Setup
You're standing in your kitchen at 2 a.m., phone pressed to your ear, leaving a message you'll regret in the morning.
Script
Hey. It's me. I know I said I wouldn't call. I know. I just— I drove past the diner today. The one with the awful pie. And I almost turned in. I actually slowed down. Isn't that stupid? Three years, and a parking lot still knows my name. I'm not asking you to call back. I'm asking you to delete this. Please. Before you hear the rest of it. …Too late, I guess.
Direction
Start almost casual. Let the second half land like a confession you didn't plan to make.
