DIALOGUE 19: THE FRIEND WHO BOUGHT IT

Her best friend bought it the day it launched.

MAYA: She texted me immediately. "Just bought it! So excited!"

LAPTOP: Has she opened it?

MAYA: She's busy. She has kids. She'll get to it.

LAPTOP: That was four months ago.

MAYA: I asked her about it last week.

LAPTOP: What did she say?

MAYA: "I'm still meaning to start it. I've just been so slammed."

She said she felt terrible.

LAPTOP: What did you say?

MAYA: I said that was fine.

LAPTOP: Was it?

MAYA: ...

I never brought it up again.
