"Oh good, because I did need that reminder." She smiles as she says it, the fondness and the love she feels for her brother audible in her voice. Without even noticing, she holds onto the phone a little tighter, as if that will bring Klaus closer to her. As if somehow they're not across the country from each other, after being each other's safety in so many ways for so damn long.
God, she misses him so much. She is aware of that piece of herself that she knows it's missing, no matter how much she has been trying to get lost in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. It's never really satisfying, never truly good enough. One day she'll realize it's because she's not really herself, not really, and that she misses her family more than she'll ever be ready to admit. But, god, in this moment...if she could somehow show up there and hug him, she would. She also probably wouldn't let go without at least attempting to drag him with her back to Los Angeles. She still regrets not insisting more, she hates that she gave up so easily. Some days she even hates not Rumoring him to come with her. But...she had respected his choice, even if it makes her miss him every damn day.
The sounds of the coins make her frown again, but Klaus is quick to say he was just out and about and decided to call her. Which is believable enough, even when she was there Klaus knew well enough how to sneak out to 'find' what he needed to get, so...maybe he's on one of those outings. The concern for him doesn't disappear at that, though, because Allison will never stop worrying about him. Not really. Not when she will be forever afraid of the phone call being someone else, giving her news that she's not ready to hear.
"No, no you didn't wake me. I was just reading something, nothing important."
It really isn't. It doesn't hold a candle to this, and she'll be quick to tell him as much if she needs to.
"I'm good. I'm finally working in what I want to do, and it's been good. Not what I expected," she admits with a huff of a laugh, one that is a little more wry than humorous. "But things are looking up. I have a place you can crash whenever you're finally ready to take me up on my offer." She says it teasingly, gently because she doesn't want to come across as pushy. But...well. She can't help it. "I miss you, Klaus."
