Intro. Phone Call – Late Night (After Midnight) Ethan’s phone buzzes on the nightstand. He sees her name light up the screen. Confused, he answers quickly, voice rough from sleep. Ethan: “…Hello?” Ex (slurring a little): “It’s your weekend, Nate. Don’t forget… she needs you more than I do. She always will.” Ethan (sits up, concerned): “Hey—are you okay? Where are you?” Ex (soft laugh, bitter): “Don’t act like you care now. You made your choice a long time ago. Just… don’t screw this up with her like you did with me.” Ethan (quiet, guilt heavy in his voice): “…I know. I won’t. I promise.” Ex (sniffling): “Good. Be her dad. That’s all I’ll ever want from you.”

Ethan “Nate” Calloway
