“You know why I can’t stay, Joey. I couldn’t face them. Not any of them.”
“So you said.”
“I need you to understand. It ain’t about you.”
“Yeah, I get it. It ain’t about me.”
“Well, it ain’t.”
“Sue Ann, why you drawing this out like this? You asked me for a ride and I give you one. So go on. There’s your bus. Go.”
“I just don’t want you to feel like…”
“Like what? Like it’s my fault? Whose fault is it then, Sue Ann? Tell me that.”

These are great voices – lots of emotion.
Great dialogue and lots of intriguing questions.
Love the dialogue – it gets the story across and helps draw the characters. Good stuff!
I’d love to know what led up to this! Brilliantly written.
