[Waves crashing]

[birds cawing]

When I was a little girl,

my mom and I used to come to the beach

and take these long walks to find rocks or stones

and then we would assign some sort of meaning to it.

An emotion or something.

Anger, sadness...

and then we would

throw it into the ocean

as this way of releasing things we didn't want.

I like that.

Did you ever do it for things that you did want?

Yes, occasionally we would make a wish.

But it was really special because my mom is just

so practical in so many ways.

So whenever we did that, it was...

it felt like something really magical might happen.

I didn't really have anything magical like that growing up.

I did have this disappearing mom though,

and this really cool key I wore around my neck.

If I used it...

I could open my front door.

[Logan dryly chuckling]

Magic rocks sound a lot nicer.

Yeah.

I could've used some of those when I was a kid.

[kids cheering]

Oh!

-Mommy! -Hello!

I don't know what to do with that.

So maybe it's better left untouched.

Okay,

What I'm hearing is...

you like me.

You want me,

and there was this part about not touching but...

I think we can just strike that from the record.

I do like you,

I closed my heart to him.

To that entire part of my life.

I don't regret where I'm at,

my family, my choices for any second, but...

That is one regret that still hangs over me.

And living with regret...

is only my doing.

I feel like when I close my eyes I keep thinking that...

if the world didn't care I wouldn't care.

If the world didn't care, I wouldn't care.

Life is a series of choices, Amber.

Every second, we choose our happiness

or our bitter remorse.

And we can only love who we love

and stand by that choice.

Times are changin', baby.

Times are changin'.

So...

Step into your life...

before it passes you by.

Oww.

[laughter and conversation]

Ah, Logan we are just so happy

that Amber has found a friend like you

during such a difficult time in her life.

And we really appreciate you being there for her.

It's my absolute pleasure.

She's wonderful.

Nice to finally meet you.

Nice to put a pretty face to someone

we've heard so much about.

Thank you. It's great to meet you both.

I actually have to get going, I have a client to meet.

I'm sorry. But please enjoy the rest of your day.

Um, I have to go to the restroom

-so I'll just walk you out. -Yes!

So...

You met my parents.

I like them.

Well that's because you don't know them.

[laughs]

No...

I like them.

And I love you.

What is this?

-[exhales] -It's nothing.

You were leaving?

-Amber? -[exhales hard]

-Yup, I'm leaving. -[footsteps retreating]

-Logan. -Oh! Shit!

Logan, hey.

Logan, stop!

I'm sorry.

You're always sorry, Amber.

[exhales]

Hey look, I didn't expect you to waltz into the café

and just announce your love for me.

But when are you gonna be able to stand tall next to me?

I told you, I just need time.

How much time Amber?

I have never leapt like this before in my life

and I keep leaping into you--

and I keep falling on my fucking face.

I never asked you to do that.

You just did it on your own.

You jumped before I was ready,

I don't know how this is my fault?

Fault? Are you even listening?

Is everything all right?

-[exhales] -Oh, God.

Mom, everything is fine.

Yeah, everything's fine.

-[sighs] -Fuck.

-Amber. -Shut up, Mom.

What just happened?

I'm sorry.

Please don't let me fuck this up.

[exhales]

What'd you say?

I said, I love you.

I love you too.

[street din]

[knocks on door]

-Hey. -Hi.

Only got a couple of minutes, so...

What'd you want to talk about?

-Hi, sweetie. -Hi.

What are you guys doing here?

Well, Ethan called and, uh...

Thought it was best that we sit down

and try to figure this thing out.

What's going on?

Well, we thought it best to convene.

-Convene? -Yeah.

-Why? -So...

You and Logan.

-[scoffing] -Are you kidding me?

Okay, honey, that's-- that's not why we're here.

Wow.

They... they didn't say anything.

You did.

Right now.

Really, Amber?

What?

Just explains a lot.

Okay, I am not having this conversation.

Okay, hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey.

C'mon, c'mon. Ethan...

-Can we try to focus please? -Yes, yeah okay.

I'll... cut to the chase. Sit down.

Great. Don't sit down.

[exhales]

I got a job offer out of state. I'm leaving in three weeks.

What?

-You're leaving? -Yup.

It's a two year commitment, minimum.

What about Emily?

I took the job, Amber.

I'm not asking for your fucking permission.

-Ethan, relax. -Don't talk to her like that.

-What? -Can you stay focused

-on Emily here? -Hey, you have no idea.

Enough! Enough! Stop it!

Enough.

Mom, Dad, I...

Can we just...

-All right c'mon. -You're right.

-Come on. -We'll be in the car, honey.

[door closes]

I don't know what to say.

I think that went well.

[exhales]

You know, I really did love you Ethan.

Part of that never goes away.

I know that you think that I pushed you away...

a long time ago, I-- I pushed you away, but--

You didn't push me away, Amber...

you burned my life to the ground.

I know. Mine too.

And I'm sorry about that.

