[ Accidental Audio; ]

--course I asked myself why you never came to visit. People do, here, even-- well, you know.

[A pause.]

I know, and that's what I told myself. Which is probably why you're telling me, since I doubt you're really here.

[Another listening pause, and she laughs. Softly, sadly.]

I suppose not. But if you were, maybe I wouldn't have to second-guess myself.

[She lets out a breath, not quite a sigh.]

I am glad to see you. Or to imagine I'm seeing you, if that's all this is.

[A longer pause, and then quieter-- lower in pitch, too, that soft nostalgia failing--]

I know. I know.

[And, fortunately for Cameron, that's where the recording times out.]
