"Hello?"

"Hi Del, how are you feeling?"

"Better."

"Did you get enough sleep last night?"

"I was out within ten minutes, did you leave the blanket and pillow?"

"I didn't want to wake you."

"Thank you."

"Promise me you won't go out alone?"

"I promise, I'll ask my mom to go to the shops with me after she gets off work."

"You never mentioned any of this to your parents?"

"I'm afraid of what they'll say."

"They can help you through this."

"And if they call the police? I'm terrified, Aaron."

"I'm going to see what I can do, but you should tell them."

"Alright."

"So what else are you planning on doing today?"

"Not much, on Sundays I usually walk around town in the afternoon but I'll have to wait until later."

"Do you want to go out and eat lunch? With me?"

"...yeah. Where are we going?"

"I was thinking the restaurant on 5th Avenue?"

"Okay, what time?"

"I'll pick you up in twenty minutes?"

"See you soon."
