"Sorry I hung up like that the other day."
"What? No. It's okay, I didn't mean to offend you."
"No, no. It wasn't you. My stepmom was being a bitch, as usual."
"Stepmom? As in evil stepmom? Is this a fairytale?"
"Haha, you're hilarious as always. Yes, she's the incarnation of evil, but no, this is not a fairytale. Vanessa is just the worst person on Earth."
"I'd like to beg to differ, actually. The worst person on Earth is my dad."
"Hey, so we both have parent issues."
"Guess so. Is everything alright?"
"As alright as it can be. Ever since my dad married the momster, my house has been hell. I got used to it, but the other day was worse than usual."
"Wanna talk about it? I'm a stranger basically, and if you embarrass yourself you never have to talk to me again which I'll be very sad about but will understand."
"I won't lie — I'm tempted. But no, it's fine. Thank you though, Easton. I appreciate it."
"Anything for m'lady."
"Annnnnd, he's back."
