Can I know about you?
9:30 PM

Unknown Number: "Hey, it's me again!"

Mellissa: "What do you want now?"

Unknown Number: "I just wanted to tell you about my day, but first, can I ask you something?"

Mellissa: "What is it?"

Unknown Number: "Do you have any siblings?"

Mellissa: "No, why?"

Unknown Number: "Oh, just wondering. So, about my day..."

Mellissa: "I'm not really interested in hearing about your day, to be honest."

Unknown Number: "Aw, come on! I'll make it quick. Today, I accidentally walked into a pole and spilled coffee all over myself. And then I found out that Susie is having twins! Can you believe it?"

Mellissa: "I'm sorry, who's Susie?"

Unknown Number: "My girlfriend, remember? The one I can't marry because she's pregnant?"

Mellissa: "Oh, right. I remember now. Well, that's...great news, I guess."

Unknown Number: "Yeah, but it's also kind of scary. I don't know if I'm ready for two babies at once. But hey, at least they can keep each other company, right?"

Mellissa: "Sure, I guess so."

Unknown Number: "Anyway, enough about me. What about you? Do you have any siblings?"

Mellissa: "No, I don't. Why do you keep asking?"

Unknown Number: "Oh, just curious. You know, family and all that. Speaking of which, do you have a good relationship with your parents?"

Mellissa: "Not really. They don't really understand me or appreciate what I do."

Unknown Number: "What do you do?"

Mellissa: "I work at a local cafe. It's not glamorous, but it pays the bills."

Unknown Number: "Hey, that's cool! I love cafes. What's your favorite thing to make?"

Mellissa: "I don't actually make anything. I just serve customers and clean up."

Unknown Number: "Oh. Well, I'm sure you're great at that too. And hey, if you ever need to vent about your parents, you can always call me."

Mellissa: "Thanks, but I think I'll pass. Goodnight."

Unknown Number: "Goodnight, Mellissa. Talk to you soon."
