I don't know. >> Okay. Just hold tight for me. I'm going to talk with her. >> Is it okay? >> Yes, ma'am. Absolutely. >> We came here for dinner. >> Did you call? >> Uh, I think she called. >> Okay. And I was explaining to her when we pulled out, I think we curved her on one side or the other, >> okay? >> And we were like, "Listen, I'm not pulling off on you. We've been here for 20 or 30 minutes, >> okay? >> That's not the vibe." >> Okay? >> But I was like, "Let's get here. I'm not sure if we're in a private parking lot or not. We went to secure after work and lunch and stuff and I was like, "Okay, we're not pulling off on her. >> Okay, >> we're here. Let's figure it out and then we'll get to where we need to be from here. >> Okay. So, how did the accident happen? >> Well, I think um >> here it is. They were I can't remember. They may have been Sorry. >> They may have been parking in one direction and we were parked in another. And so when we peeled off, we may have taken a right a hard right turn. >> I got you. And if you can see my car, we pulled off and then once we pulled off, we got to like the American Red Cross and we were like, "Oh [ __ ] we may have hit a car." And so we like turned around and parked here and we pulled back up to her before she realized, >> okay, >> we pulled into her. We did not pull off. >> So y'all didn't feel that? I mean, that because trust me, I've worked a lot of private property accidents. That's a That's significant damage. >> We pulled off and we turned to the right. We're like, "Oh [ __ ] we hit someone's car. Let's continue circle around." We did not pull off. I'm sure you can contest to the fact that we did not pull off. Your boyfriend got out and was like, "Hey, they're trying to make this right. You can contest to that." >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And then we pulled back around and we were like, "Hey, we don't want to pull off on you, but we do want to make sure we handle this in the right manner, >> but I've also heard about accidents in a private parking lot when multiple parties are involved." >> And so we and we started checking notes and tried to figure out like as soon as we pulled off what was happening and then we pulled right back around. >> Okay, that's that's all I was asking. That's all. Um, she can attest to that. >> Yeah, that's I mean, look, you you're here now. That's all I'm concerned about. >> We both are here. Literally, as soon as we pulled off, we both pulled back around and she can attest to that. >> Her significant other, I'm not sure >> where >> the person who was in the car with me is still right here. And I think her person went to the Dollar Tree. >> Okay. Does everybody have their licenses on them? >> Yeah. Angley, do you have your license? I'm going to put this here. >> All right. >> And I'm going to put my pen here. >> Yeah. You're going to grab my license.
