"I just checked. My watch says you're going to have a great day."
"I highly doubt it. Oh, Mrs. Callista just called me. She said she doesn't want us to be seen walking into the building so we need to wait for someone to meet us here."
"Okay."

"I-"
"Listen-"
Both speaking at the same time we stop what we were saying.
"You first."
"No no, you go first."
"Astra about last night, I'm sorry. I overstepped. I know you told me to keep quiet, but I just couldn't let her treat you like that."
