By putting yourself in - [ She cuts herself off, knowing Max knows full well she put herself in danger. What would Chloe had done if the positions were reversed?
Hell, at least Max had had the sense to do it over the network. Chloe probably would have found him and tried to punch a murderer in the face.

... I know. I get it. Just - just be careful, okay? Rewinding can't get you out of everything.
I dunno. I'm not gonna play around with it, I promise. He said he did it for info. And I thought I was gonna get pissed and hang up on him, but it was... different.
I tried to wait until I calmed down so I wouldn't lose my shit and end up in the same place. I mean, I yelled for a little bit, and I called him an asshole, but we just kinda... talked.
[She's quiet on the other end, unsure of how to react. It's a sensitive issue. And Chloe has every right to talk about it. Talking about it is supposed to help.

Date: 2019-01-06 05:42 am (UTC)[ A beat as she tosses the beanie to the side and Bongo makes an indignant meow because it probably hit him. ]
