I was the one who called the ‘Papers’ guy.
Patricia: I feel for her, I really do, but you also need to understand that she’s not a baby anymore. She made all those decisions herself, she’ll learn from it, trust me. You must not blame this on yourself and, I’ve repeated this many times, what can you do? Really, what can you do for
