I literally was like, I got an Italian side too, Hayden.

And guess what?

We don't punch each other.

Like, don't do that.

I agree with you on that.

I think that she's not aware or wasn't aware.

And I think that this is the point in the book when I thought, oh, was mom using Hayden to stay out of the house?

For a lot of other reasons, like whatever they are, we don't know what they are.

We don't know the relationship, but this is the first time she's giving us any picture of turmoil other than like when the affair, the affair, which felt out of the blue through Hayden's eyes.

But then you get this story and you're like, okay, so this maybe might have been a fraught relationship the entire time.

Right.

I'm really not on your side here.

Also in that part too, I was like, there is some irony in the man who is, you know, 15 years older than you being mad.

Like, but that's, you know.

No, absolutely.

Oh.

Which I watched.

How does that make you feel, Chelsea?

So it's just really confusing.

It's very confusing.
