"This is awkward..."

"No shit. Now who are you?"

"I'm August. Who are you?"

"Ace, Audrey's brother."

"Oh...you mean the one from Canada?"

"No."

"..."

"Yes, dumbass. I'm her only brother."

"Ok...well...can I speak to—"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Because she can't come to the phone right now."

"I need to speak to her, please. If you just—"

"Audrey. Isn't. Available."

"I was literally talking to her like...not even half an hour ago. It'll be quick, I promise."

"..."

"Please."

"..."

"...fine. Two minutes. That's it."

"Yes! Thank you!"

"..."

"..."

"...August?"

"Before you say ANYTHING—I just want you to know—"

"I know."

"What?"

"I know."

"Know what?"

"About Cindy."

"...what do you know about her?"

"That she isn't real."

"W-Wha...how? How did—"

"..."

"Why are you laughing?"

"Because. You're a bad lier. The Lotus only allows people of 21 and older into their restaurant. They serve wine with every meal and it's part casino."

"Oh...right. I forgot about that..."

"Yeah."

"Look Audrey, I'm sorry."

"For what? You didn't do anything wrong."

"I thought you were mad at me."

"Why would I be mad at you?"

"You sounded upset on the phone and you hung up and you said that we shouldn't talk anymore."

"That was some good acting huh?"

"..."

"You've."

"Got."

"To."

"Be."

"Kidding."

"Me.

"Nope! I've been laughing for like 15 minutes straight waiting to see what you would do. Andddd it looks like you poured your heart out to my brother."

"I feel like I've just been hit by a semi."

"Ah come onnnn. Remember how I said there's a lot of things you don't know about me? When I was a kid I took acting classes and wanted to become an actor."

"Welp..."

"..."

"Now you know my secret."

"That you loooooooo—"

"Times up."
