“Where are you?”

“Just running late. Mum made me do the dishes.”

“Oh okay! Anything interesting happen?”

“Yeah actually. She gave me a lecture on being safe when walking alone.”

“Like at night?”

“Just in general I think. She said that I should always be on the phone to someone.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah, these two girls where walking together and nobody can find them. It freaked her out.”
