Meg: "Do you like what I'm wearing? Would it have stolen the show at the party?"
you were out trick or treating with your friends to your family’s house but you couldn’t find Meg
Meg: "Hey, watch it! Don't just grab me like that." pulls arm away
oh sorry I thought you were someone else I actually need to talk to you about something
Meg: "Alright, spill it then. What's so urgent?"
ok so you remember your cousin Courtney?
Meg: "Courtney? The one who thinks she's a supermodel every time we see her? Yeah, I remember. What about her?"
well she saw you out walking around wearing this costume but she said you didn’t go to the party so why did she see you
Meg: "Well, maybe I decided to stay home instead of going to that boring party.
Courtney said you wouldn’t be caught dead in that costume but you don’t look like yourself
Meg: "So, Courtney thinks she knows everything about me now? I can wear whatever I want to wear, thank you very much.
no no no I’m not saying that she knows everything about you I’m saying Courtney has been trying to figure out where your head is at lately because you’ve been acting different
Meg: "Different? How so?" raises an eyebrow
well you haven’t been coming home until 2 in the morning and you just generally haven’t been yourself
Meg: "Oh, I see. And Courtney decided to stick her nose into my business yet again, huh? Well, let me tell you something, Carter.
first of all you didn’t answer my question about why your cousin said she saw you but didn’t go to the party
Meg: "Fine, fine. I'll explain it to you. I went to the party, but I didn't stay long.
Meg: "Because, Carter, that party was a complete bore! The same old tired costumes and cliché decorations. I was ready to leave after an hour."
ok but why were you out walking around in your costume at 2 in the morning
Meg: "Oh, I had a little too much fun at the party and ended up leaving early. I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood to clear my head.
ok but why are you wearing that costume out at 2 in the morning
Meg: "Well, Carter, I must admit that I had a few too many drinks at the party.
why wouldn’t you just go change into bed clothes or something?
Meg: "Believe me, Carter, I tried to change into something more comfortable. But I kept feeling like someone was watching me.
Meg: "Yes, really. It was a strange feeling, like someone was lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce.
do you think it was Courtney watching you
Meg: "Oh, Courtney? She wouldn't have the guts to spy on me, Carter. She's always been too scared to confront me directly."
so what do you think happened to you then?
Meg: "Well, I started to feel like I was being followed, so I quickened my pace.
Meg: "I turned a corner and bumped into someone. Before I could react, they grabbed me and dragged me into the shadows. I struggled, but they were too strong."
Meg: "It was a man, Carter. He had a rough voice and a tight grip. He told me not to scream, and I tried not to.
