Incoming Video Call From: Ben Hardy
"Hey!"
"Hey Benny! How are you?"
"Slightly jacked, let's be honest. My schedule is off from the many night shoots we've been doing. Got some time before I go so I thought I'd call."
"I appreciate the thought! I apologize for looking like a rat at this hour but-"
"But you always look great."
"Oh stop it."
"Nah, I won't. Oh, and congratulations on becoming an aunt again!"
"Thank you so much! I lost my shit when Kasey told me."
"I believe it. If my brother told me I'm going to be an uncle in the near future I'd go crazy."
"Can I be honest with you?"
"You always can."
"The only other two friends of mine that know this are Daisy and Joe."
"Adri, I think we both crossed the full disclosure line enough that we can be open with each other. I promise you can tell me anything."
"Kasey had a miscarriage last year early on in an unplanned pregnancy. It was with Karl's child, so they were nervous to conceive again."
"Holy shit."
"Yep. Just to add to the fucked shit my family has gone through. But I think we have every reason to be excited now."
"As you should be."
"What's going on with you now, Benny? You look an awful lot tanner from the last time I saw you."
"Michael Bay is one of the craziest people I have ever met, but this has been an incredible experience."
"That's so good to hear!"
"The physicality of it all is pretty brutal, I won't lie. These guys are wild. We're headed to the UAE soon so I'm prepared to melt my face off."
"You're going to need a scarf. Or scarves."
"Scarves?"
"Scarves. I promise you. Abu Dabi is HOT all over. I don't need you getting sun poisoning."
"I've had it pretty badly before so thanks for the heads up."
"I've got to ask you this and have been wanting to for so long ..... What's Ryan Reynolds REALLY like?"
"Haha. Just like everyone says. Except double that and BOOM. You get the most interesting man in the world."
"I'd give everything to be friends with that man."
"I was told I was going to be pranked by him at some point but I think I have evaded it so far."
"You have GOT to tell me when that happens. Cause Joe just told me his plan for Japan and I have not seen anything funnier in such a long time."
"Oh god, you too?"
"Heh. I promise you'll love it. Let's just say you have some creative friends."
"Agh. I miss you guys."
"I miss you too, Ben. Things are quieter without you."
"Can't imagine it was quiet to begin with."
"Our definition of quiet is not the same."
"Touché."
"You haven't seen Elias dramatically throw himself on the floor and pout when he's being impatient."
"Ha! I miss that kid."
"You're more than welcome to have him for a few days!"
"Only in your company, not sure if I can take care of a someone else's kid on my own just yet."
"Makes sense. Don't need you two burning places down."
"If we get that far."
"Maybe someday. Is that your driver knocking?"
"Must be. I'll talk to you soon, okay?"
"Have fun out there buddy."
