[Chrissy emerges from the back of the building, looking a lot less tense now that she's peed. Seeing Johnnie on the phone has her jogging over, and she waits for him to finish before taking the phone out of his hand so she can talk to Alex.]
Hey, Alex. Maybe you should tell your mom Ed might reach out. I think us showing up really freaked him out, and I don't know if he'd try to talk to your mom about it.
[Alex sounds really pissed off, but agrees to talk to her in the morning. She thanks him and wishes him well, and he tells her to watch out for Johnnie.]
Yeah, we'll keep an eye on each other. Just like we always do. I love you, Alex, okay? Be safe.
[It's the first time she's verbally said that she loves him, and he really isn't sure how to handle it. He knows she means it in the familial sense though, and the exhale he gives in response is warm and amused. The phone is handed back to Johnnie and she leans over against the nearby brick wall. The sun will be coming up soon enough. She's able to take in the glow on the horizon and notices how crappy this little town they're in looks.]
