Incoming Call From: Mozzarellasaurus
"...hey Joe."
"Hey Aidy."
"You're up late."
"Can't sleep."
"Me either to be honest."
"Can I talk to you about something?"
"Of course you can. Always."
"Does it get easier?"
"...Joe."
"Yeah. Not a good day."
"Just in general or did something happen?"
"Just a bad day."
"I'm sorry Joe."
"Does any of the grief change? I mean I'm already sick of this shit and ready to turn the clock back. Does it get easier?"
"Joe, I ..... oh god."
"I can't put it lightly. It doesn't. You can't change it. It changes you. If you try to change it yourself you'll lose touch."
"Lose touch?"
"With everything. Your inner self. My first instinct was to forget it all and try to distance myself from everything relating to Anton, but the energy it took to shut things out took so much more out of me than teaching myself to look at it differently and keep up with the world."
"I guess you're right. I'm really trying to surround myself with the best people possible, just because that has really helped me."
"I think you've done a great job of that. You've got a lot of really good people in your life, Joe. I'm glad you do."
"That means a lot Adrienne. It really does."
"You look like you want to ask me something too."
"Yeah I do. Did you tell Ben what my favorite flowers were?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"That shit eating grin tells me you do."
"To be fair to you, he came to me about it."
"That's allllll I needed to hear buddy."
"Whatever man. I'm sleepy now."
"Call me if you need anything else."
"Love you kiddo."
"Love you too."
