I just remember sitting on, I think, like a cement dinosaur and having a conversation with him about who knows what.

Those felt very meaningful, those rides.

Like, I don't know what we were talking about, but it felt important.

And he did make me a mixtape of Leonard Cohen songs, which I had a tape player in my car at the time.

And so that was probably on constant play.

That made me feel like, oh, wow, he really took the time to make this special tape.

But...

Then before I knew it, there was definitely a flirtatious dynamic that began.

I know that I wasn't getting calls at home at the beginning.

It was towards the end or after the production that I was getting calls.

So it definitely escalated.

I don't remember all of them, but I do remember probably one of the last calls I ever got from him.

And it was the day of high school prom.

I was getting ready for prom and he called me.

the phone was handed to me and I'm sure I was totally giddy and excited and talking about going to prom with my group of friends and then he said that he wished he was taking me to prom which made me feel gross even about that I thought that was a really lame thing for a 28 year old to tell an 18 year old that they wanted to go to prom even I didn't really want to go to prom that bad

Yeah, it does show the boldness.

And I'm sure that was certainly not the first time that he called.

And it's a family line, landline in those days, so anyone could pick up.

I think that maybe with my mom, there was probably some raised eyebrows, but we didn't ever have a conversation about it.

And she never asked if anything was going on.
