PAIGE: Has Ford seen it? Is he with you?
ETTA: He has and no, he left a few hours ago with the team.
PAIGE: Shit.
PAIGE: Are you okay?
PAIGE: Do you need me to come over?
PAIGE: How did operation third date go?
ETTA: Yes, I’m okay.
ETTA: No, I don’t need you to come over.
ETTA: Operation third date was the most amazing part of the last twenty-four hours.
PAIGE: Like big dick amazing?
ETTA: The biggest.
PAIGE: Why do I get the feeling there’s more to the story
ETTA: Because there is.
PAIGE: .........
PAIGE: Don’t keep a girl waiting.
ETTA: Sorry, I just needed to respond to Ford. They landed in Detroit.
PAIGE: Go on
ETTA: My parents saw the article with the picture of me and called Ford this morning.
PAIGE: They called him?!
ETTA: Apparently he was in contact with them the entire time I was “missing.”
PAIGE: Are we mad about this?
ETTA: Yes. No. I don’t know.
ETTA: He didn’t tell me about it. But I also asked him not to bring them up and that I wasn’t ready to talk to them.
PAIGE: So basically you want to be angry at him for the omission but also he did exactly what you asked.
ETTA: That.
PAIGE: Does this change the way you feel about him?
ETTA: Not at all. If anything it makes me love him more.
PAIGE: YOU LOVE HIM?!
PAIGE: Do I get to say I told you so now?
