"Oh! Hi Cooper.""Hey, Hazel, right? How are you?"
"I've been good, thanks. How about you?"
"Eh. Same as normal, I guess. How's your dog?"
"You mean Pom? She's fine. Sorry she jumped you, by the way."
"It's okay, she was cute. What breed is she again?"
"She's a Pomeranian."
"That's cute."
"Yeah."

"Are you... Are you okay, Cooper?"
"Hmm? I guess so. Why did you ask?"
"I... You just seemed a little off."
"I'm okay."
"Okay then. I'll see you around?"
"Sounds great. See you."
"Bye, Cooper."
"Bye Hazel."
...
...
"Cooper?"
"Oh, I thought you left."
"Do you want to talk?"
"Now?"
"Not now... When you're ready, I guess."
"Oh. Oh?"
"Yeah. Only if you want to, though."

"Okay."

"Okay. Okay, my number is five five -"
"Why don't you give me your phone and I'll give you my phone so we can put in each other's numbers?"
"Oh that'd be easier. Sure."
...
"Yeah, done."
"Cool! See you around?"
"I'll call you when I'm ready. Thanks, Hazel."
"No problem."
"Bye."
"Goodbye!"
