Ignore Brian, let him go to voicemail.

}"What the...?"
"What is it?" Lisa asked.

"Good. I'm glad you're starting to see things my way."

"What is it?" Lisa asked.
"Brian's calling me. He should already be at work by now."
"Send him to voicemail. I'm sure it's nothing urgent." Lisa's voice was thick with contempt. {else
}"Huh. Why is Brian calling me?" Beth mused out loud.
"Send him to voicemail."
"I should just see what it is..." Beth's finger hovered over the button to switch over.

}Lisa did not think highly of Brian, especially not since she had told her about the new normal of their relationship. Lisa didn't think Brian deserved Beth; she was pleasant enough when it was the three of them together, but she got the feeling that Lisa was frosty to Brian whenever she left them alone together.
The two girls chatted a few more minutes before Beth said goodbye. "I'm going to need to get out of the tub at some point if I'm going out to lunch with you."
"Okay, bitch. See you then!"

Beth wrapped herself in a towel and let the water drain out as she popped downstairs to the kitchen. A little yogurt to get the metabolism going.
