CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
FORD: Good morning, asshole. When were you going to tell us you were in town a few weeks ago?
SOPHIA: What?
FORD: Mercer was in New York and didn’t tell us. I had to find out from Dax.
SOPHIA: WTF Mercer?
FORD: You can’t ignore us forever. Willow told me you’ll be here for the hearing and I’m pretty sure we’re still going to be on the same team.
MERCER: Yes, I’ll be there.
MERCER: Yes, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about the trip.
MERCER: No, I don't want to talk about it.
FORD: Seriously?
SOPHIA: After all this time, that’s all we get?! Three bullshit texts. Ford is working his ass off to help you, and I’m single handedly assuring you don’t starve.
MERCER: And I didn’t ask either of you to help me.
FORD: You don’t have to.
FORD: That’s what you do for people you care about.
MERCER: And maybe that’s the problem. You assume everyone wants your help and then owes you for it.
MERCER: Talk after the hearing.
FORD: Fine
