Original subtitles

I don't like that.

I'm obsessed, I'm a fool, I'm taking love.

Oh, I love it when you hurt me.

Oh, I love it, you deserve me.

Would you like some more wine?

Sure. Are you still expecting someone, or...? I'll just take the check.

Hi.

No.

No. No.

You don't even know what I'm gonna say.

You just came into this restaurant and sat down with a random stranger.

And you expect me to have a conversation with you?

Is it really as crazy as you're making it sound?

Where they at?

Who? Your friends.

Because obviously they're watching you to see if you go through with whatever

bet or dare you think you're doing right now.

There's no one watching.

It's just me.

Hi.

Hello. My name's Josh. What's yours?

Too soon.

Too soon to know your name.

It's Faye.

Faye. Okay.

Now we're getting somewhere, Faye.

Is that short for something?

It is.

My name is Fevin.

Fevin.

That is a unique and beautiful name, Fevin. Where is it from?

I'm Eritrean.

You're what?

It's from Eritrea.

It's a country.

In Africa.

That's dope.

Okay. Say, what are you doing here by yourself?

Well, someone decided to do the opposite of what you're doing right now.

Sounds like a dumbass dude.

I didn't say it was a dude.

My bad.

Sounds like a dumbass person.

It was a dude.

Okay.

So what do you do, Faye?

I'm in marketing.

I'm an exec at my firm.

Marketing like online ads and all?

Yeah, exactly.

Okay. So what do you do?

See, now we're having a conversation.

I ask you something, you ask me something.

I'm a firefighter.

Oh, so...

You, like, save people.

I try.

How many people have you saved?

We don't really keep track of stuff like that.

Yeah.

How does it feel to save people?

More times than not, we're not able to save everyone.

So, I mean, when we can actually make a difference and give someone more time

with their loved ones, it's in.

It's an indescribable feeling.

That's admirable.

Thank you.

So is that what you think you're doing right now?

What?

Saving me?

I'm single.

And from the looks of it, so are you.

Look, I'm just on my way to my car and I see a beautiful woman just sitting here

alone.

I figured I'd come say hi.

I mean, worst case scenario, you tell me.

That you're not single and or not interested. And I would have accepted

walked away.

Best case scenario, you'd allow me to sit down and have this conversation with

you. So here I am.

So this is normal for you?

It's quite normal for me.

Coming into a restaurant and sitting with a complete stranger and just

No. This is not normal for me.

So you come here often?

But to Forever?

Yeah.

Been here a few times. Food's good. I like the place.

It's an interesting name for a restaurant, no?

What do you mean?

Like, Forever. Like, not Forever Cuisine or the Forever Place. Just

Forever.

Yeah, I guess.

So you said you were in the area for... Oh, everything's around here. My gym,

all the best restaurants.

I was on my way just trying to find some food. I live seven miles from here.

Wait, you live seven miles from here?

I do.

Huh.

What? I live seven miles from here.

North?

South.

Hmm.

Just seven miles, huh?

Just seven miles.

So, what is it that you want, Josh, right?

Well, what I would like is for you to meet me here this Wednesday for an

date and not one that I hijack that you think is somehow part of a dare.

Oh, don't get it twisted.

I still think somebody's watching.

Well, once again, Miss Faye, it's just you and I.

Now, about Wednesday.

Look, Josh.

You seem like a really nice guy.

But that sounds like a good way to go missing.

You do know that women go missing all the time, right?

I understand.

Okay.

I won't ask you for your number. I won't ask you for your social media. And I'll

give you mine.

How's that?

That's sweet.

But I think I'll pass.

Look, you're just some random dude who walked into a random restaurant on a

random Monday night.

I was walking by alone, and I see you sitting here alone. Look, I don't know

everything, but I think we could all use a bit more random in our lives.

Okay, let's do it this way.

Once again, I won't ask you for anything of yours. No information, no social

media, no nothing.

But I will be here, standing outside of this restaurant, this Wednesday at 7 p

.m. And if you happen to be walking into the same restaurant at the same time,

randomly, we can share a meal.

Fair?

I am going to regret this.

Fine.

If you happen to walk into the same restaurant that I'm walking into,

On Wednesday night at 7 p .m., then we can share a meal.

That sounds very random.

Oh, it is.

Well, Ms. Faye, it has been wonderful talking to you.

I will let you enjoy the rest of your night.

Okay, Mr. Josh.

So when did you move down here from New York?

About eight years ago.

Yeah.

What made you leave?

That simple.

There was no you.

Okay, if you didn't want to tell me, you just could have said that.

Nah.

Honestly, after my mom left my dad and I, I just... He got remarried and his

wife is a great fit for him, but it just...

I just felt like there was nothing left of me.

Yeah.

I think I know the feeling.

Yeah? Yeah.

I mean, I moved from Cali for better work opportunities, but my parents were

happy.

I don't know if you know anything about having an immigrant parent, but they're

not the most open -minded.

I mean, they love you and they want what's best for you, but...

Their idea of what it takes to be successful is a little different.

Well, how are they now?

Well, my dad, he passed away from cancer about five years ago.

But my mom, she came around.

She just wants us to be happy.

Only child?

I am now.

My brother, he passed away from a car accident a year after we lost my dad.

I'm so sorry.

No, but... Thank you, but my family is strong.

And me and my mom, we just pulled through it together.

Is there anything that you feel like you could lose yourself in?

What do you mean?

Like something that when you're in it.

Nothing else matters.

Like for some people, it's movies.

For other people, it's music.

But just like her alone and nothing else matters in the world.

Yeah, I think I got something.

Yeah?

What is it?

Poetry.

Poetry?

You? Yes, poetry, me.

No, poetry.

Not too many people know that about me, but...

I just love poetry and spoken word. I mean, it's been forever since I've been

an event, but I could just get lost in it for hours.

Wow.

That's cool.

For me, it's a star.

Like the sky?

Yeah.

Come.

Back home, there was just too many lights from too many buildings.

But out here, it's incredible.

It is beautiful.

It is.

Have you got any bad habits or crazy fears that I need to know about?

Well, there is one.

One fear.

What is it?

That this night's going to end.

So, tell me what the hell has been going on.

I feel like, what, it's been a month since we really caught up?

Babe, we talked to your ass last week on FaceTime, okay?

I don't want to hear none of that bullshit you're talking.

We want to know about this mystery guy you've been talking to.

You know, the one that crashed your dinner.

Because one, I still can't believe Randall stood you up after he begged to

you that night. And two, I can't believe you've been hiding him from us.

That shit happened, what, five, six months ago? Mm -hmm. I know you hiding

Okay.

First of all, I'm not thinking about Randall.

And secondly, I'm not hiding anybody from you guys.

And he did not crash my dinner.

