My phone number -- is in the book. That you lost it doesn't bode well, I'm fearful. Nor that you didn't think of contacting me earlier about this. I think you're edging out. Especially since contact has dwindled since the weekend. If so, I'd prefer not to call you.

If I'm wrong and am misreading these anecdotal clues, I'm heartened, and let me know. But otherwise, farewell.
