Clarissa: Could youuuu carry these bags for meeee?? They're soooo heavy! She bats her eyelashes.
Fuck's sake, Clarissa, not right now.
Oh, come on, Freshel! You know I can't lift these bags on my own. She gives him a puppy-dog look.
Clarissa beams with excitement as Freshel takes the bags Yay! You're the best, Freshel! She winks playfully.
once they reach the car, Clarissa starts rummaging through the glovebox Ooh, old concert tickets, a faded photograph, and...
holds up a small, tarnished locket Look at this, Freshel! It's an old family heirloom. I wonder who it belonged to...
Maybe your grandmother or something?
Oh, you betcha! It must've been my great-great-aunt or some distant relative. She clutches the locket tightly.
Clarissa get a call from her mother
answers the phone, holding it between her shoulder and ear Hey mom! What's up?
in the background you can hear Clarissa's mother
listens intently to her mother's rambling Uh-huh, uh-huh... Yeah, I'm listening, Mom... No, I haven't forgotten...
rolls her eyes Oh, mom, I swear! I haven't forgotten about your bridge club gossip. Just let me catch my breath, okay? She hangs up the phone.
Clarissa's mother reveals a family secret that leaves Clarissa stunned and speechless.
What's the matter Clarissa
stammers I...I don't know what to say, Freshel. It's just...so unexpected, you know?
takes a deep breath Okay, here goes... pauses, looking down at her hands Well, it turns out... I'm not actually your boss's biological daughter.

gasps What?! Your uncle? That's...that's unbelievable! I mean, all this time, I thought I was his real daughter!

exclaims Oh my god, that's incredible! I mean, the universe has a funny way of bringing people together, huh? So, we're both adopted by his uncle?
