Claudia Dalton’s Cell Phone | Sunday, July 19, 2015, 10:45 p.m.
Luis: You still up?
Claudia: Yeah. You okay?
Luis: That was . . . some intense footage.
Claudia: Yeah. Maybe I shouldn’t have shown it to you.
Luis: No, I was glad you wanted me to see it. I just couldn’t find the words I wanted once it was done.
Claudia: That’s okay.
Luis: It’s easier now. On the phone. When I don’t have to look at you. [PAUSE] That sounded stupid. I like looking at you. But . . .
Claudia: No, I get it. I think my dad felt the same way. It’s like he couldn’t really talk to me until we had something else to do.
Luis: Until you started the puzzle.
Claudia: Yeah.
Luis: Yeah. It’s funny, last summer, my mom and I did nothing but argue. But then, when she was driving me back to my dad’s, we had the best conversation.
Claudia: Thank you for loaning me your camera.
Luis: Thanks for trusting me with your story.
Claudia: That’s what friends do.
Luis: Yeah. It is.
