Travis leaned back in his chair and pulled out his phone. "Tanner! There's no need to yell. You can always just check."

"As if you get presets every year. Shane gets you a necklace and the whole school has to hear about it and now I look like I'm heartless. Girl after girl coming to tell me I can still make up for it. Or that it was so unfair of me to forget. I'm even getting suggestions." He scoffed and shook his head. "I knew it. I knew you would be an embarrassment."
"You're an embarrassment!"
"What embarrassing thing have I done to you?"
