“IT’S ME, ’Milio. It’s really important that you call me back. It doesn’t matter what time it is here in Rome, just call me.” Beep. “Chelsea, it’s Emilio again. There’s something wrong with your phone at home and I can’t get through. As soon as you get this message, call me. Day or night.” Beep. “Chelsea. Where are you? If you’re in the office, pick up the phone.” Beep. “Chelsea, It’s three in the morning here, and I can’t put this off any longer. I didn’t want to leave this on your answering machine, but … I can’t marry you. I can’t do it—I’m sorry. I’ve canceled my plane ticket. I’m not coming on Saturday. I met a woman, Chels. I swear to God, I didn’t mean for this to happen, but … I fell in love. I know you’re probably never going to talk to me again, but call me, all right? Just … call me.” Chelsea sat at her desk, pressing the replay button on her answering machine and playing the series of messages from Emilio again and again.
