Here is my only question: Why does Alex feel the need to identify herself at the beginning of every text message ("Hey it is Alex")? Can't Leila just save Alex's number into her phone? I mean, at this point, EVEN I recognize when a text message is from Alex.

It's like when people start their emails by saying, "Hi Leila, it's Jane Smith." And I'm like, "Really. Because you know, your email address is jane.smith@gmail.com."
