I knew it! You little shit! I can't believe you. Actually, I can completely believe you. You do

realize that you're completely deranged, don't you?

I reply. Guilty as charged. It's true. I did talk to you at first to fuck with him. But once I got to know you, hell, after that first conversation, it was all about you. I wanted to be around you so badly. I would have done anything.

Yeah, me too. I'm sorry it took me so long to figure it out.

I should have been more patient. I love you Ally. I miss you.

I miss you too.

Tell me everything about the movie. I don't care if it seems boring. I want to hear it.

She replies. Well, it was pretty ordinary. We shot a lot of scenes in what was supposed to be my character's apartment. It was so cramped, and it was decorated in this awful mix of teal and salmon. You wouldn't believe the clothes wardrobe put me in. In this one scene, I was wearing a petticoat.

That sounds amazing.

It was kind of amazing. But even if it was light, I enjoyed it. It was nice to have a little more fun with acting. I forgot about that for a little while, getting so stressed out about Model Citizen premiering. I think I'm finally getting back in the swing of things.

I respond. I'm glad.

It was therapeutic. It was good to get out of my head for a little while. To get away from everything.

So you didn't think about things?

Not yet... Can we just talk for now? About anything besides the future?

I respond. Okay. As long as we'll get to the future eventually.

We will. How are things? How is Samantha?

I'm awful, but I'm managing. Ryan is driving me crazy. He keeps offering to buy out my half of the business, but I don't want to give it to him.

She replies. You should. You have plenty of money. You can start over. He can be out of our lives permanently.

Yeah, but... I'll think about it. I've been reading a little. This cultural studies book about Starbucks's branding.

Really?

I used to read that kind of thing all the time. All these things you wouldn't think end up being true. Like the drinks being expensive is part of what adds to the experience. It makes it feel like a treat.

I'd never consider that.

I reply. I hate to admit it, but I haven't been doing great without you. I can't stop thinking about you. I don't want to pressure you. I really want you to have as much time and space as you need, but I'm going crazy feeling like I fucked things up. Like everything is ruined.

It's not, I promise. But can we save that kind of heavy stuff for later? I want to talk to you and remember how happy you can make me.

You should come over. We'll watch Monk and take tequila shots.

So we can argue over which assistant is better?

Yeah, I like arguing with you. You're passionate.

She replies. I can't believe you don't like The Philadelphia Story.

I'm sorry, but I don't find jokes about domestic violence humorous.

It's a product of the times.
