Chapter 19
Monday, 4:17pm
DOM: Why is the alarm going off?
BRAY: It's not...
DOM: Why WAS the alarm going off?
BRAY: False alarm.
DOM: I'm coming back.
BRAY: NO! The security company turned it off, don't worry. I need tampons, don't come back!
DOM: Why did it go off, Bray? Also, I swore we just bought you tampons the other day.
BRAY: I don't feel like using that brand. I discovered they support and fund a regime that has blatant disregard for the environment and animal rights in general. And I forgot the beams were on and I needed to feed Geraldine.
DOM: Geraldine... the porcupine???
BRAY: I forgot the key code and couldn't find my phone to take the security's call.
DOM: I thought you had stopped feeding the fucking porcupines!
BRAY: Do we really need sensor beams outside? Seems excessive to me.
DOM: Feeding wild animals seems excessive to me, yet here we are.
BRAY: Can you bring home some chocolate, too? Anything with caramel is good. And some ice cream.
DOM: There's a tub of ice cream in the freezer.
BRAY: *was...
Tuesday, 7:34pm
DOM: Alarm report from security company came through. You OK?
BRAY: Yes! SOry
DOM: Wtf
BRAY: GTA
DOM: Use your words, Mitchells, or I'm coming back.
BRAY: He set off the alarm climbing out a window. Can't find him now. I think the loud sound spooked him and he's hiding in the garden somewhere.
DOM: You are NOT pissing around in the bushes looking for that cat while it's dark.
BRAY: He's an indoor cat! He isn't used to outside! He's scared and alone and lost!
DOM: I'm coming back.
BRAY: Noooo, it's OK! I'll find him- you enjoy your rugby practice!
DOM: Too late, already turned around. I'll see you in 10.
Thursday, 8:56pm
DOM: Geraldine set off the perimeter alarm again?
BRAY: Maybe.
DOM: Security there?
BRAY: Maybe.
DOM: Did you forget the pass code again?
BRAY: No! I wouldn't forget it now that you changed it to something we both can remember easily.
DOM: Why is the company there then?
BRAY: Quality assurance?
DOM: Bray.
