's departure, I'm reflecting more upon how I spend my time here. I'm afraid that I've been socially neglectful, even to those of our own world and to what bit of mutant-kind remains here. I should like to remedy that, if possible.
That is to say... If you would like to talk at some point, I am here. I would hate to waste a potential friendship. It could be over at any moment here, after all.
[ this is a pleasant surprise. when calling back: ]
Hey, hon. It's Lil. Y'still headin' out tonight? Been itchin' t'get outta the house anyway, so I figure might as well have fun, right? Who y'with? Anybody I know?
Hey, Lil, it's Matt. I'm sure you don't really want to hear from me right now, but. It'd be nice to hear from you sometime, and I-
[A deep sigh heaved on the other line.]
I don't know. I can't say I'm not still upset. You're smart enough to know it'd be a lie, anyway. I mean it, Lil, I can't do this with somebody else involved in the mix. Whatever this is.
[Especially not Frank. Not even if their relationship is semi-functional and not so antagonistic as it used to be, not even if they're technically working together.]
But I'm sorry I threw you out. I shouldn't- I should have thought better of it. That wasn't right. And I think...maybe I owe you some explanations, too.
[God, but he doesn't even know how to begin that.]
[ It takes her a while. She's not usually a nervous person by nature, but something about seeing the voicemail and knowing it's him but not knowing what to expect makes it difficult to listen to the recording. She puts it off for a few hours, and maybe she only gives in because she's missed hearing his voice.
It's impulsive, when she calls him back. If she thinks about it too hard... She has no solutions. But she wants to call him, so she does. Waiting for the ringing to stop makes her restless, and she paces until he answers. Then, simply, and a bit quietly: ]
Kate Kane wants to know if we have plans for the 24th. I'm not sure why I'm the plans person in this relationship, but apparently she thinks I am. Do we have room in our schedule for putting our clothes back on and going out?
