Hey, Zane.
What are you up to?
Nothing much on my end.
I just came back home to spend time with my parents.
It's nice, but honestly...
kinda boring.
Most of my friends and classmates
are married now,
so it's hard to get anyone
to hang out.
And at home,
I've got my parents constantly nagging me.
Oh,
and get this,
they've become super nosy.
The moment I touch my phone,
they start asking all kinds of questions.
The other day,
you messaged me,
and I smiled at my phone, just a little.
My mom saw it,
and she wouldn't let it go.
Who's that?
What's your relationship?
I was dying of secondhand embarrassment.
What was I supposed to say?
So I told her you're...
of course I told her
you're just a friend, a landlord, someone who runs a guesthouse or whatever.
Nothing special.
Zane,
I gotta go, talk later, bye!
