The Texting Incident

Stepmom, Dana (Vespoli), is leaving the house on her way to catch the train for work, when her adult stepson Chad (White) shows up distraught. She is desperate to soothe her sweet boy, but he is too flustered for words. He hands her his cellphone and when she sees the photos of his wife with another man, she completely understands. Stepmom tries to sympathize with him, but he's imagining all sorts of crazy things, fearful that she's dating. He's still quite close to his stepmom, she's been more of a mother to him than his own, even though she's divorced from his dad. Dana suggests he needs to get back out in the dating pool. It takes everything inside of her to offer such a suggestion, she has always fantasized of being 'with her boy,' no matter how taboo that sounds.
