    JAY sits on her hand me down couch and curls up to her favorite side, the left side. It already has a divot in it from the previous owner and is the most comfortable spot. She has a blanket, a cup of tea, and watches reruns of New Girl. Her phone rings.

    AUSTIN calls again, she answers.


    JAY
