joshua and i are on the phone when his door bell rings.

"i hope that's the mailman. he better have my letter."

"what if he doesn't?"

"i'm suing the postal office for taking so damn long. the college said it's been sent out and they can't tell me if i got accepted or not."

"that's bullshit. they sent it."

"i know right. student confidentially."

"YOURE THE STUDENT."

"I KNOW DAMN."

the door bell rings again.

"hello?"

"joshua dun?"

"hi. yes. me."

"this is for you."

"thanks."

"and this is for laura dun."