Okay, fine. He crashed the dinner. Right.

But I was...

Eating alone.

I probably looked crazy. I was feeling crazy.

It was what I needed.

And, listen, I just wanted to be sure about him before I brought him

around. You know?

Especially with y 'all.

Y 'all know y 'all can be crazy.

What does he do?

What does he look like?

Is he short because you know I told your ass about dealing with these short

dudes? You do.

We want to see a picture.

And this was the crazy that I was referencing earlier?

No, baby girl.

We just want to see you happy.

No, we don't.

We want a picture. Come on.

All right.

Now, you know if you've got to search for the picture, he's ugly, right? Yes.

Give me that.

Mm -mm.

No. No.

No. What do you mean, no?

That's not him.

I don't know what firefighter, stripper, lumberjack, abs all oiled up, saved my

cat from a tree calendar you stole this picture from, but I did not come here to

be toyed with, ma 'am. This is him.

Wow.

15 years of friendship, and I still have to prove myself to y 'all hoes?

Whatever. You're terrible.

This is his IG.

Okay. Okay.

All jokes aside, tell us about him.

Well, he is a firefighter and an

EMT.

He's intelligent.

No kids.

Good credit.

Mm -hmm.

He's kind and caring and...

I don't know, he's just... I like him.

I mean, like, I really, really like him. Okay.

You know that we are happy for you. Thank you.

And Dana has a man, but the fact that I haven't been introduced to a cousin or a

brother or been invited to a firefighter dinner is disrespectful.

Respectful, to say the least.

And I'm not playing. First off, the last guy that I introduced you to, you

didn't like him because of his fingernails. And then the one before

eye.

His wandering eye.

And it was very difficult for me to tell if he was looking at my face or if he

was looking at the girl behind us in the blue dress.

And she had a fat ass.

Okay, honey, this might be a you problem.

Oh, y 'all don't even know me.

Whatever. So, when can we meet him?

Mm -hmm.

Oh.

Oh.

Uh -uh. Oh, no, we're not about to do all that. No, ma 'am.

Hey, just be yourself, okay?

They're gonna love you.

Look at me. I am not.

Nervous. These women have been your friends for years. I'm sure they trust

judgment.

Yeah. All right.

And by the way, you're looking cute today.

I'm looking cute too, girl. Don't play with me.

All right.

Faye, Faye.

So, Faye, who is this?

Everyone, this is Josh.

Hi, ladies.

Look at y 'all.

Just as elegant as I thought y 'all would be.

Well, you need to be prepared to do that shit all night long because we love

compliments.

You must be Dana.

What gave it away?

We've been friends all these years and ain't a single thing changed.

But that bank account has though.

Well,

it's nice to finally meet you, Dana.

Likewise.

And this is Kate.

Absolutely charmed.

Girl, shut up.

Stop. Okay.

And this is Jennifer and Melanie.

Okay, now that that's out of the way, talk about yourself.

And feel free to mention any cousins or brothers or friends that you feel

necessary.

Include Instagrams as well. Kate.

Too soon? Too soon.

Five minutes, maybe? Kate.

Okay. Okay.

So, Josh, we hear you're a firefighter. You guys don't really get paid a lot,

right?

How long have you been doing that?

Uh, about five years.

You see a lot of crazy things?

Yeah, but you know, it's a part of the job.

Mm -hmm, mm -hmm, mm -hmm.

So your crew, do they wear, like, rings on their left finger

or somewhere?

Stop it. I'm just inquiring about the man's occupation.

To follow up on your question, the job is rigorous sometimes, but I really do

love helping people, you know?

Faye tells us you're a little superstitious, Josh.

So she snitched on me. She told on you, just a little bit.

Something about you guys living the same distance from the restaurant where you

met forever?

I believe that seven is the number of completion. And when it comes to that

night, that beautiful night that we met,

I believe that the destination wasn't necessarily the restaurant forever. I

believe that it was each other.

So the way y 'all met was?

Listen, I know it sounds crazy, I know. But I just felt compelled.

Like, there was this beautiful woman just sitting there alone.

And I just figured, why not walk up to her, have a conversation?

You know, but it worked.

So you think Faye's the one?

I sure hope so.

Well, you should know that we're all very fierce protectors of our girl,

You've seen the movie The Woman King, right? The one with Viola Davis?

Fucking up all the dudes?

Yeah, I've seen it. I'm Viola Davis, and you would be dudes if you hurt Faye.

Got it.

Well, you ladies have heard about me, but now...

I would like to hear about y 'all.

Oh, I can do this part.

Dana is an accountant.

She's our finance lady.

Melanie over here is a defense attorney.

So if we ever need to slap a hoe, we ain't gonna be in jail too long. You

never seen a married woman get this many people off before.

And Jennifer is a traveling nurse. She out here saving lives and whatnot.

And Kate is... Well, Kate is our...

We love Kate.

Listen, I make a living.

Okay. Anyway, these are my girlfriends, my sisters, officially.

Well, it's nice to finally meet you, ladies.

Officially.

So, are we drinking here or?

Oh, I'm in. Me too.

Yeah.

Oh, my God. You were amazing tonight.

This isn't one of your slightly sarcastic yet quietly funny jokes.

No, no.

I'm serious.

For real.

You did great.

Real, real, real.

No. For real, real.

So, you think your friends liked it?

Loved you.

They loved you.

You're doing a lot right now.

No, I just want to make it clear.

Um, Jennifer?

She's harmless, really.

She just had some bad luck with relationships.

She's just scorned. Let's leave it at that.

I understand that.

So... So, did you mean what you said in there? About hoping that I'm the one?

Doesn't everybody hope that about the person they're being?

I mean, in the general sense, yes.

But... I want to know if you really hope that I'm the one.

Or if you were just saying that for my friends and me.

So that they'd like you.

Which I'm positive that they do.

Unless, of course, you were doing some sort of mind control thing that I'm

unaware of.

Was that mind control or was that my boyish charm? I'm a little confused.

I don't know, Mr. Fireman. You tell me.

Oh, that was all me.

That was all me.

And?

And yes.

I do hope you're the one.

Do you hope I'm the one?

I do.

Look at that.

No control needed.

Good, because I don't want to be in control of anyone.

Although I do like being told what to do sometimes.

Uh -huh.

Get in the car. I want to take you somewhere.

Where are we going?

Don't worry about it. You're not going to tell me where we're going? Look at

you, miss. I like being told what to do sometimes. Get in the car.

This better be good, you using my lines on me. Uh -huh, it will be.

Josh, where are we?

Can I open my eyes now? All right, all right.

Coming all the way from New York City.

Joshua, don't call me mister.

What?

In the rhythm of life, hear the echoes of strength.

Women of color, embodiments of grace, breaking through length.

