BEN: Hello?

CALLIE: Hey, Ben, it’s Callie.

BEN: Hi.

CALLIE: Are you okay?

BEN: Why do you ask?

CALLIE: Rachael’s back.

(pause)

BEN: I know.

CALLIE: That’s why I’m asking.

BEN: I’m fine.

CALLIE: Sure…

BEN: I am.

(pause)

CALLIE: Did she come to see you?

BEN: Yeah.

CALLIE: What did you say?

BEN: Nothing. I wasn’t home.

CALLIE: How do you know she was there then?

BEN: She left a note.

CALLIE: What did it say?

BEN: Does it matter?

CALLIE: I suppose not… but I’m just curious.

BEN: Just that she want’s to see me.

CALLIE: Are you gonna see her?

BEN: No… Yes… Maybe… I don’t know.

CALLIE: I don’t think you should.

BEN: Why not?

CALLIE: After what she did? Of course you shouldn’t see her. She’s a bitch and she doesn’t deserve to know you.

BEN: You never did like her did you?

CALLIE: Not really.

BEN: I wish you could’ve told me how things were gonna turn out.

CALLIE: Me too. Sorry.

BEN: Yeah.

(pause)

BEN: Look, I gotta go.

CALLIE: If you need to talk –

BEN: Thanks.

CALLIE: Bye.

BEN: See ya, Cal.
