Dear Katie,

JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T ANSWER MY PHONE WHEN YOU CALLED, IT DOESN'T MEAN I WAS SCREENING YOU.

Please. Stop. Go back. Did you read that first sentence? Yes?

READ IT AGAIN.

I was at a work holiday party last night, and didn't think it appropriate to answer my phone while sitting at a four-star restaurant with a table full of executives, which is why I turned my ringer off.

It's nothing personal, really, because I didn't answer anyone's calls. And you were only calling because you were bored while you were driving. Perhaps if you had a severed your jugular vein, I would have answered, or at the very least I would have checked my voicemail and returned the call. But if that was the case, I have a feeling you wouldn't be calling ME.

I am sure you understand.

Love,
Jes
