"Whoa, you actually did it."

"Holy fuck, you're British."

"Born and raised, Karen."

"Honestly I expected you to sound like a 60 year smoker, Ed."

"Nope, only 21."

"Really? You sound 16 tbh."

"Anyways, how are you?"

"Eh, for some reason I can't fall asleep."

"Did you have any sweets or coffee before going to bed?"

"No, just popcorn and an afternoon binge watching Supernatural and Sherlock."

"That seems like a fun afternoon."

"Yeah, it was. What did you do, Edward?"

"Well Karen, I was getting makeup put on me and acting."

"O, you're an actor? That's cool."

"Indeed."

"What's your real name by the way? You don't sound like an Ed."

"I'm Tom. How about yourself?"

"Marley, nice to finally know your name Tom."

"I like that, Marley."

"What, my name?"

"No, how you say my name."

"Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom-"

"Okay okay, that's enough Marley."

"...."

"...."

"Can you just... talk about something random?"

"Why?"

"I- um... I like the sound of your voice."

"Really? You do?"

"Yeah. And sorry if I fall asleep on you when you speak."

"Well, I earlier today my friend and I were messing around on set. We got a bunch of pennies and hid them in random areas so when people opened them they'd just fall out."

"Mhm, that's funny."

"And later on we went to Starbucks. We started talking about random shit, and yeah, you sort of came into the conversation."

"Oh, really?"

"Y-Yeah. She asked who I was texting and I said you, but then I realized I didn't know your name so I just lamely said 'someone.' But now I do and that's all that matters."

"...."

"Marley?"

"...."

"Goodnight, love."
