Simon Idzik: Hey, where are you?
Cassie Belford: I just finished an appointment with Dr. Maharaj.
Simon Idzik: You went? Cass, that's great!
Cassie Belford: Jesus, Simon. don't piss yourself over it. I did a few assessments and a brief consultation. It's no big deal.
Simon Idzik: Okay, okay. What did you think of her?
Cassie Belford: No immediate red flags. I'm going again next week.
Simon Idzik: Proud of you.
Cassie Belford: Yeah, okay. Whatever you say.
Cassie Belford: Have you heard anything from Wes?
Simon Idzik: No.
Simon Idzik: Why? I thought you didn't want to see him.
Cassie Belford: He stopped messaging and calling yesterday morning. There's a selfish part of me that didn't want him to give me space. Even though that's exactly what I asked him to do. But the rational part of me, most of me, knows that it's for the best.
Cassie Belford: I'm glad he understands. He leaves for his meeting in Edmonton soon.
Simon Idzik: Well he clearly cares. I think he's just trying to figure out what's the right thing to do.
Cassie Belford: Aren't we all.

Weston Maguire: Hi Cassie, this is Lena, one of Weston's friends. I hope it's okay that I'm messaging you, because he was in a pretty bad fight. If you can, I think you should come to the police station on Stuart Street. Wes is being held there. He might be charged with assault. Peter and I are driving almost there now.
Cassie Belford: What?
Cassie Belford: Assault? What happened?
Weston Maguire: I don't know. It's all really messy.
Cassie Belford: Is he okay?
Weston Maguire: Nothing serious. Maybe some cracked ribs, but he was upright when the police showed up. Not to sound cliché, but you should see the other guy. Lot of blood.
