The phone rings for the first time in a month. For a month, it's been silent because the only person who ever called you was Jason --- and things with him had ended up too quickly and too hard.

"Hey." Jason's voice is dry, humorless when you finally pick up. No contact has been hard on him. "Uh... just called to y'know, check how you're doing."

He sounds... lifeless. Like all brightness in his life had been taken away with the relationship --- and it felt like this for him. You've left a gap.
