Put away. Back away. All away. Apart. Hello.

[He's struggling hard here, and that last word comes out when he means to say something else and it's chilling to the bone.]

Hello?

[She doesn't understand. She wants to tell him that she doesn't understand why he said that -- but she thinks maybe he is worried about her being with someone because Sherlock kept telling her how good it was that she was not with someone.]

Apart. All apart. Hello?

[jumpthegun]

Pull apart. Hello! Hello? Hell... o. Pull apart. Safe. Hello.

[It just keeps getting worse.]

[ecks]

Apart. Safe, apart. Safe. Safe? Safe.

[Does he understand? She can't say it any more clearly.]

[jumpthegun]

[He... thinks he understands.]

Safe. Safe now. Hello.

[ecks]

Hello.

[She can't say more, but can't say goodbye -- she tries.]

O-hel. Safe.

[And she hangs up. She learned that from Bucky.]
