Summary
Hailey has to keep reminding herself this change is temporary. A temporary new partner. A temporary new city. NYC is fun, it's new, but it's not home. It’s not permanent. Jay’s calls and texts only remind her of that.
Jay, though? He’s not temporary. He’s permanent. He's home. And somehow, the distance only makes that more obvious.
OR -- Hailey and Jay learn exactly what absence does when you’re already falling.

Summary
Hailey wakes up to Jay’s grin on her phone screen, the familiar chime of a FaceTime call pulling her from sleep. Street lights spilling into the dim hotel room tell her it's dark out, and she slides across the screen to answer, trying to look more awake than she feels.
Of course, he doesn't buy it, not that she expected him to. He knows what she looks like, fresh from sleep, even if it was only one night.
She expects a greeting as the call connects and his face fills her screen, but all she hears is his easy, low chuckle.
OR -- a tiny return to the YHBOTHL universe.