From the roots that whisper tales of resilience, they bloom like sunflowers,

defying all indifference.

Melanated queens, adorning histories and breaks.

Their stories paint constellations across time and space.

Your juice and time.

Voicemail can I. Tell you I need you today.

If you can let's play time.

Give me some new time.

You know I want you.

The things that we can do.

What you feel for me.

I'm trying to give to you.

So how you trying to be?

Where you trying to go?

How you trying to play?

Oh, just let me know.

Let me know.

Morning. Morning.

You know, I'm really glad that you crashed my dinner.

Coming from someone who swore she was on a reality show, that means a lot.

Don't act like you don't know what you guys be up to. That ain't me.

That ain't me. Okay.

Look, so, um, tell me something about you that I don't know.

And don't make nothing up.

Don't make nothing up either.

I wasn't going to. I was actually thinking.

Okay.

Um... You don't know that I love you?

You love me.

I do.

I love you too.

But I said something that I don't know.

Well, you don't know how much.

Well, tell me how much then.

I love you from...

That end of the room to that end of the room.

This end of the room to that end of the room? Mm -hmm.

Yeah, that ain't that much.

Well, that's because you see that cabinet right there?

Yeah. When you open that, there's a whole nother realm on the other side.

So once you factor that in, it's a lot.

Another realm.

Okay.

Okay.

It's a lot of love. It is.

Okay.

So tell me.

How was that?

At what?

You know.

Oh, um... You were... You were okay.

Alright. Alright.

I mean... You were great.

I don't...

I don't know. How am I supposed to remember what happened yesterday?

You're funny.

You can always remind me, though.

Stay home, not go to work.

As much as I would love that, someone else might need saving today.

Excuse me?

Remember how I told you that we use ladders in most of the rescues in the

Yeah. Well, the way you were going up and down my ladder last night. I'm just

saying, you might need saving. I don't know.

Why don't you just go to work, Mr. Fireman?

I'm going.

I'm out of here, girl.

And don't be doing no extra saving.

No promises.

All right, play with me if you want to.

Couldn't get enough of me, huh?

Hey.

No. Frank, please.

Just let me speak.

Miranda, what the hell do you want?

I don't have anything to say to you.

Look, I know that there are not enough words I can even say to begin to convey

how sorry I am. How stupid I am.

Okay, look, I was just going through a lot of crazy things. It was so crazy

you couldn't pick up a fucking phone? I'm sorry.

And in what world is it okay for you to just show up at someone's house?

I mean, like, what is wrong with you? I'm in love, okay? And that's what's

with me.

Look, not a day goes by that I didn't think about you, okay? And when I

felt like I had the courage to come talk to you, I knew you deserved better. And

so I got better.

I told myself that I would not reach out to you until I got my life together.

I come back in school to get my master's.

I meditate.

I sold both of the barbershops and bought a seafood restaurant just like we

talked about.

I just... Okay, just stop.

I'm with someone now.

What? Yeah.

I'm with someone.

And honestly, you have truly impeccable timing because I

only met him because you stood me up.

And honestly, you just missed him.

Do you love him, though?

Randall, I'm not doing this with you, okay? I don't owe you any answers.

And bottom line, I moved on.

So should you.

You don't mean that.

I do.

Now, I think you should go.

Hey, Faye. Kelly wants to see you in her office when you have a sec.

She's in one of her rooms.

Okay. Thank you, Christine.

I'll be right there.

Hey,

Kelly.

You wanted to see me?

Yes, baby.

Come on in and have a seat.

What are you doing?

What do you mean?

You and my company.

What are you doing?

The same thing that I've been doing for the past six years?

Working? Getting you more clients?

You think so?

Because the owner of Flat Rate Magazine referenced you twice as the owner of K

-Pro Marketing.

Reference you.

That's the owner.

No,

no, no, no, no, no, no.

See, this is my company.

So I don't know what the hell you call yourself doing, but I gave you a shot

where no one else would.

I've never referenced myself as the owner of this company.

Not to Flat Rate Magazine, not to anyone.

Ever.

And I can't help that people are calling and requesting me personally over the

other execs for interviews.

Now, I thank you for giving me a chance.

But every dollar that I brought to this company has always hit your account

first before it ever hit mine.

Now, I come in early. I work late. I work on my days off.

Now, you tell me, what more do you want from me?

I want you to remember whose company name is on your paycheck.

We done here?

For now.

So you telling me that you just woke up on a woman that you don't know, sat at

her table, and started a conversation out of nowhere?

Nigga, you be bugging. See, that's why I waited so long to tell you. Because of

this, right here.

How long has it been?

Six months.

Six months?

Yeah.

Any red flags yet?

Like what you mean?

You know, like controlling issues, crazy ass exes, thirst traps on social media.

No.

Nothing?

So, uh...

You let her know yet?

Oh, you know I can't tell her, man.

Charles, she walked into her life, not the other way around.

What I'm supposed to do, man? I'm supposed to just, like, not pursue

It's like wither up and die?

Now, you know that's not what I'm saying.

But what I am saying is it's been six months, so I know things are starting to

get serious.

You got to tell that girl you're still married, bro.

You can run from it all you want, but it's bound to catch up with you.

Jess won't sign that paper, man.

She... She's making this so much more difficult than it has to be right now,

man. Be honest with me.

Do you really want her to sign a paper?

What you mean, though? We talking about Jeff here.

And we both know that you still love him.

I... Josh.

Get your shit together.

Seriously, bro.

Don't blow up with this girl if you feel for her the way that you say you do.

Now, you know me and Teresa been doing a lot of shit in our marriage.

But the one thing that's helped us get through it all is honesty.

You want my advice?

Here it is.

Get Jess to sign that paper and get her to fuck out your life, bro.

She's not the one.

It's time to let her go.

I hear you, man.

No, I'm serious.

All right.

All right.

Man, we balling or what? Because I know you ain't got no more money to bet. I

actually do have more money to bet, Owen.

Well, you all kinds of stupid today.

You're cheating.

Ma, asking me when I'm going to get married every single time we're on the

is not going to make it happen any faster.

But Faye, all you do is work.

You won't get old one day and have nothing to show for it but money. And

can't take that with you, honey.

Listen, when I meet the perfect guy, then that'll be the focus.

But for now, let's just let it happen naturally.

lost your father, it was so sudden.

All I could think about from the moment he passed were all the moments we spent

together.

The ones we spent alone with you at Test 5.

All the fun, the laughter, the arguments, the love

we shared raising you two.

I can't get those moments back.

We are not guaranteed a tomorrow, baby.

But contrary to belief, my generation isn't out here against love.

We're not all just walking around trying to be selfish.

We're just goal -oriented.

A family is a goal.

God forbid if you left right now, what can you say you'd be able to give this

world?

Besides the things that began with your personal desire.

