To: Scott 😎

Chris 🤩:
Scott, are you busy right now?

Scott 😎:
No... why?

Chris 🤩:
Can we talk?

Scott 😎:
Whatever it is, it wasn't my fault

Chris 🤩:
I'll get back to you on that one 😒🤨
No, it's nothing like that

Scott 😎:
Okay... so, what is this about then?
Everything okay?

Chris 🤩:
You and Charlie are close, right?

Scott 😎:
Yeah, but you already know that

Chris 🤩:
Close enough to tell each other pretty much everything and know each other's secrets?

Scott 😎:
I guess.
Where are you going with this line of questioning?

Chris 🤩:
Charlie rushed out of here pretty quickly after getting a phone call earlier. She wouldn't tell me anything about it when I asked after she got off the phone and has been pretty evasive when I've tried bringing it up over text since then.
You wouldn't happen to know anything about it, would you?

Scott 😎:
What makes you think I would?
I haven't talked to her today.

Chris 🤩:
But, you do know something.

Scott 😎:
What? No, I don't.
I literally just said I haven't spoken to her today

Chris 🤩:
Scott, you're my little brother.
I know when you're lying or trying to get out of saying something.

Scott 😎:
Okay, and?

Chris 🤩:
Is it something bad?

Scott 😎:
Is what bad?

Chris 🤩:
The thing Charlie is hiding from me

Scott 😎:
I don't know

Chris 🤩:
Yes, you do.

Scott 😎:
Fine, I might have some idea what the phone call could have been about.
Charlie is going to be so mad at me for even letting slip that I know something she's hiding from you.
Just fyi.

Chris 🤩:
Is it something bad?

Scott 😎:
Bad is a subjective viewpoint

Chris 🤩:
So, it's something I'm not going to agree with.
That's why she's playing dumb with me, isn't it?

Scott 😎:
It's not my thing to tell
I don't know why she still hasn't said anything to you about it since I've definitely told her multiple times that she should.

Chris 🤩:
Do you realise how frustrating this is for me? Does she?
I'm over here wracking my head for all the different subjects this could be about.
Did she get a boyfriend that she doesn't want me to know about?
Is she sick?

Scott 😎:
No, it's nothing like that
Please don't stress yourself out about it
I'll talk to her again, try and get her to actually talk to you now that you're aware she's hiding something

Chris 🤩:
Then what??
The only other topic that she knows I absolutely hate even thinking about is her going back overseas, but that can't be it because she got out, right?
