A phone rings.

Hello?

A radio is playing over the line. The low rumble of an engine can be heard as background noise. Despite the interference, the lyrics of the song playing come through clearly.

...Girl when I ask you to trust me
That doesn't mean that I'm gonna cheat on you
Cuz I'm gonna never do anything to hurt you
Or mislead you, I love you...

A slight rustling sound as the caller turns down the radio and brings the phone closer to himself to speak.

I just wanted you to hear this song and I wanted to tell you that I love you.

The listener's eyes soften and a smile melts onto her lips as she responds.

I was just thinking about how much I love you too.

Not much more is said between the two except for wishes for a goodnight and sweet dreams as the song continues to play in the background while the conversation draws to a close.

...Baby I'm so tired of the way you turn my words into
Deception and lies
Don't misunderstand me when I try to speak my mind
I'm only saying what's in my heart

...Cupid doesn't lie
But you won't know unless you give it a try
Oh baby, true love
won't lie but we won't know unless we give it a try

...Ain't no doubt about it
Lord no, I really mean it
I rather die before, before I lie to you
Never wanna leave you
Ain't no life without you
Never gonna leave, never gonna go, no...
