Unknown number: Happy Friday, beautiful.
Anah: Happy Friday to you too, Honey Bun.
Unknown number: So, I see you and Haley are friends again.
Anah: She thinks I’ve been… what was the phrase? Notebooked?
Unknown number: I’m guessing you didn’t tell her that you think it sucks.
Anah: I value my life, thank you very much.
Unknown number: I value it too.
Anah: I’ll remember that.
Unknown number: Please do. Anyway- How’s life?
Anah: Life is good. But…
Unknown number: But what?
Anah: I’m going away tonight and I won’t be back until late Sunday.
Unknown number: Where are you going?
Anah: To my stay with my Grandparents. They have a cabin up near the woods.
Unknown number: Ah… the woods where there is no cell phone reception. Those woods, you mean?
Anah: Yep, those woods.
Unknown number: So we can’t message each other?
Anah: Well, you can message me, but I won’t receive them until I’m home.
Anah: You better message me every day! Just because I won’t get them until Sunday doesn’t mean you can slack!
Unknown number: Whoa! You sound like an addict, Babe.
Anah: Hey, you’re the drug.
Unknown number: Can’t get enough of me, huh?
Anah: Maybe…
Unknown number: Just admit it- You cannot resist me.
Anah: I cannot resist you.
Unknown number: And you think I’m the most amazing guy in the world…
Anah: And I think you are the most amazing guy in the world.
