Tara stands at the island in her kitchen, making ramen in a pot while she's texting with her girlfriend, Amber.
Amber:
"You should come over."
Tara smiles at the text.
Tara:
"Oh really? And do what?"
Amber:
"Fun...stuff. :)"
Tara grins at the text from Amber while stirring the ramen.
Tara:
"My mom said I can't leave . YOU should come over HERE.
"And do the aforementioned stuff."
Amber:
"Convince me?"
As Tara is about to text back, she hears the landline ring. She ignores it, going back to her conversation.
Tara:
"No parents. Free dinner. Many binge watch options."
Amber:
"Gotta do better."
Tara takes the phone, puts it under her shirt, and takes a picture and sends it to Amber.
Amber:
"SOLD!!"
Tara laughs at the text as she hears the landline ring again. She groans.
Tara:
"Fucking landline won't stop ringing. Robocalls."
Amber:
"I hate how they clone numbers that are close to yours to make you pick up."
Tara:
"This one is a blocked number."
Amber:
"Robocalls don't use blocked numbers anymore. Probs someone calling for your mom."
Tara realizes she should probably take it if it's for her mom. She walks over and picks up the phone.
"Hello?" Tara says as she picks up the phone.
A kind voice talks all of a sudden.
"Hello. Is Christina there?"
"Sorry, she's not available . May I take a message?" Tara responds.
"Is this her daughter?" The voice responds back with a question to her question.
"May I take a message?" Tara asks again, slightly annoyed this time.
"Sorry, yeah. I'm a friend from her...shit." The person says, slipping up at the end.
"From her shit?" Tara chuckles.
"Um, just tell her I'm from group. I'm Charlie. She has my number."
"She goes to a group?"
All that Tara hears for a moment is silence.
"Look, I shouldn't have... just tell her that Charlie called."
"I will do just that, Charlie, once you tell me what kind of group we're talking about."
"I don't think I can-" The voice gets cut off by Tara.
"AA? NA? If so, it's about time-" Tara says getting cut off as well at the end by the person on the phone.
"I'm really sorry I bothered you." The voice says.
"Does she talk about me in this group?" Tara asks.
There's another long silence, in which time she texts Amber.
Tara:
"Dude, I think this is my mom's new boyfriend."