That is the question you have to ask yourself, baby.

I love you.

Love you too, Mom.

All right. Bye, sweetie.

Bye.

Josh?

Josh?

Josh?

Uh, what?

Josh. I know it's difficult to talk about it, but I really believe it'll

you don't avoid talking about the tough calls when you come in here.

You can continue.

Okay.

We pulled her from the wreckage, but she wasn't breathing.

So I started CPR.

I was so sure that I could get it back, but

she

wasn't responding.

And she was eight.

Eight years old.

She wanted to be

A senator.

Not a TikTok star.

Not a social media influencer.

A senator.

I'm sorry.

Her parents, they were...

They were watching us work her and they were telling her to fight, screaming at

her to fight, but I knew she was

already going up.

In my job, we see so much.

And you know, nothing really gets to me, but

The calls with the children.

They grab a hold of me and sometimes they don't let go.

Do you feel that you could have done more?

No, not at all.

Then I feel...

You should let it go and not let it hold onto you, Josh.

You did the best that you could.

You did your job.

You did it well by the sound of it.

Some things are just out of our control.

Yeah.

Can we talk about something else?

Sure.

Have you told Faye about Jessica yet?

Something else.

Now, I thought I told y 'all to leave the packages in the driveway.

Oh, well, I can always return my ass to Sender. That's not a problem.

Oh, no, you will not. You will bring your fine ass in here.

Come on, girl.

Got you a little something.

Oh, thank you.

No problem, girl.

Um, where's the food?

I thought you were cooking, Jeff.

Actually, actually, I was thinking that

we could cook together since I'm a terrible chef.

I knew it. I knew it.

Come here. Come here. Come here. We gonna do this together.

I'm gonna wash the hair. I'm gonna wash the hair. Turn around. Turn around. I'm

gonna wash the hair. Yes.

I got you. Oh, you know what? A chef that needs assistance in the kitchen,

should be ashamed of yourself. It keeps me up most nights, honestly.

Okay. So how do I look?

Magnificent. So what's on the menu?

I'm thinking baked teriyaki salmon, cilantro, lime, white rice, and steamed

vegetables. How's that sound?

Hmm.

I mean, if you could cook it as well as you could dream it up, then you'd be all

set.

Well, we can't all be perfect, can we?

I mean, I would say hats off to the chef, but that would be me, right?

Oh, you're welcome. Oh, that's very humble of you, Faye. So humble.

I try, I try.

Come on, let's dig in before it gets cold. Let's do it.

Is that you?

I think so. One second.

You want to take that?

Nah, this is just some weight.

So, how's work been?

Stressful, but a good stressful. Honestly, I can't complain. We just

Seriously. You should take that, especially if it's a work call.

It's not work. And you know what?

I want to give you my full attention. Doesn't even matter.

That's sweet.

But don't let me keep you from your friends either. I don't, I really don't

mind.

It's not a friend.

You're family then.

No.

Your accountant?

Not your accountant.

What's going on, Josh?

What's up?

It's, uh... It's my wife.

I'm sorry, what?

Look,

we're separated. We are. But technically,

we're still married.

I'm still trying to process the whole my wife thing.

Look, I was trying to find the right time to tell you. No, the right time to

tell me would have been when you sat your ass down and ambushed my date.

Ambushed? Faye, you was sitting there alone because somebody stood you up. I

didn't ambush anything.

You know that. Oh, so that was an invitation for you to involve me in your

bullshit.

Got it.

Faye. Faye.

Faye, Faye, Faye, Faye, Faye, Faye, Faye. What the fuck, Josh?

I... You, you what?

You try to tell me or you were hoping this would never come up?

And that's what I thought.

Please just let me explain.

Well, how... How could you possibly explain this bullshit?

Just let me try.

Oh, my God. You know what? No, no.

How long were you married?

Three years.

What, you got kids, too?

No kids.

No.

When did you separate, Josh?

About five months before you and I met. But please, look.

Faye, let me explain.

Look, I'm not in a relationship.

I didn't cheat and I never lied to her.

But she just got... She just got distant. She started...

She started changing.

Look, I don't know if it was someone else. I don't know if he just got tired

the same with whom, but he just slowly stopped speaking to me.

She started coming home late. Didn't she stop coming home at all?

I tried to talk to her about it for months, but she

refused to talk to me.

I showed up at her job one day to find out we don't even work there anymore.

And that was the same day I found out she changed her number.

What?

You had six months to say something.

Six months.

Every day that we spent together, every night that we slept together, and

you said nothing.

You could have said, something at any time

i can't believe i fell for it

oh god you know you you come off all

sweet and fucking innocent like some black knight in

shining armor and wow you just another

pathetic, ain't shit nigga.

You know, you can keep that bullshit ass sob story.

Hey, you know it's not that simple. Fuck you, Josh.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hello.

She found out, didn't she?

I told her.

Man, this is exactly what I... Don't, man. Don't rub it in, please.

Come on then, bro.

Everything was going good, bro.

Great night.

I mean, we had just finished cooking. We're sitting down at the table.

And Justice keeps calling, bro, like three, four times in a row.

I ignored the calls, but face off. And I

didn't want to lie. I mean, I kind of did want to lie, but I

couldn't do that to her. So I just told her the truth.

And what happened?

Shit went nuclear, bro.

Nuclear.

What, like she was yelling at you?

Yelled, cursed my ass out, broke up with me, left the whole shit.

Well, how was she yelling at you? Because you know that matters. Was it

my God, how could you do this to me? Or was it like, I know the fuck you did.

You ain't shit like the rest of these niggas.

No.

Did she at least appreciate the fact that you came clean?

I mean, she could have if I would have told her six months ago.

Well, look, I hate to be the one to say it. Oh, come on, bro. Not now, man.

Don't.

Did you eventually answer the phone for Jessica?

Yeah.

And?

You want her back.

No, I love Faye.

I love Faye.

That's what this is, right?

Man, you ain't got to convince me.

You got to convince yourself because I don't even think you believe what you're

saying right now.

Damn.

Yeah, you're welcome.

What the hell am I going to do, bro?

You got to choose.

Ain't nobody going to blame you for going back to your wife.

Well. I will.

Because I can't stand that. Yo, she's not my wife, O.

But she is, though.

Like, she's literally your wife.

She left me.

She did.

And regardless of all of that, you still love her.

What you gonna do?

Jaybird, can you please say something? Don't call me that.

I'm still your wife. Oh, barely, Jessica.

Barely. You won't sign the papers.

No, I won't sign the papers.

Don't play with me.

Okay? Just don't play. What do you want?

You know what I want.

I want you.

I want us.

Tell me, Jessica.

Jess, where was this energy a year ago?

Tell me.

Because it's really feeling like I'm a plan B.

