"Hello?"
"Hi!"
"..."
"Ohh...you may be thinking about who I am. I'm Gabby!"
"Who?...Oh. Farah's sister right?"
"She mentioned me?! Awh."
"...How do you have my number?"
"I maybe looked through my sisters phone for it. And then saved it. And called you. Don't tell her. This is our little secret!"
"I won't."
"Swear!"
"I swear. Can I ask you something?"
"Shoot."
"What's Farah's favorite thing?"
"...Hm. You."
"Me?"
"That's what I said. Anything that revolves around you, she likes. Scratch that. Loves. She's also been really...bright? I didn't know why so I went in her room while she was in school. Another secret, you can get lost in there. It's the definition of messy. But she marked your arrival on her calendar, and has been the 'perfect daughter' since. Has she told you about our step mother?"
"She told me a lot."
"Well yesterday, she kissed her cheek before she left...how are you changing her like this?! She despised that woman."
"I don't know. I'm just here."
"Well you won't in...what? Four days?"
"Three."
"Monday! You come this Monday? Now, Monday will be a good day...you do know that you have to meet the whole family?"
"Meaning you, your dad and stepmother?"
"Yeah...it'll be fun. I'm sure Farah will protect you from the parents."
"No she won't. She'll be too busy talking with my brother Charlie or my mother."
"Charlie? O-"
"He's six. Don't even think about it."
