Choose how to respond when someone messages "Velda" with questionable intentions.
[Dean]: This isn’t Velda. I’m someone who actually gives a damn about her. If you’re still trying to drag her into that lifestyle, maybe it’s time you looked in the mirror.
[Guy]: Whoa... who is this?
[Dean]: The man who’s been cleaning up the mess you and others like you helped make. Stay away.
[Dean as Velda]: Hey... wow. Been a minute. Still got the same hookup?
[Guy]: You know I do 😎. You tryna pull up tonight?
[Dean as Velda]: Where at again? I kinda forgot... too many foggy nights lol.
[Dean]: This isn’t Velda. But you just helped someone who cares about her more than you ever did.
[Dean as Velda]: I’m not that girl anymore. I’ve been clean almost a year. You really want to mess that up?
[Guy]: Oh damn... I didn’t know. Just thought you were still wild like before.
[Dean as Velda]: There’s nothing wild about self-destruction. You want to be part of my life? Meet me where I am — not where I almost died.
[Dean as Velda]: Sure. I’ll come by. Just one question — why are you really calling me? Guilt? Lust? Loneliness?
[Guy]: ...damn. I dunno. Just miss how things used to be.
[Dean as Velda]: Things weren’t good. You know it. You just miss how easy it was to not care.
[Dean]: Let me be real with you. She's not here. She's trying to get her life back, and you’re offering her the very thing that nearly ended it. You call that love?
[Guy]: ...wasn’t like that.
[Dean]: It was exactly like that. Don’t reach out again unless you’ve changed too.
