Seven Miles from Forever (2025) Movie Script

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
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.
