Hello, son.
Martin says this goes straight to your phone.
I wanted to say I had a lovely time on Sunday.
It was good having you here.

And don’t worry about me asking to stay.
It was just a bad night.
I’m all right.

I know you turned the other calls off.
I don’t want you thinking I prefer them.
I know it isn’t you.

It’s just...
You’re busy. And it’s nearly you.
