Nora
A twist. Want to guess?
Nora
Eeww! Text me when you’re done
Mike
It’s not what you think! On my exercise bike. Wassup?
Nora
I was up most the night searching our client on Facebook.
Nora
Elise is definitely the mother of the bride
Mike
You already knew that
Nora
She’s also the woman I saw at the Hilton that night
Nora
Travis was having an affair with his fiancée’s mother!
Nora
I knew something was strange about this case
Nora
The Graduate. Exactly.
Nora
Going to text her now
Mike
Don’t do that! You’ve been paid. Let it go
Nora
I have to know the truth
Nora
I need her to admit it
Mike
It’s twisted. Leave it be.
Mike
She’s a cougar covering her tracks. Let nature take its course
Nora
I have to reach out to her
Nora
I’ll let you know what happens
Nora
Elise, I have a question
Nora
As you know our exchanges are 100% confidential.
Nora
Much like attorney client privilege, with complete discretion.
Elise
What’s your question?
Nora
I need to know why weren’t entirely honest with me?
Elise
Why do you say that?
Nora
You represented yourself as your daughter
Elise
I think you’re confused
Nora
I’ve spoken with your wedding coordinator
Elise
I admit I'm her mother.
Elise
I didn’t want that rat to see a penny of the family inheritance.
Elise
Janice and I are better off without Travis in our lives.
Elise
Thank you for a job well done. I sent the final payment. Have you received it yet?
Nora
Thank you. But it was you that I saw at the Hilton, wasn’t it?
Elise
What makes you think so?
Nora
I recognize you from posts on social media.
Nora
Junior League luncheons. Other places
Elise
Do you have a photo from the Hilton?
Nora
No, but I saw you. You looked sad that night.
Elise
That was our last time, when I broke it off.
Elise
I was having an affair with Travis, but it’s over now. The wedding is off but Janice can never know.
Nora
You can count on my discretion.
Elise
This has been a nightmare
Nora
Why did you pretend to be your daughter in the first place?
Elise
It better that way.
Nora
Because you didn’t want to appear involved?
Elise
Too much at stake. Janice can never know
Nora
She won’t. Not unless Travis tells her
Elise
He won’t. It’s over.
Nora
Thank you for being honest with me
Elise
Please delete our text history, this exchange, and all photos
Elise
Travis is a louse. It takes a louse to know a louse. But my daughter deserves better.
Elise
She’s a better person than me
