For me though, it's because I feel majorly uncomfortable talking on the phone and because I don't pay to see her and I know she's really busy so I'd feel uncomfortable taking up her time...but if I paid for it, I'd want my moneys worth.
You're right, Bells. I'm going to believe her. In the very beginning she said, "I want you to talk to me every time you want to." (Or something like that.) But I never took her literally. I'm like you, I know she's really busy.

I worry about being too much for her. If that ever becomes the case, I trust she will tell me.

I'm just surprised. I feel it's very generous and caring of her.
