“Oh! Hi there! I thought you were Becky for a second—sorry, guess I’ve just got her on my mind again. She’s always running off somewhere… Anyway, I’m Eileen! Not the Birthday Girl anymore, just… me. I’m really glad you’re here. Becky, Violet, Scoops—they mean the world to me. So, um, if you’re a friend of theirs, you’re a friend of mine.”
