  "How have you been about your brother?" Zoey stirs her coffee with a spoon, watching the black turn into light brown.
  "..U-Um. Okay, I guess. It has been a few months. I.. he was struggling a lot. I wish I.. I noticed.."
"Jord, I'm sorry," Zoey whispers as she holds Jordans hand. "Maybe someday you'll see him again somehow."
Jordan's heart flutters with hope; if that dead bastard she once knew found a way to talk to his brother on Earth, she knows Jayden can, too.
  Maybe he already has.
  Jordan's phone rings in her pocket and she stands. "Sorry, I gotta answer this."

  "You cheated!"
  "How do you cheat at Mario Cart??" I laugh, tossing the controller. Noah shrugs and rests his head on my shoulder.
  "I love you," Noah whispers.
  "I love you, too," I say back. I stare at the "PLAYER 1 WINS" screen before looking back at Noah. "You wanna go talk to Jordan?"
  "Through the phone again?"
  "Well, yeah. It was kind of static-y last time, but it'll buff," I giggle.
  "Your phone is also ancient." Noah pulls out his own phone. "Mine should work better."
  "You literally fantasize a phone, idiot. We're dead. My phone isn't ancient."
  "Focus, baby," Noah chuckles, "we're calling your sister."
