Axel: He texted me to come out with his buddies.

Macie: You’re hanging out with the whole Sydney Kings team now?

Macie:How was it going out with him and the team?

Axel:They’re cool. Definitely different to the basketball guys. And they’re pro. I felt so young, but Sawyer was being Sawyer and didn’t care.

Axel:Cruze Hart was there, too.

Macie:Oooo,the captain.

Axel:Yeah. You should come to the city. I can introduce you.

Macie:Shut up. I know Sawyer better than you do. I’m only two years older.

Axel:And I’m only seven years younger.

Macie:I’ll come soon, okay.

Axel:Promise?

Macie:Promise.

Friday 5:14pm

Macie:I’ve thought about this.

Reid:About what?

Macie: I want to talk with someone.

Reid:I can come now.

Macie:I mean aprofessional.

Reid:A therapist?

Macie:Yes. I think I need to get out everything from my past. To get it all off my chest.

Reid:We can find someone.

Macie: I can do it.

Reid: WE can do it.

Macie: Okay.

Macie: Thank you, Reid.

Reid:Anything for you.

Macie: Are you outside?

Reid:The new house. Why?

Macie: I really need a hug right now.

Reid: Coming now.
