Peasy’s accent carries between Exes

“I was in Hollywood,” it said. “Just outside the Mount. Fighting with that metal …” The ex seemed to lose track of its thoughts, and for a moment I wondered if I’d made a mistake. “No,” it said. “I was in the mountains. One of those ski towns.”

It also had a strong Spanish accent, which was odd for a young blond man with Anglo features.