I'm...

[exhales hard]

It's just that...

I still love you.

And I don't know how to do this.

I'm sorry that you're hurting.

Look, I-- I know...

I was an asshole to you, a lot.

I regret that.

No, lo-- look at me.

Amber?

-Tell me what to do. -[crying whimper]

You tell me what to do and I'll do it.

I was a kid, Ethan.

-We were just kids. I-- I-- -[exhales]

You need to be able to see that, I mean--

Can you see that?

Yeah.

I didn't like the person I was becoming around you.

I hated her

and I don't want to be her anymore.

[sighs]

I think that we both failed us.

And Emily.

But Emily can't live without you.

You're an amazing mother.

Yeah.

But you're her father.

And she's gonna miss you so much.

Why do you have to---

[Ethan cries softly]

I have to.

He's leaving in three weeks.

Wow. Just like that.

Yup.

It's just a lot of changes coming my way.

I can help.

With Emily, I can help you.

But I gotta figure out everything with work and--

just everything is going to be really different.

Amber... Amber...

I don't think that you're listening to me.

Hey!

I'm saying that I want to be a part of your life

and Emily's life in a bigger way.

I know and that's very sweet, but...

You're leaving for tour and...

Not forever. I'm here, we can figure it---

I know, I know! But it doesn't matter

because it's not the right time.

[exhales hard]

You're awfully quiet tonight.

-[exhales] -Yeah, I guess.

Anything you wanna talk about?

There's just a lot going on right now.

You know? With you taking Emily on and...

-a lot of... -[exhales]

a lot of things.

Yeah. I know it's gonna be a lot with work

but I'm actually really excited.

I miss her so much.

Hey.

What's going on?

I think we need to talk.

Okay.

The owners of the apartment

I'm taking care of are coming back early.

And, uh...

You know I'm going on tour for a few months.

And I'm not sure where my home base is gonna be

when I come back to New York.

Okay.

Is... that's all?

-I ju-- -[exhales]

What?

I think we need to break up.

What?

I'm sorry.

I just don't think this is working.

[exhales hard]

What?

We just can' keep doing this.

What? I...

I don't understand.

Look, okay. I know that I said

that this isn't the right time...

but I think maybe once Emily settles in a little,

you know, you can-- you can move in with us.

-With me. -Move in?

Yes, I think that I'm ready for that.

I'm--

I mean it, Logan. I am ready for that.

That's what I---

You know, if this is about my parents, you know, I don't-

I don't care what they think.

Emily loves you.

She loves you.

I love you.

I love you.

I know that I keep letting you down, but...

I never loved anybody like I love you.

So why are you doing this?

Because, Amber--

I can't love you from such a vulnerable place.

You say yes to me, and my life is amazing

you say no, and I'm crushed,

and I can't love you from this place.

I-- I really... I really...

I need you, okay? I need you.

I don't-- I don't want to do this alone. I don't.

You have all these things

that you wanna do, you know?

And there's so much you have to focus on...

and it's not me.

You gotta figure out what you want.

I know what I want. I know what I want.

I want you.

I want you.

Please don't do this.

-Don't do this, okay? -Come here.

-[cries] -Please don't do this.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

[exhales]

So this is it, then?

That's all?

I need you to go.

Can I walk you home... at least?

No. You should just go.

Can... I can still walk you home--

Sounds good on my end.

I'm not sure what you want me to do

with this information, Amber.

I don't think that lifestyle suits you or Emily.

It's for the best.

You don't think it suits me, Mom?

It's not a dress that we're talking about.

You asked my opinion.

No, I didn't, Mom.

You asked me how I was doing,

and I can't hide this, I'm sorry, I'm a mess.

Exactly why you need to turn the page.

Nothing good can ever come of this, darling.

[Emily chattering]

Why not?

Because it's not who we are, Amber.

I'm your daughter, Mom, I'm not you.

Of course not, but you're---

But what?

I love her. Emily loves her.

And she left you.

It's for the best.

Yeah maybe it is for you, Mom, but it's not for me.

She made me happy.

She made me feel alive...

for the first time.

And she loves me, I know she still loves me.

It's not love.

It'll pass.

It'll pass. It'll pass?

Mom, this is heartache. Okay?

This is good, old-fashioned heartache.

And if you can't see that, if you can't see past

your shame, then I'm sorry,

but you don't get to be a part of this.

You don't get to be a part of my life.

You're gonna lose me.

You're gonna lose her. You will lose us.

C'mon, we're going. C'mon.

Grace.

You just need to let her be.

Okay?

She'll ruin her reputation.

[exhales]

This isn't easy for me, either.

Not in the same way as you, but--

Mostly because it's not easy for Amber.

I mean, I can see that.

She could just wait to meet the right man.

She was...

happy. I mean, had you stopped to notice that?

Happy?

Put yourself in her shoes for a second.

I would never be in her shoes, Michael.

Maybe being with Logan surprised her,

maybe it was there all along.

