So I happened across this post again right after reading your draft and right before making myself dinner and, well...
"You seem kind of... weird today?"
"Oh... sorry. It's just... I was at my dad's this weekend?"
"Did something happen? Oh my god, did you - "
"No - I will soon, I promise. But it's - so I know he had kind of a messed up childhood, and he did a bunch of illegal stuff when he was in high school. But sometimes he just says stuff?"
"Like... what stuff?"
"We were watching this movie and he said something about how you should never date anyone who hides you. Which - I know, I'm sorry, just - so I asked him, because it sounded like a real thing and I thought maybe I could use it to - and he was like, 'oh yeah, in high school I dated this girl who was slumming it, so no one knew about us'."
"Okay?"
"And he was just like 'never do that, it makes you feel awful' and whatever, and he still knows lots of people from high school so I asked him if he ever saw that girl anymore, like did he think she was sorry, or... And he says, 'No, she went back to her other boyfriend and his dad killed her.'"
"I'm sorry, what?"
"Right??? That's what I said, and he was all like, 'yeah, he was rich and famous so he got off but everyone knows he did it. But he just said her brother did it, and he'd already kidnapped his baby and ran off to Mexico, so they couldn't prove it wasn't him'."
"Oh my god."
"So I was like 'Dad, what', and he goes, 'oh no, wait, it was the other time he ran away that he went to Mexico. I don't know where he took the baby'."
"..."
"And I said, you know, 'WHAT', but he just kind of frowned and went, 'I never got my eight percent of that 50K for tipping them off', and then he's just like 'do you want spaghetti'."
"That's... I mean."
"It's literally all I've been able to think about for the last two days. Like."
"...No wonder you forgot to come out."
