"That was Very Important Work and you know Soumaya would never have let me not go. Besides, me looking for wolves in Switzerland isn't as bold a statement as your hair is making right now." Skandar stretched out on the bed, throwing one hand against the pillow above his head. "Hilary Duff, huh?"
"Shut up, Skandar."
Grinning into the mouthpiece, Skandar made kissy noises down the phone. "Don't let her come on to you too hard, man. I like how Hollywood's working for you, but remember you're not exactly free merchandise."
There was silence. "I wish I was home."
"Liar," Skandar smiled. "But I appreciate the sentiment."
Another silence and Skandar closed his eyes, imagined he could see the old Will, sans weird hair, sitting on the end of his bed, eyes alight. "I miss you," he said, the words falling before he could convince himself not to say them.

"I love you too."
"Yeah, yeah. Get a hair cut."
