[QUOTE="Karin, post: 83662, member: 57167"] Pam sighed before picking up the phone. She didn’t really feel like talking to her brother since they didn’t exactly part on good terms. But knowing that he had taken the first step to patch things up she knew that she at least owed him a call back. Besides even if he could be selfish at times he was the only brother she’d ever had and she had missed him when she was in Los Angeles. So she knew that she really must try to fix this relationship. Pam dialed Cliff’s number and waited for him to pick up the phone. He did after three rings. “Hello!” “Hi Cliff, it’s me!” “Pam?” “Yes, Christopher told me you’ve stopped by to see me when I was in Houston…” “I did,” Cliff confirmed before they went quiet. The siblings both had so much to say to each other and yet they struggled to find the words. Eventually Pam said, “I must say I was a bit surprised to hear that, I mean after I saw you at the apartment I wasn’t sure where we stood…” “Look Pam, about that, I’m sorry that I reacted badly to the news about you and Bobby. It’s just that it was such a shock for me to see you that afternoon. I guess it all become a bit much to take in at once…” “It’s okay Cliff. Maybe I should have tried to call before going to see you but I wanted to surprise you…” “Well it was a surprise all right!” Cliff chuckled. “Good surprise or bad surprise?” “Definitely a good surprise,” Cliff said to Pam’s relief. “I’m glad, so is that why you’ve been trying to reach me?” “Yeah I figured life’s too short to let silly things come between us.” “I agree,” Pam smiled. “So do you wanna meet up again?” “Yeah I was hoping you’d say that. I know this is kind of last minute, but I was wondering if you and Bobby and the kids would like to have dinner with Afton, Becky and me tonight?” Cliff asked.
