Re: Call: Sam M/Cris M
[With a smile.] Alright, then she get a phone at fifteen then. [A laugh at that sound she makes. He ain't sure Lou seems young, so much as fragile, which ain't the same thing, but he don't argue it.] People meddle 'cause they care. I ain't sayin' it's right, but, it's what they do. If he says not Jason or his dad, then that leaves Stephanie, don't it? Or d'you just think, if Lou knows, he prolly won't tell the dad, so then it ain't goin' as far? And, gringa, I dunno. There's only so much you can do. If somebody hates you, 'cause you tried to save their life, I dunno. It's prolly worth it. Not that I don't get why you don't wanna do it, huh? I do. [With a small laugh.] And I know NA is anonymous, 'cause it's kinda in the name. But, you go, knowin' it's gonna be you and other addicts. Not your sister or this guy whose house your dad's at, ¿sabes? You're saying it's public, which it is, but there's an expectation of privacy. You get me? [A grin.] I'm Cris. [Joey approximates a sound that's not really close at all, but he smiles at her and nods.] You and me, we got married a lil bit ago. This ringin' a bell?