In any case, she's 30 years old,

going through a divorce, and coming out to the world...

-As gay. -I-- I-- just look,

maybe she is, there's nothing we can do to change that.

And I'm not sure I'd want to.

Well, you're on your own then.

Grace. Don't do this.

She's still your daughter.

She's still the same Amber.

This is not something she'll buckle under to please you.

Don't push her away.

[guitar strumming]

Well, should we get some lunch?

You know what restaurant's really close by?

Yeah.

-You okay? -Mm-hm..

Really? 'Cause it seems like maybe

you're upset about something.

[music ends]

Hey there little girl,

[sings] Why so glum?

[deep voice] I don't know.

Maybe we should do some silly rock puns?

to make her laugh?

[change voice] No, no, no, she hates silly rock puns

Well, my sediments exactly.

I was magma before I was cool.

That's stupid, you're stupid.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Whoa.

First of all, that's not okay.

Okay?

What's going on?

I don't know.

-What are you upset about? -I don't know.

You know what the feelings are, maybe?

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

Okay. Okay.

Look...

I know it's been...

a big year, with a lot of changes.

A lot of feelings, big feelings.

Confusing feelings, and I-- I--

it's hard for a grown up, you know, I'm-- I'm feeling...

feeling confused too.

Really?

Yeah.

But you need to know that when you're feeling this

when you're feeling confused, and angry, you can tell me.

There's nothing you can say that's gonna hurt my feelings.

Really?

Yeah, really.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

I feel...

So...

Angry! Augh!

Everything's messed up!

-By the way! -Ok!

Are you familiar with her work?

Uh, yeah.

What do you think?

Part of me loves it, and the other part of me is...

terrified about what everybody else is thinking.

-You're the artist. -[laughs]

Well, now it would seem insincere of me to say that

I think your work is exquisite.

Maybe a little.

It is.

Thank you.

I won't take up any more of your time.

Yeah, okay. It's nice to meet you.

-Uh, Tim. -Tim, I'm Amber.

Amber, um...

Do you drink coffee?

Just 'cause if you do, I could sit next to you

while you do that.

Would it be okay if I called you sometime?

Yeah. Sure.

There's...

My contact information's at the front desk.

Okay, well, then, I'm gonna go to the front desk.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

-Enjoy your night. -Thanks.

Excuse me. Hi!

-Amber? -Yes!

Regina Dey.

Yes... yes, I know who you are.

It's such a treat to meet you.

I'm just so honored

that you would come to my opening.

I wanna talk to you about your work.

I do... I have a few ideas.

That would be great.

-Thank you. -Yes.

Well, you have guests to entertain.

-[laughs] -Yes, of course.

Do call me.

You can count on it. Thank you.

[inaudible whispering]

-Hi! -Amber?

-Yes! -[radio music plays]

[radio host] We got Logan Pierce here performing live

at The Caveat, downtown Toronto.

Could you turn that up, please?

[radio host] Logan, it is such a treat

to have you in the studio.

[Logan] Thank you so much for having me,

I'm so happy to be here.

[radio host] Of course, your new single 'Hold On'

is just climbing the charts.

Could you tell us a little bit about what inspired that song?

Gosh! Um...

-I don't know where to start. -[laughs]

Come on, girl, you can dig in there a little bit more.

You know, we're live.

So you want me to spill my guts for the world?

-[laughs] -Well...

For you JoJo, I will.

Um...

Well, you know, it's simple.

It's about...

-[Logan] Love-- -[chuckles softly]

you know, the kind of love you dream about when you're a kid.

When you're growing up and learning about everything,

and then you get older and you stop believing in it.

But, uh...

Turns out, it's real.

[Logan] It's a thing.

Do tell.

It's, uh, in the past. Long story.

[radio host] Aren't they all?

Okay...

Um...

Well, when I first wrote the song

it was kind of like...

I wrote it for someone I hadn't even met yet.

But, um...

when I played it for an audience for the first time

a friend of mine was in the room...

[Logan] and all of the sudden it was really clear that...

somehow, I had written it for her.

And that's the story.

That's it.

[radio host] You heard it here first on JB Live Toronto.

Oh, my God.

[radio host] Now what you have all been waiting for,

this is Logan Pierce with "Hold On."

what I think that it means?

Tell me this.

When you're an old woman,

will you be okay and look back on your life not knowing?

Wondering what would have happened?

Your time is now.

Step in.

Don't hang back by the sidelines.

I love you.

Well, wouldn't that be a surprising turn of events.

Mm-hm. Yeah... shut up.

Okay, go.

Go get your woman!

Yes! Okay, yes. Thank you.

disappear.

So, did you just come for the music or...?

[laughs]

I miss you.

[exhales]

You were right,

you know, I really needed to... see myself

before I could see myself in the world with you.

I was looking for approval from everyone.

But what I really needed was my own and I know that now.

And I know that--

just isn't right without you.
