You broke up her engagement.

SEAN


The dots disappear. Return. Disappear again. And then, finally, a text comes through.

SEAN

I didn’t break up her engagement. She said she almost wished her fiancé was cheating so she’d have a reason to end it. I told her that sounded like reason enough.

PATTY

Huh.

SEAN

Don’t “huh” me. You telling me if a pretty girl said she felt like she was suffocating in her relationship, you wouldn’t say something?

PATTY

Can’t help noticing you called her pretty.

SEAN

Stop changing the subject. You really trying to tell me you wouldn’t say something?

PATTY

I wouldn’t say something.

SEAN

Well, I’m not you. And I didn’t tell her what to do. I asked her what *she* was going to do about it.

PATTY

Right. And you did all this out of the goodness of your heart, even after swearing you’d never get in the middle of someone else’s relationship?

SEAN

I didn’t do anything. I don’t even know Kayla.

PATTY

You made an impression on her.

SEAN

I make an impression on a lot of people. I look like a grizzly bear with a mullet.

PATTY

I saw a picture of her online. I think she made an impression on you, too.

SEAN

Stop fishing. I’ll never see that woman again.
