"Hey."
"Are you okay? Jess told me you weren't at work today."
"If I'm being honest, I'm not completely okay. God, it feels good to say that aloud."
"Do you want to tell me what happened?"
". . . You're crying."
". . ."
"What happened? Who hurt you?"
"Nothing, I'm fine. Just a cold, my allergies are going crazy lately. Don't worry about me."
"Don't lie to me, Charlotte, who did this to you?"
"Nobody, I'm fine."
"You just said you weren't fine."
"I changed my mind."
"Babe, we're friends, remember? Friends tell each other this kind of stuff, like the stuff that makes you cry."
"This is different."
"Charlotte, if you don't tell me why you're crying then I'm going to Jess and Leo and ask where you live so I can help you out."
"Don't do that."
"I'm going to."
"Asher!"
"What?"
"Why?"
"You deserve the best, that's why."
"You don't know a lot about me and my life. It's complicated."
"Trust me, I know a lot about you."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means that I want you to be happy. I don't like to hear you like this and it worries me. I care about what happens to my girl."
"Thank you, Ash."
"Anytime. I'll always be here, babe."

"What is this boy doing to me?"
