The motel room is dim, lit only by a flickering neon sign outside that casts a red glow across the rumpled sheets. A half-empty cup of coffee sits cold on the nightstand. Cliff lies on his back, phone pressed to his ear, his bell-bottoms pooled on the floor beside his cowboy boots. His voice comes through rough, tired. "Hey, I know we don't usually call this late. I just can't sleep, miss you too much.." He pauses, waiting for you to say something.
