Ted nods in agreement at that. Beard has been a confidant and a pillar of support throughout this entire thing.
He looks at the time, and figures he might as well do that right now. He doesn't want to text though. If someone kidnapped him, they could easily take his phone and text people not to worry. (He really hates that he thinks like that now.)
So Ted calls Beard, who picks up right away, and yeah, he already sounds worried. Ted does his best to sound reassuring.
"Hey Coach, how's practice?" he asks, nodding a bit. "Uh-huh. Alright, that's good... Listen, I just wanted to let you know that Joan and I are going to take some time to ourselves until the gala, so I'm not gonna check my phone. ... No yeah, it's all good. We'll see you tomorrow, yeah? ... Alright, take care."
