The Phone Call


Stefanie:

"Sarah... what do you mean, we're meeting an author for an interview? I wanted to stop working for the school paper."

Sarah:

"Stef, listen—this is the event of the decade. We’ve been invited to the capital, to the Celantan embassy. Everything is paid for—for you, Nicole, and me."

Stefanie:

"Sarah, hold on a second—why is an author inviting us to a foreign embassy?"

Sarah:

"Um, I told him about the painting we found in my attic back then. The painting of the red-haired woman—the one we think depicts me in the future as a cooked dish."

Stefanie:

"That cursed painting—the reason you want to go to Romania? Sarah!"

Sarah:

"Calm down, Stefanie; he writes stories about cannibals. They’re just stories. Anyway, we’ve been invited to an art exhibition at the embassy, ​​followed by a banquet."

Stefanie:

"Okay... that sounds interesting. I’ll convince Nicole to come along. Gently. You’re way too intense about this subject."