It's really feeling like whatever you thought you needed to go find, you

couldn't. So now you're back with what's familiar, what you can count on.

You know, I always wondered what I would feel, how I would be when I finally saw

you again.

But now that you're here, right in front of me,

I realize I'm angry.

As angry as I thought I would be, but not with you.

I'm angry with myself for holding on and for fighting so long when you gave me

nothing in return.

You... You were just... I what?

I what, Josh?

I'm evil?

And I intended to hurt you?

I'm not.

And I didn't.

Because I love you more than anything in this world.

And I know I hurt you and it's something that I can't take back.

But you are and you always have been the man for me.

And I'm sorry, I didn't realize that before.

Can I ask you something?

Do you still love me?

Just... Be honest.

Just don't ask me that.

Josh, please.

Okay, just tell me even if it's something that I don't want to hear.

And I could always tell when you were lying to me, so just... Just tell me and

I'll know what I have to do.

I... Josh, please.

I have a girlfriend.

For how long?

For six months.

Okay.

Josh, you still didn't answer my question.

Do you still love me?

I still love you.

Okay.

Um... I kind of told Teresa

that we'd have drinks with her and Owen. You what?

I just... You were just so sure that you could call me nonstop to win me back?

No. And then make plans for us like we some happy -ass couple? No.

Get out, Jessica.

Baby. Don't call me that.

Get out.

Josh, please. Go, Jessica.

Faye? Faye, what the hell? We've been calling you. You're lucky I had your

key.

Faye, what's wrong?

Faye.

He's married.

Who's married?

You know who.

Josh.

He's married.

I knew something was up with his ass.

Can you chill?

Say, you playing, right? Please tell me you playing because I didn't come over

here for bullshit.

I wish I was playing.

There's no game, no bullshit. He is literally married.

Hey, I'm so sorry.

How did you find out?

He told me like two days ago.

He just called while we were eating and he called like

four times. And so I pressed him about it and he kept dodging the question. So

kept asking him and then he finally told me everything.

Wow.

Wow.

I mean, he said they broke up a year ago and that he tried to file for divorce,

but she just wouldn't sign. But I don't know if any of this is true.

Well, Faye, technically, he was single then.

Look, he lied. He omitted a bunch of shit he should have told you. But, Faye,

'all were together every day for six months.

He still loves her.

Wait, he told you that shit?

No, but I can feel it.

I mean, he didn't bat an eye when she called.

He didn't seem surprised or anything.

Wouldn't you be surprised if someone you hadn't spoken to in a year, who you're

married to, just called you out of the blue?

Just back to back. I mean...

You know as well as I do, like with you and Keith, that you can't just

turn something off like that. Yes, the hell you can. Fuck him. You know these

dudes are trash. Yo, can you not?

She doesn't need that right now.

Damn.

Look, ignore her, okay? She's hella bitter.

She's not wrong.

You're right, okay? You can't just turn something like that off.

But Faye, you're really going off of speculation right now. You don't know if

any of this stuff is true.

Look, I really think y 'all just need to talk.

You just need to call him and tell him you want to talk about it. And then you

ask him all the questions you want to ask.

And then go from there.

I don't know, you think?

Yeah, I do.

I've been ignoring his calls this whole time. I mean, he's even stopped calling

at this point.

I don't think he wants to talk to me.

And... And I blew up at him.

You did?

Girl, I read him for filth and walked out.

But I don't know if I'd go back.

That's my fae -fae.

But I really think you should try.

I mean, look, you know how many women are out there single and don't want to

It's hard out there in these dating streets. Hell, it's hard for...

People who are in a relationship.

Love is hard. You got to work at it.

You know?

Now look, I'll be the first one to go to war for you if anybody hurts you.

But I'm also a realist.

And if there's any chance that you found your person, like he's the one for you,

you got to see that shit through.

I mean...

No situation is ideal.

But you got to at least try.

Okay?

Okay.

All right, girl.

Oh, wait. Oh, wait. Oh, wait.

Well, Kate just

met this amateur wrestler.

Who also is that interior designer on the weekend?

I don't know, girl. They met on Lonely Lovers who also like

ExquisiteFood .com.

I don't know. I don't know.

We just got to tag along.

It's giving.

She's going to go missing and it's going to take them four days to find her. I

understand. I love you, girl.

I love you, too.

Rough day?

More like a rough week.

I'd ask if you want another old -fashioned, but I'm afraid you might say

Here, let me take this.

Am I really that bad?

Girl, I'm a bartender.

Recognizing a crisis comes with a job.

My heart was broken by the man that I love.

He cheat on you?

He a catfish?

He steal your identity to buy a 2019 Dodge Charger?

No.

But we're... Don't tell me he's married.

Hell no, girl.

I am...

So sorry.

I just... I don't even know what to do.

Girl, what you mean?

You're going to leave his ass alone. He's married.

No, I know. I know, but... Still love him.

I do.

What is it?

He says that they're separated.

And we spent nearly every day together for six months.

Maybe you should call him.

I did.

I did.

A few times, actually, but... Radio silence.

For two days now.

So... I don't know.

Maybe... Maybe it just wasn't real.

Look.

I have a knack for picking up on good people when I see them.

And life is too short to spend it on an unknown love.

You deserve happiness.

Not this.

Look.

I don't know this dude, okay?

But you...

Or beautiful.

And he's obviously just fucking stupid, so... You're gonna bounce back, babe.

You will.

Thank you for saying that.

Everything may seem out of whack right now, but it never makes sense when

in it.

You'll know when you know. You know?

Yeah.

You know what? I'm gonna... I'm gonna get out of here.

Nuh -uh.

Not like that you're not. I'm calling your ass an Uber.

No. I'm fine. I'm good.

Maybe not.

God, this is embarrassing.

No, honey. Enrique running off with your identity to buy a 2019 Dodge Charger in

your name is embarrassing.

You're just going through the motions, babe.

Hey, um, thanks for agreeing to at least have this dinner tonight.

You know, and I figured with Owen being there, it would make it easier for

everyone.

I think we're going to have a good time.

Hey.

Look.

Look, Jess, just... This doesn't change anything.

Look, I still don't even know who you are. Like, really, who you are.

I don't know where you were, and I don't know what you were doing.

Okay.

I promise I'll tell you anything that you want to know.

Mm -hmm.

Hey, is everything okay?

Uh, yeah, we're good.

Hey, can we at least try to have a good time tonight?

Okay.

Look at that, man.

Hey! Hey. How are you?

I'm getting better.

Where's Trica?

Oh, she's out back on the patio.

You know this is dumb as hell, right?

Oh, you told me I had to choose. How am I supposed to know what to do if I don't

spend no time with her? Yeah, you spend time around her, not me.

And when I said choose, I meant choose Faye.

Choose Faye, Josh.

