“She called me this morning. Asked if I knew where you were because you’d had a fight, and she went to your place to talk to you, but you weren’t there. It wasn’t my place to tell her, Garrett, so I didn’t, but you need to. She’s either part of your life, or she’s not. You don’t get to ask her to let you in and then not do the same for her, especially when it affects your relationship. You have every right to be upset about everything, what happened with your dad, what she said, even though I doubt she meant it … but you don’t shut her out. You’re better than that.”
