"Hello?" Pt. 2

July 17th 2016

Ok, this is complicated. Kinda. Four characters to juggle, so here's how to differentiate. Take note of the punctuation and the type style.

"Sophie." - Speech marks in normal print. 

"Daniel." - Speech marks in bold.

<<Jasmine.>> - Arrows in normal print.

<<Nola.>> - Arrows in Bold.

Hopefully, that's clearer... if it isn't, let me know and I'll re-write it with the characters' names alongside.

<<Danny's phone.>>

"Hi, Nola. It's Sophie. Is Daniel around?"

<<He is, but he's busy.>>

"Busy? Doing what?"

<<He and Daddy are looking at engament rings.>>

"Engament rings?"

<<Mhm, because Danny says that Daddy needs to get one.>>

"An... oh! An engagement ring!"

<<That's what I said.>>

"Wait, is Elias planning on proposing?"

<<What's proposing?>>

"Sweetheart, is Daniel around? Tell him it's really important I talk to him, ok?"

<<But he's busy.>>

"This is way more important."

<<-Danny!->>

"-Nola, darling, you shouldn't shout like that. What's wrong, love?-"

<<-Nothing's wrong. Auntie Sophie wants to talk to you.->>

"-Ah, ok. How about you go and look at some of the pretty jewels with your daddy and I'll talk to Auntie Sophie, ok?-"

<<-Ok.- I have to go now, Auntie Sophie. Bye!>>

"Bye, Nola!"

"Hey, Soph?"

"Elias is buying an engagement ring?!"

"Did Nola tell you that?"

"I think that's what she was trying to say, yeah."

"Well, he's not buying one."

"But he's looking to buy one?"

"..."

"He's proposing?!"

<<Who is proposing? Oh, God, Sam isn't getting any ideas,is he?>>

"Oh, Jesus."

"-No, Jas, he's not proposing. Elias is buying a ring for Jenna.- Isn't that right, Daniel?"

"No one is buying anyone an engagement ring!"

"He is. -Jasmine, he is.-"

<<-Well, as long as no one is putting a ring on my finger any time soon, I'm down with whatever is or is not going on.->>

"Does that mean Samuel should take the Chopard diamond back to the shop?"

"What?! Sam bought Chopard?"

<<-Chopard? Oh, Hell, forget what I just said. I'll take that bling!->>

"-He's joking. Sam hasn't been near Chopard.- Wait, has he?"

"No, he hasn't."

"Damn it, I majorly got my hopes up."

"Well, bring those hopes down. The only people engaged here is you and I."

"Pity."

"Mhm."

<<-Uncle Danny! Daddy wants you to look at this ring for Mummy!->>

"I knew it! Elias is proposing!"

"Sh!"

"Oh, it's not like Jenna can hear me. When is he doing it?"

"There's nothing to do."

"Daniel, c'mon!"

"I have to go."

"No!"

"Bye, Soph."

"Daniel, come back!"

"Can't. Got to go!"

"But-"
