Now back to this fella on the bus.

Raine

His name is Elias.

He’s tall, well-spoken, impeccably dressed.

And he’s also eighty years old and won’t stop talking about his late wife, though he may just be reciting the plot of The Notebook. Too soon to tell.

May

Raine

I’m just gonna drop this file here and run away forever. K thanks, byeeeee.

Jack

Is this... a complete recording of a Raine Hart original song???

Raine

No.

Jack

I think it is.

Raine

It’s not.

Jack

I’m pretty sure it is.

Raine

If you like it, it’s mine. If you don’t, it’s not.

Jack

Thanks for the new ringtone.

Raine

Don’t you dare!

Jack

Too late. You know, might be the perfect alarm too.

Raine

Wanting to wake up to the sound of my voice, huh?

Jack

Maybe.
