Daddy
Hello, daughter. I've been expecting your call.
Wyatt
Hi, old man. Sorry, I just pulled in for the night otherwise I would've called sooner, but...you were the one who told me not to talk and drive.
Daddy
Good girl. How was your first day on the road?
Wyatt
Not bad! I made it to Indiana, so I'm staying the night in...hm, South Bend? It's right off 90. I don't think I'm too far outside of Chicago, actually.
Daddy
Well, good. Are you being safe? I keep checking the weather in Portland and it seems to be raining a lot...
Wyatt
Of course I'm being safe, Pops. No drinking and driving, no texting. I'm taking breaks every few hours so I don't get tired or cramped up. You don't have to worry very much about me, you know?
Daddy
I know, but you're my baby girl, Wiley. My little coyote. I'm always gonna worry about you. How's the weather in Indiana?
Wyatt
Right now? Dark. But it's not raining. I think it's supposed to rain tomorrow, though.
Daddy
Okay, then definitely be safe when you head out tomorrow, and be sure you call me the first chance you get.
Wyatt
I will. How's Mom? And Aug? Ellie texted me earlier today, but I haven't heard from anyone else yet. They doing okay?
Daddy
You know your mother. She's just worried about you making that drive all by yourself. You know I would've gone with you if you'd asked. I wouldn't have minded taking the week off work to help you move, Wiley.
Wyatt
It's really okay, I promise. What about August? Is she asleep right now or...?
Daddy
She's been... Well, I'm not sure she totally understands what's happening? She cried a little bit this morning after you left, you know, threw a tantrum about you moving, but right now? She seems okay. Probably distracted, you know how kids are. They forget everything after ten seconds.
Wyatt
Oh...okay. Listen, Dad, I'm super tired so I'm gonna hit the sack, okay?
Daddy
Alright, baby girl. Remember to call me tomorrow morning before you leave and when you find somewhere to stay for the night. Are you doing alright on money?
Wyatt
I will, I will. And yeah, I'm doing okay. Tell everybody I love them.
Daddy
You got it. I love you, Wy. And hey, be careful, okay? Call me in the morning.
Wyatt
I will be. Love you too, old man. Goodnight.
Daddy
Love you. G'night, Wyatt.
