"Don't be sorry. I'll check it." Ivan reassured her. He hit the button on the answering machine, playing back the message they received. Upon hearing the voice, Ivan smiled. "That's Mom." The phone rang again. He picked it up swiftly. "Hello? Hi, Susan... No, I'm not sick... I wasn't at work today because I'm getting married... Bye." Ivan hung up. "People seem to worry when I don't show up at work." Ivan pointed out, sitting back down. "It would be nice if you called my mother back; Talking to you would mean a lot to her." Ivan chuckled. "She hasn't even heard your voice, but her expectations are high. She won't be dissapointed."
