    Summary

    “Hello, my name is Beatrice Silva and I’m calling in regards to my wife’s disability insurance plan?”

    Beatrice can't stand still when she speaks on the telephone, it’s an old, anxious habit she picked up from a young age. When she ran away from home, everything she did was on her own - even when she moved to the ranch, Suzanne made Beatrice set up all of her own appointments.

    At the time, Beatrice thought it was incredibly unfair to ask a seventeen year old to take on so much responsibility in a new life like that. She realizes now that what Suzanne was actually doing was preparing her for adulthood because she was going to treat her like an adult.

    In hindsight, it was exactly what Beatrice needed and now she’s the one in her marriage that handles the phone calls.

    Because for as much as Ava is outgoing and chatty and so easy to win everyone over, she is utter shite at speaking professionally on the telephone.
