Zoe: Yeah! Haha! When I was little, I was so afraid of dying in my sleep I'd try and stay awake all night. Or sneak into Mum's bed. Did you ever have that fear?
Emily: No, never!
Zoe: Didn't think so. But you still don't WANT to die, right?
Emily: No!
Zoe: I think that attitude is pretty normal!
Emily: Like spiders! Lots of people find them REALLY freaky, but people who don't still don't want to be bitten.
Zoe: Yeah!! I actually really like spiders.
Emily: Oh me too, they're great! Zoe, this is - You're amazing!
Zoe: Haha! It's only a thought...
Emily: But it makes so much sense!
LATER
Emily:
Dee! Zoe said the most amazing thing today!
Dee: Oh! How is she?
Emily: Yeah, good, it was good to catch up, but listen!

Dee:
