Texting your estranged dad after spotting him on live Wor...

Conversation

1. Dad, is that you on live TV holding 'Come home, Maya'?
2. Yes.
3. We haven't spoken in five years; what is this?
4. I know, and I'm sorry; I needed you to see me.
5. A stadium sign? Really?
6. It was the only way to get your attention without calling.
7. You could've called; you chose theater instead.
8. I tried to call; every number was blocked or changed.
9. You've always disappeared when it mattered.
10. I didn't disappear, I watched from a distance.
11. You 'watched' me? That's creepy.
12. Not to hurt you—because I knew someone else watched too.
13. What do you mean 'someone else'?
14. There's been a man following you the last month.
15. Stop. Who told you that?
