Missy:
Now I'm intrigued

Tegan:
Hi?

Missy:
You went out with Parker

Tegan:
I did

Missy:
You said you're adopted when?

Tegan:
I was 7

Missy:
You're a Ford?

Tegan:
Yes

Missy:
You're close with Parker

Tegan:
You can say that

Missy:
Are you ashamed with being Ford?

Tegan:
No

Missy:
Why are you not introducing yourself?

Tegan:
It's something kinda personal..

Missy:
Tito Ranford didn't say anything

It's you who told me you're adopted

Is that the truth?

Tegan:
Yes

Missy:
Mom says it's true but I don't believe it

Tegan:
You don't believe your mom?

Missy:
I don't.

Are you not parker's girlfriend

Tegan:
No

That's just...

I've known parker ever since

Missy:
You never attended the réunion and
holiday celebrations

And parties

Tegan:
Because I asked not to

Missy:
I don't believe you

Tegan:
Why not?

Missy:
BECAUSE THERE'S NO TRACE OF YOU AND EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE PROTECTING YOU

Tegan:
Not everyone

Just my parents, your parents, and parker

That's all I have with me

Missy:
My parents?

Even my dad knew?

Tegan:
Yes..

Why?

Missy:
Nothing

Tegan:
We can be friends!

You're actually the first cousin I met

Missy:
You're not my cousin

Tegan:
No my birth certificate took six years
to process but I'm actually a ford

It's also on my college ID

And highschool of course

Missy:
You're adopted

Tegan:
But I have the same surname

Missy:
But not the blood

Tegan:
Yea but does it really matter?

Missy:
It does matter

A lot

You've never been in reunions. Pops never met you. No one knows you.

Tegan:
That makes sense actually

Well I'm not really planning to go to celebrations. I know being a ford is big deal here in the Philippines but I'm not trying to take advantage of it

Missy:
You are already, by using it as your surname and living here in the Philippines

Tegan:
Nice to meet you, Missy! :)