But I couldn't tell you that then.

But now I don't care because you're involving me in this shit.

And you know I know.

Oh, I know.

I know, but look.

Can we just do this? Can you just do this for me?

Please, tonight, just for me, man.

Alright. But when I call to use your first responder's discount at Chipotle,

don't want to hear nothing.

Alright, dude.

Alright. Alright.

Hey, T. How you been?

I've been good, bro. How you been? Last time you were at the house, I missed

you. You ain't missed much. Just me and her old talking nonsense about life. Oh,

I'm sure it was the nonsense.

Oh, it was.

So, Jess, tell me.

How's work? What's been going on?

Yeah, Jess, what's going on?

You still a marriage therapist?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm still at it.

Those are the ones that counsel marriages to stay together, right? And

desert each other?

Works good, I hope.

Yeah, yeah, it's been really good.

Recently I've been focusing on the communication aspect in relationships as

whole. And, you know, I realize I should have probably had my clients focus on

that in the beginning instead of having them just vent and talk at each other.

Oh, so you focus on communication in marriages.

Exactly. All right, so if you have a wife who leaves her husband for a whole

year for selfish reasons, obviously, and she knows he's a good dude, but she

didn't communicate, do you think she deserves another chance?

Owen.

No, look.

Baby, I want to know what the hell she was thinking when she showed up here.

After you left my right -hand man high and dry.

You changed your number. You changed your job.

And then you didn't even have the ball.

I'm sorry, the ovaries to be woman enough to sign a divorce paper. Owen.

What?

No, Teresa, it's fine.

He's right.

I did push Josh away.

And I did leave him.

And...

I did purposely become distant because, honestly, I was too much of a coward to

finalize the divorce.

And it was one of the worst mistakes I've ever made in my life.

But there is nothing more important to me now than my marriage.

And trust me, I have cried and pleaded and begged to God to help Josh find it

his heart to give me a second chance.

I don't believe you.

Do it right now.

Josh? You don't have to do this right now, Jessica.

Josh.

It is really, really not necessary, Jessica.

Joshua.

Yes?

You are the most important person in my life.

And I don't know why I couldn't see that before. I was a fool.

I was an immature little girl forever walking out on our marriage, but I swear

to you, if you give me a second chance...

I will spend every day trying to make it up to you.

You won't be able to get so much of a cold without me being by your side.

I will be the wife that I should have been from the very beginning.

Joshua, I am so sorry.

Please forgive me.

Baby, I'm sorry, but I can't listen to this bullshit from this chick no more.

Jay, you want to believe her?

It's on you, but I ain't here for it.

Yes, I don't think this is the right time or place for this right now.

But it is.

I wasn't private about what I did.

I mean, your family knows and your friends obviously hate me.

I hurt you for the world to see.

So if I can apologize from the depth of my soul and hope to get you back, I will

do it.

I can't do this right now.

I... I just can't.

I'm... I'm sorry, T.

Jack, you just gotta give him some time.

Men don't forgive as easily.

I hope you ain't over there buying that bullshit yourself.

If you really want this to work, you have to be honest with yourself and with

Josh. I am being honest with myself, Teresa.

It's him.

It's Josh. He's my person.

Man, I just don't want to see you go back into that dark place you was in

she left.

You wasn't eating.

You wasn't talking to nobody.

You was walking around here like a fucking zombie.

I love him. I just, I don't know how I can get him to see that.

I could go the rest of my life hating her for what she did to you.

Or I could also go the rest of my life trying to understand how you're even

considering this.

You do it by letting him come back to you in his time.

If it's what you truly want to do, man, I'll support you.

You mean that?

Unfortunately, I do.

All right, ma 'am.

Okay.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Let's go back in here and get this shit over with.

Let's do it.

Thanks for coming to get me.

I'll probably just call AAA in the morning and get everything sorted out.

Look,

you can sleep here for the night, but I'm about to go upstairs. I'm tired. Get

some sleep.

Okay. All right? Yeah.

Jessica?

Jessica?

Hey, handsome.

How'd you sleep?

I feel good.

Why are you in my bed?

I just wanted to be close to you.

Jess?

Yeah?

Why'd you leave me?

I thought I needed more in my life, and I didn't know what it was.

I mean, we were together every single day since we were kids, and...

Here I am meeting all these different people and seeing all these sides of

I just... You got bored.

Yeah.

I wasn't enough.

No.

You were always, you were always enough for me. I was stupid.

What's stopping you from getting bored again?

Jessica, I'm the same dude.

I work the same job and I believe in all the same things.

Josh, you know I would die for you.

I don't need you to die for me, Jessica. I wanted you to live for me.

Do you still believe in forgiveness?

I do. I just... I just don't know if I can trust you.

I get that.

Trust is a hard thing once it's been lost, but... Babe, I'm willing to do

whatever it takes.

Okay? Whatever it takes.

I think we should just take it one day at a time.

Alright, look.

Just... One day at a time.

Okay. Do you have to work today?

I do.

You got somewhere to be?

No, not today.

I was hoping I could drop you off at work and pick you up in the morning.

I think you should go home and I'll call you later.

Promise?

I promise. I'll call you later.

Okay.

I'll be waiting on that call.

Okay.

Hey, Faye.

You doing okay?

I'll be fine.

Thanks.

I do hope so.

Do you want the good or the bad news first?

Give me the bad news.

Kelly wants to see you again.

It's one of those meetings.

Great.

Girl, between you and me, like, I might be out of pocket for saying this, but

you don't deserve the shit they put you through here.

With the great job you do and the money that you bring in, you don't deserve it.

I appreciate you saying that.

So what's the good news?

There's a man here to see you.

Really?

He's right out there with flowers.

Oh.

Okay.

Could you tell him that I'll be out in a minute?

Yes, of course.

Thank you.

What are you doing here?

Just had to see your face, okay?

Look, I know your job can be very stressful. And I was just around... I'm

to ask you again, okay? What are you doing here?

I'm fighting for you, Faye.

Oh, my God. Look, listen.

I'm asking for a chance to prove to you that I've changed.

I won't actively try to win you back.

But just allow me to show you that I've changed as a person.

What exactly are you asking here?

Spend time with me.

We can do anything you want.

We can go to the park.

We can go get some food. We can get a drink.

Look, now I've worked.

And I've worked to become the person that you know I can become.

That I know I can become.

Okay.

Fine. But if you even try to kiss me or get all touchy or act like I'm your

girlfriend or anything like that, date's over.

Okay. And I will cut you off this time for good.

Okay. I got it.

I got it.

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow. 6 .30.

Okay.

I'm going to make you happy.

Randall, I really have to get back to work?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. Okay.

Okay, love.

Hey.

I got these for you.

Thank you.

Come in.

Kelly, have a seat, baby.

