to me

Ms. Patton,

Thank you so much for contacting me. I would be happy to discuss further lessons for your son this summer. Please call me at 415-473-8485 so we can finish the details for Gryffin's musical journey.

gryffin

who put a carolina reaper in your wheaties?

just another string of texts from the dear old family!

the cryptkeeper didn't wake up, did she?

her sister. the one who helpfully--she's the one who let me know that she knew what was going on with-- with everything. turns out she knew for years what karen did.

... what a bitch. does she know i'm here now?

she wanted to come see both of you. i told her no. she doesn't get to just-- pretend that she had nothing to do with keeping you away from me.

seriously? she should be GROVELING.

she even knows better than to even ask me and she still did. trying to bait me saying that she wanted to talk. she doesn't even deserve to say your name.

talk about what?! what could she have to say that she didn't say for- for twelve years?

fuck if i know. i don't care about anything she has to say at this point. neither should you-- it's going to just be self absorbed lies.

alright, ma. love you.

love you too. so, so much.
