"What's up, buttercup?"

"Where are you right
now?"

"Out, walking Alexei
— why? What's going
on?"

*sighs*
"You know about my
mom?"

"That pathetic excuse
of a human being, that
decided her drugs
were more important
than her husband and
son? That one I know
of. What happened?"

"She called yesterday.."

"..She did what?"

"She called me
yesterday, during dinner."

"Yeah, I heard you.
How the hell- tell me
everything."

"Vi dropped a bottle of
water during dinner
and it spilled on my
clothes so I went to dry
it off, he came with me.
All of a sudden the
only landline we still
have in the house rang.
I don't think it had been
used in years-"

"Bub, you're rambling.
Take a breath — what
happened when you
picked up?"

"I didn't, Vi did. He
talked to her for like a
minute or so and then
he told me she was
on the line."

"Well, what did she
say?"

"She said she saw me
on the internet. Carrie,
she told me she
wanted to meet up?"

"That absolute bitch.
The absolute nerve she
has, just because she
saw you flash by on
some news outlet,
doesn't give her any
right to reach out
again."

"Carrie.."

"I'm sorry, El. I'm just
pissed. What did you
say?"

"I told her she wasn't
my mother and I didn't
want to meet her. What
if that was a mistake?
What if she really
wanted to reach out?"

"You want my honest
opinion?"

"Please."