No, no, no.

Go sit behind the desk.

Yeah, I'd rather not.

I'd rather you do.

I'd rather stand.

Sit at the desk, baby.

You like it?

How does it feel sitting behind the desk?

How does it feel being a head boss bitch, baby?

Do you feel powerful?

Do you feel wealthy?

Do you feel that I wouldn't find out that you're Starting your own fire.

I reached out to a friend and inquired about the proper steps if I were to do

at some point.

Not saying that that point is now.

Why you didn't come talk to me?

I remember when you were trying to get your feet wet in this industry.

No one knew who you were.

No one would even give you a shot.

You had been to six firms.

Six.

And still couldn't get hired.

Because they thought, and I quote, you lack confidence.

It's very rude and disrespectful to bite the hand that feeds you.

But nibble on this.

See, money doesn't buy you everything, but it does buy you eyes and ears all

over this industry.

Eyes and ears that didn't even know they were eyes and ears.

That's what happens when you spend 20 successful years in the industry and

so many people so much money that they feel indebted to you.

So when a young, conniving wannabe begins secretly playing the role of

people tend to reach out to me.

I told you, I've never called myself the owner or boss or whatever word

you want to use to convince yourself what you already believe, obviously.

I've reached out to who I thought was a friend.

Marian Gray, right?

Marian Gray worked for me 10 years before you did.

I bet she didn't tell you that, and I did.

You're done.

What? You're fired.

You want to be me so bad?

With nothing.

So just like that?

Just like that.

Now get your conniving ass out of my office.

Faye, what the hell happened?

Exactly what we thought was going to happen.

This isn't fair.

I've learned more from you over the past year than everybody else combined over

the past three.

Thanks.

What are you going to do now?

I don't know.

You're a good person, Faye. You were always incredible at what you do.

You're better than this place.

I appreciate that.

Listen, don't get trapped here. All right? If you need anything, call me.

It's so easy to get wrapped up in this.

I'm sorry. You know what? Let me just take this.

Hey, D, I can't really talk right now.

What fire station did you say Josh was with again? Um, 33.

Why?

Okay, remember I told you that I found out I had a cousin that works for the

same department he does?

Okay. There was a collapse at a house fire they were fighting.

Josh got hurt.

He's in the hospital.

Which hospital?

Downtown General.

Okay, alright, I gotta go, I gotta go.

I'm sorry. I didn't know anybody was here.

You're good.

You're Faye, right?

Um... Yes.

I'm sorry.

I don't believe we met.

No.

No, we haven't.

You're his girlfriend, right?

Well, I'm... I'm his... Well, it's nice to finally meet you, Faye.

I'm his wife.

His wife.

Jess. No, it's Jessica.

Right.

Are... Are you guys together?

We're working on ourselves.

Together.

Right.

But are you... You're not in, like, a relationship.

I'm sorry. Did you need something?

I just wanted to... Check on Josh.

He's good.

Okay, I just wanted to see for myself.

Well, unfortunately, visitation at this point is for family only.

And you're not his family.

If he wanted to talk to you, he would have reached out to you.

The battalion chief contacted me.

His wife.

Now, did you get a call?

You okay, Faye?

We do fucking deserve each other.

Faye?

Faye? Who?

Uh... Uh, nothing.

Babe, you just need to relax and get some rest.

Owen and Teresa are on their way over here now.

Yo, Josh.

Josh.

I know you home, Josh. Open the door, man.

Yo, bro, it's time to stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Oh, so you're not going to open the door?

I'm going to scream in the window and let all your neighbors know how you act

when you got drunk in the strip club that time.

You going to answer your phone now?

I've been busy.

Busy doing what?

You're not working.

And from the looks of this place, you're not cleaning.

Yo, man, how you keep your kitchen like this?

You survived, Jay.

And you're still here.

And life should be enjoyed and lived to the fullest.

I remember when me and Teresa was going through our stuff.

You said you wasn't gonna let me drown in my misery.

Well, here I am to make sure that you don't drown in yours.

You're not dead, bro.

At least not yet.

She here?

No. Man, you better watch your ass.

Oh, come on, man.

What's up with y 'all anyway?

Y 'all officially back together?

I ain't even going to joke or act like I know what you're going through.

Because I don't.

How long has it been?

Two months.

You're healing up good, though.

Yeah.

When you take that shit off?

Today.

You're almost back, boy.

Yeah.

You think she went from one?

Who?

I don't know.

You miss her, don't you?

Yeah.

I can't tell you what to do.

And I know I usually give you shit about the decisions that you make.

But you don't need that right now.

It's one of those situations, man, where you really got to follow your heart.

Now get up, man.

Because the way that kitchen look, I know you ain't got shit in there to eat.

Let's go get some food. I'm good, man.

A drink?

Um, nah.

Alright.

Go see her, Jay.

Don't call.

Don't give her a chance to ignore another phone call or a text.

Find out where she is or where she's gonna be pop up and tell her you need to

talk It's worth a shot I'm

out

Hey. Hey.

You look nice.

Thank you.

Where are you going?

I just figured I was going to... I'm just sick of being in the house. I

I was going to just grab the car, go get some food, get some air.

Okay. Yeah, that sounds good. I mean, we could definitely use some time out.

I will go get changed, and then we can get dinner and take a walk through the

park, yeah?

Okay.

Yo, look Jay, I can't talk right now. Are you about to let me do that thing?

talked about what?

Did you know I put the thing inside the thing?

Look look, I need some help. Why?

I was just about to try to go find Faye like you and I talked about I get to the

front door I open it and Jeff is standing right there talking about how

wants to go with me, bro I'm getting ready for you girl

Ooh, you putting the baby all on... You putting it there, too?

God damn.

Look, Jay.

Get your shit together. You gotta figure this out on your own.

I'm about to get crazy on Teresa.

What? Ew.

Get off my phone.

Shit.

Taking me to a poetry event.

Yeah. Are you really trying to make a case for yourself?

I am.

Well, you are making progress.

Wait, isn't that your ex -girlfriend?

I guess it is.

Here, let's go this way. Wait, no, we should...

We should say hi.

No, we shouldn't. Let's go this way. Josh, you know, I'm glad we went out

tonight. I had such a good time.

Really?

Josh!

Josh, you up?

Hey, Faye.

I'm good.

How are you?

Oh, I'm doing great.

Josh, how have you been?

I've been good.

You've been good, clearly.

I've been busy.

Just with, like, work and stuff.

So, say, who's this?

Oh, this is, um...

This is Randall.

Randall, this is Josh and his wife, Jessica.

Okay. Nice to meet you, brother.

So how long have you two been together?

Oh, ours is a story.

Really? Yeah. Wow.

Faye and I, we were together for three years.

And then we separated for one.

Now I'm just focused on one in the back.

