PATRICK
I thought Owen Joyner was your husband?

LIGHT
they both are

PATRICK
so they're like sister wife's
But they're brother husbands?

LIGHT
Exactly

PATRICK
it's almost thanksgiving
Any plans?

LIGHT
I'm going back home to visit my parents
You?

PATRICK
Me too. I'm going to be with my sister and my parents

LIGHT
you have a sister?

PATRICK
yeah
She's a couple a years older than me

LIGHT
I bet she's cooler than you

PATRICK
I'm not even offended by that anymore

LIGHT
can I talk to you about something

PATRICK
of course

LIGHT
I've actually been really nervous to going back to my parents

PATRICK
really?
May I ask why?

LIGHT
I love my parents don't get me wrong
they're just different since my brother died
Like they're overprotective

PATRICK
I'm sure they do it because they worry and care about you.

LIGHT
I know but still.
It's just hard

PATRICK
I wish I lived closer to help you :(

LIGHT
I do too
Where do you live?

PATRICK
Oklahoma

LIGHT
I've never been more jealous

PATRICK
why there's nothing to do here?

LIGHT
yeah but Owen lives there

PATRICK
if I see him I'll tell him about you

LIGHT
please and thank you

PATRICK
So, I don't wanna pry but what was your brothers name?

LIGHT
it's okay.
His name was Carver.
He was fifteen when he died and he was two years older than me.

PATRICK
I'm sorry you went through that

LIGHT
I just wish I got a letter explaining why
Plus it's weird being older than my older brother

PATRICK
I couldn't even imagine going through the pain.

LIGHT
I really hope you don't
I don't wanna wish it on anybody

PATRICK
I hope you know if you're ever feeling sad about it, you can come to me
You can call or text me any time of the day
I'll answer

LIGHT
Thank you so much, Patrick.
That means so much

PATRICK
anytime

LIGHT
same goes to you though, you can message me

PATRICK
Of course

LIGHT
that took me a lot to talk about
I don't usually talk about that stuff

PATRICK
you can trust me with anything

LIGHT
Thank you again 🤍
