E: "Hey Aeryn! I saw this really cool thing that I thought you'd love and I - Aeryn?"
A: "Hey, Eli."
E: "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
A: "It doesn't matter."
E: "Of course it matters! Tell me what's wrong, I can help!"
A: "You can't."
E: "I can't even try if you don't tell me."
A: "She died two years ago today."
E: "Who?"
A: "I came home and she was just lying there. She wouldn't wake up, I tried. I tried to wake her but she wouldn't."
E: "Aeryn, who is it?"
A: "My mum. She's gone."
E: "Oh, Aeryn."
A: "I know you'll probably say two years is a long time, I should have gotten over it by now, but can't."
E: "I would never say that-"
A: "And I know I still have my dad, I love him so much but I was so close to my mum and I just feel so sad that it feels like I can't breathe."
E: "I'm so sorry, I knew you just lived with your dad but I didn't think this..."
A: "Sometimes I just feel so alone."
E: "You're not."
A: "Not what?"
E: "You're not alone. You have me. You'll always have me."
A: "Pinky promise?"
E: "Pinky promise."