That is so beautiful.

Yeah, I'm kind of in a similar predicament. I lost Josh, and now

I'm willing to do anything and everything to keep him.

I hear that. I do.

I love love.

Just going to keep at it.

Well, it looks like you're doing a wonderful job.

I actually think we probably interrupted a kid.

Don't you think, Josh?

Looks that way. Yeah.

Nah, nah.

It's all about time, you know.

This meant the moment of happening, you know, right?

Well, um, let's not keep you.

Yeah, we should probably get going too, right?

Yeah.

Oh.

to see you guys around.

How did you know that that was her?

What?

How did you know that that was Faye?

Um, I saw a picture of her on your phone.

I don't have any pictures of her on your phone.

It was a contact photo.

How did you see her contact photo?

She called.

When?

Josh, come on. Does it matter? It matters, Jessica.

When?

It was the night that my car broke down and you were already asleep.

I don't recall seeing a missed call, seeing a text message.

And you mean to tell me you recognize her with her face turned to the side in

the dark from one picture you saw two months ago?

Yeah.

Okay.

Josh.

Josh.

You're lying to me.

I hate... You are lying to me, Jessica.

Look. I don't know what happened.

And right now, I don't care.

But I can't do this with you.

You know, in my heart, I always knew something wasn't right.

But I wouldn't leave.

So what, Josh?

You're going to leave me because I'm willing to fight for you. To fight for

I'm leaving you because you're a liar and you're a manipulator, Jackie.

The crazy shit about this is that I knew it already. I fucking knew.

You already.

You thought that if you just eliminated what you considered to be the

competition that you could have me? No.

I'm not a project for you to manage, Jessica. I'm not a client. I'm a fucking

person.

Manipulating your wife into having me back was never going to last.

Look. Look at me.

Get your shit out of the house and sign the fucking divorce paper.

So tell me, what will you be doing now that your divorce is final?

Do you have any plans?

You know, I... Honestly, I thought that I'd be filled with all of these things

that I wanted to do when it was done. Like, things that would make me feel

I was myself again. But now that it's over, I'm... I kind of still feel empty,

you know?

Empty?

Empty how?

It's kind of empty...

You feel when, like, something's missing.

What do you think is missing?

I don't think it's as much as what's missing, as much as it is who's

missing.

Ah, I see.

Faye.

Well... You haven't seen her for months. You don't know what she's been doing.

You refuse to look at her social media because you don't want to be tempted to

reach out to her because the last time you saw her, she was about to kiss

someone.

Did I get that right?

Well, yeah.

You did.

So, what are you going to do now?

Are you going to reach out to her?

I don't know if I should.

What do you think?

Well, I'm not at liberty to tell you what you should and shouldn't do.

That's up to you. I will say, all this time has passed and you are still torn

about this woman that, I might add, has been the topic of every one of our

sessions.

You most likely won't be able to get rid of this empty feeling until you are

sure about her.

What if she's moved on? Like...

Fully moved on.

Josh, that's called life.

I think it'll be beneficial to you if you find out whether she is part of your

future or your past.

What are you doing?

I'm finally checking her social media.

She did it.

Did what?

She started her own firm.

I mean, we used to talk about it all the time. She was so much bigger than her

old job.

She's having an event celebrating the launch of her firm in

two days.

What are you thinking?

I gotta know.

Well, there it is.

So, you know how most people don't like to be told, I told you so.

Yeah. That's why I don't do it as much.

But someone would call for it.

Like the time I told your ass, you deserve this.

And the time I told your ass, girl, you got this queen.

And the time I told your ass that nothing can get in the way of what's

you. I meant that's it.

To my girl, Feifei.

We are so proud of you, baby girl. We love you. I love y 'all too.

I just want to say thank y 'all so much, really.

Y 'all have seen me through so much, through this journey, through the

the happiness, the jobs.

I couldn't have asked for better friends.

I love y 'all so much.

Oh, this is the correct choice.

Ladies, mind if I borrow this beauty right here for a sec?

Thank you.

I don't like him.

Oh, come on.

We're celebrating.

You're friends.

I know.

Listen, I just wanted to let you know how proud I am of you.

Thank you.

And also I want to thank you.

For what?

For giving me the chance to love you again.

That's so sweet. You're welcome.

Let's get back to you guys, shall we? Oh, I want my bag.

Can I get everybody's attention?

I would like to thank everyone for being here to enjoy this

moment in Faith's life.

Celebrating the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

Right?

You know, there is no one else that I know who has the fire,

the strength, and the persistence to dare to be

great like my lady, Faye.

can you stay a little while don't forget your plans but i just need a little

while can i have that from you if i fell into your

ocean i would drown in my emotions i know you're feeling something

I clean like...

What are you doing here?

I don't know.

Why did you come here?

I wanted to congratulate you.

Congratulate me?

I see you still hiding stuff.

I don't know what to say right now.

Try being honest.

The least you could do. You owe me that at least. You hurt me.

Josh, you hurt me.

I am so sorry, baby. And then what, you just show up like nothing happened?

I saw you having an event.

You just figured you could come and walk into my life, no problem.

What?

What do you think this is?

You're married. I'm not.

What are you saying right now? I'm not married.

I'm divorced.

Officially.

Josh, why?

Why are you doing this?

Why do you keep just showing up into my life? Because I'm in love with you,

babe.

I fucking love you.

I have not stopped thinking about you from the moment we met, no matter what I

was doing, no matter where I was, no matter who I was with, no matter how

time passed.

What do you expect me to do?

You want me to just, what, uproot my life, everything that I've worked for,

that you can break my heart again?

I want you to tell me that you don't love me.

I want you to tell me that standing right here, right now, looking into my

that you fit absolutely. Absolutely nothing.

I want you to tell me that your heart didn't skip a beat the same way mine did

when we locked eyes in that place.

Say it, Faye.

You can't.

Yes.

I'm engaged.

Yes, Faye.

You are engaged.

Right here.

But are you in here?

It wasn't random faith.

No way it was random. The day we met, that was faith.

I have to go. I can't. One chance.

One chance to know if this is true.

If what's true is what my heart and your heart is feeling right now, it's true.

Wednesday at 7 p .m., I'll be outside of a restaurant.

I'm sure you know the place.

Seven miles from my house, seven miles from yours.

And if you happen to show up at the same restaurant,

At the same time, randomly, we

can share a meal.

Yeah?

7 p .m., Faith.

Would you like to see our drink menu?

I don't drink, but I'll take the food menu.

Are you still expecting someone? Should I bring food?

One's fine.

No problem, sir.

Baby, I'm a piece of work.

I agree for what is work.

Never told you what the truth is.

But I'm trying to do the work. I think you think I think I'm perfect.

Just to know that I don't care

Thank you.
