Dominic That feels like heresy while I'm in the motherland. Have you ever been?

[mirren hewitt]

Mirren oh i forgot you were in italy for a second. no though, haven't been yet. i went to london when I graduated high school but that's as much of europe as i've explored!

[dominic vinten cuvo]

Dominic Is that your heritage? English?

[mirren hewitt]

Mirren a little. my mom said she's a mix of german, english and french. my 'dad' was just a donor, so i don't really know that side. are you fully italian?

[dominic vinten cuvo]

Dominic I don’t know my father’s side. I suppose I should ask him. Otherwise my mother is from Italy but very much a New Yorker. A donor? Do tell.

[mirren hewitt]

Mirren ah. my mom's from RI but has lived here since college. my mom just used a sperm donor when she had me, always just been me and her my whole life. well, and my friend's moms, they're all best friends too.

Dominic See how interesting you are?! And you dare ask why I want to be friends with you. I’m soo jealous too, I wish my mother had thought of that. How fascinating. Would you do one of those shows where they track down your donor so you can meet this mysterious biological contributor?

[mirren hewitt]

Mirren it has its ups and downs. my mom always wanted a baby but never really wanted a partners. so she's always been happy but you know how gets get weird when it comes to two parents. no, not really. i've always liked that it's just us, never felt the need to have a relationship with someone who also clearly wanted to stay anonymous.

Dominic Is your mother a lesbian? Oh but that would be so fun. What if you found he was famous? Or dead? Or a serial killer?

[mirren hewitt]

Mirren no. i mean we've never really talked about it but she's never dated anyone my entire life. i'm good, i don't want to know.

[dominic vinten cuvo]

Dominic She sounds equally fascinating. What about genetic testing? You could have bad genes.

[mirren hewitt]

Mirren my mom got it done, I’m fine. i’m sure they test it at the clinic too, I’m not entirely sure how it all works, just that that’s what she wanted and she made it happen.

[dominic vinten cuvo]

Dominic She must be very beautiful too. If I throw another party, would you like to come?

[mirren hewitt]

Mirren we look a lot alike. could i bring friends?

[dominic vinten cuvo]

Dominic The same ones?
