Dylan had been staring at her phone for what felt like hours, but in reality, had only been about a minute or so. After the last awkward conversation with her father, if she could even call him that anymore, she was hesitant to reach out again. Sure, it was his birthday, but things were so different between them. The relationship the two of them used to share, the bond Dylan had depended on for so many years, it felt like it would never be repaired. Somehow, Dylan was still the one paying for her mother’s mistake. Eyes still glued to her phone, thumb hovering over the green call button, the brunette couldn’t help but sigh. “Probably doesn’t even want to hear from me anyway,” she mumbled, though she made no movement to put the phone away.
