“Hello?”
“Is this Dalton?” a woman’s voice
“yes who is this?”
“I’m calling from phoenix hospital to inform you your test results came back”
“is it bad news?”
“I can’t tell you that on the phone unfortunately you’re going to have to come over if that’s possible”
“I understand, I’m on my way” he hangs up.

“Hi yeah, I got a call that my results were back”
“what’s your name?
“Dalton fr-”

“are you okay?, do you need help?”

“What do you want from me?" “do you even know me?” She sniffles and interrupts him." Are you a p*****t of any kind? "Are you fond of seeing girls cry?" Is this turning you on? ”
He’s caught off guard, nervously he says “excuse me, I just wanted to help, I’m not a perve-”
“please stay away from me!
