I'm doing something a bit different for this episode. This chapter's events take place in the middle of the episode, rather than after the end. I think doing some chapters this way will expand what episodes I'll cover.
Thanks for reading!
Lynn pulled out her phone and made a call. "Hello, is this the McCauley residence?"
The voice on the other end replied, "yes. This is Mr. McCauley speaking."
"This is Lynn Loud, and I'm calling to apologize. I know that it was a disaster when I babysat your kids."
"That's an understatement. You nearly traumatized them."
Lynn responded, "I know, and I'm sorry. I was a terrible babysitter for your kids. It's just, please let my sisters off the hook. It's not their fault. They tried to stop me, but I wouldn't listen. I promise, you can hire them, and you won't get me."
McCauley was reluctant. "How can I trust you?"
Lynn sincerely replied, "I deserved that. Listen, I've learned my lesson, okay. You don't have to forgive me, just my sisters."
"Fine."
"Thanks, Mr. McCauley."
Lynn ended the call and sighed. "One down, four to go."
For the other four, Lynn talked in person. Which ironically made things worse. Apology punches are not helpful.
Up next: Middle Men
