"No phones at the table Carter."

"It's Brent."

"Good. I should answer. Hello?"

"Look out the window."

"Okay."[I go over to the window there's a pickup truck outside Brent gets out I go outside and say:]"What is this?"

"This is our date. My cousins are gonna be with us and we're going to go mudding."

"We're in the middle of dinner."

"Oh god. I'm sorry I didn't know."

"Come here."[Brent comes over we hug tightly I kiss his cheek and say:]"It's great. I can see if I can ditch. Thank you for being there when I need you and even when I pushed you away. You're my best friend Brent."
