LoveHarley: Knot, that’s really sweet of you, but I promise we’re not in danger or trouble. If, in the future, I need to take you up on it, I’ll let you know, but I don’t think it’s going to be necessary :)

Gwynning: TD, Alex is with me, and he’s not on his phone right now
GlitterDoctor: Yeah, I’m not whoever Alex is, and I’m not a bot or a virus, either. Hi, btw

TeenDad2: *stay
TeenDad2: Just, I’m confused???
TeenDad2: Who sent you here?
