Val: What are you doing with Olive’s little brother? Carter: Kid looked like he could use a friend. So I gave him my number. Val: Seriously? Carter: Yeah. Seriously. Val: You’re not gonna, like, mess with him, right? Carter: Jesus, Val! No, the kid seems to get enough shit as it is. I’m not gonna ‘mess with him,’ jeez. Val: Okay, sorry. I’m sorry. Lane’s not had it... easy. I’m a little protective of him, too. That’s cool of you, Carter. Carter: It’s fine. What’s up with you, though? You normally go for a run in a blind rage? Val: I do not have--’blind rage!’ Val: --I just know they’re keeping something from me. I overheard something about them ‘telling me soon’ right before Emmy left for Breitchester. And Olive’s never been a good liar. I spent the entire summer--alone. And I com ehome to the people I love most, and they keeping something from me. I don’t get it. So, I’m a little angry. And now I’m worried about Emmy-- Carter: She hasn’t been texting me back. Val: Um. Right. You don’t know. Emmy got--lost in the woods this weekend-- Carter: What?! Val: Her dad found her, don’t worry! But now no one can get ahold of her. Carter: Jesus christ. Val: Yeah. Carter: You mind if I smoke? This is a lot to hear.

Carter: Ooh, ‘vicinity,’ big word. Val: Shut the fuck up. You suck. Val: Summer sucks. Carter: Yep. You can say that again.
