Zoe? The funeral was really nice. I'm only sorry I wasn't in town to help you

with it.

Hmm.

I don't remember seeing you there.

I was in the back.

I didn't say a word.

Not a hello or anything.

I didn't want to upset anyone.

Can I come in?

Wow, the place hasn't changed a bit.

Sorry. Old habit, I guess.

There's really no need for you to get comfy and drag this out. What, do you

money? No, I've just come to see how you're doing. Listen, when my birth

left my dad... He was devastated, and when he married you, I've never seen him

happier in my life.

I saw everyone apologizing for your loss, giving you handshakes and hugs,

one reminded you of how happy you made my daddy.

Honey, I'm so sorry.

Your father just passed away, and I can't even imagine the pain you're

I mean, even though you two weren't very close at the... end.

I just, I shouldn't have assumed.

Assumed? Because you know when you assume, you make an asset of you and me.

Sorry.

Well, you probably have a plane to catch, right? I mean, thank you for

by.

I've decided to move back home.

Home?

You mean back to Nebraska?

Yes, and back here with you, if you'll have me.

Oh, well,

I want

to help you.

I know Dad was sort of the breadwinner of the family, and now that he's dead, I

wish I could give all the money back, but I was dumb back then.

I would give anything to reverse the choices I made.

The truth is, you love me more than my real mommy, and I took you for granted.

I want to tell you I'm sorry, and I'm sorry is not even a big enough word to

describe how I feel.

Honey, is it possible that you have some of our money left?

I mean, any of it?

So, now that you've spent my life, saving, you need a place to stay. Is

right? No, that's not it at all.

Look, I'm going to go. It's obvious that you don't want me here.

Oh, don't forget your bag.

No, that's for you.

Grandmother's plates!

Well, not exactly.

Her pawn shop already sold your grandma's, but I found these on an

auction. Look, they're the same year as Nana's.

1892.

The plates you took from us have been in our family a very long time.

I know that they were special to you.

I wish that I had a set of ten.

It took me three months of tripping to buy eight.

My feet are still killing me from wearing those wicked high heels.

The rest are in this bag. I'll just leave them for you.

It was amazing to see you again. You look beautiful.

And I'm sorry about Daddy, but I'm grateful that you two found each other.

Zoe.

Yeah?

Honey, if you need a place to stay for just a week or two, you can stay.

Thank you, Mommy. Thank you so much.

Listen, this is a temporary arrangement, okay? Do you understand?

Yes. I'm so grateful.

I'm not going to be a freeloader.

I'm going to make your life as easy as possible. I'm going to cook. I'm going

clean. I see you need the yard raked.

I can do that.

And do the laundry if you want. No.

Please do not touch my clothes, Zoe.

I won't steal your clothes anymore.

Or your silverware.

Or money out of your purse.

I won't take anything.

I want to give back. Or pay for your generosity.

I'm going to get my old job back. And I'll pay half the rent if you want.

You're going to help with the mortgage.

Yes, Mommy.

That's what I'm trying to tell you. I can and I will do it.

I realized that I may have not been a good person when I lived with you and

And that behavior made me do some things that I deeply regret.

I wrote about all this in an email I wrote to Dad before he passed.

Did you read it?

Well, that's disappointing, but I get why Dad would be suspicious of me.

In New York, I moved in with a bunch of girls that were just like me.

I saw how shallow we all were.

We were only kind to each other when one of us wanted something.

I started to realize how betrayed you and Dad felt.

It's like I was in your shoes.

I was so worried about one of the girls taking advantage of me, stealing from

me.

I hate myself for what I did.

I can't take it back, but I can make it up to you. Please give me the

opportunity to be good to you.

Zoe, I... I'm not trying to tell you that I am a good person, because I'm

But I'm trying.

You can teach me to be a good person.

I want to be like you, Mom.

Hello?

Yes.

Yes. Yes, sir.

I am not going to be able to make a payment this month.

Look, there's been unexpected circumstances, and yes, yes, but

yes, I understand.

I'm not trying to make an excuse, but... Okay, well, I

could pay you the money that I was going to pay the funeral director this month,

but it won't be a payment in full.

And you've already told me that I can't take a second mortgage on my house,

so... Please, I cannot lose my home.

I mean, I want to pay you back every penny. It's just I was not expecting my

husband to... Oh, okay. Of course.

Yes, I will be in your office with the payment by next month.

I'm sorry. I need to run an errand.

Sure. Can I come with?

No.

No. Thank you.

But can I trust that you'll let Fluffy out for me?

Absolutely. You can count on me.

silk sweater oh my god it's dry clean only and there's a hole

what oh

well this used to fit me

If you want to see more, just send A2.

Knock much?

What were you doing?

Working. I don't even want to know.

I mean, the house is a mess.

My bottle is empty.

No, that couldn't have been me. You sure you didn't accidentally put an empty

bottle back in the fridge?

You are an adult now, and you need to act your age.

Do you need to be talking to your roommate like that, mother?

I paid for two -thirds of the mortgage this month. I think you can lay off of

for every little thing that annoys you.

I don't bug you when you get annoying. Listen, this is my house, and I make the

rules.

Okay, thank you for at least listening to your music on your headphones, but I

bit my tongue about your stupid noise roll, but no more. You are such a

hypocrite. What about last night when you were drinking wine through a...

whistler and then pass out on your vibrator. I didn't say a thing when I

and saw that awkward shit, but from the looks of it, I'm more of an adult than

you. I'm paying more of the mortgage and I'm not moping around feeling sorry for

myself. Feeling sorry for myself?

Stop. Time to move on, Morticia. Get out of the house and figure out how you're

going to pay for this place.

I'll have you know that I'm with it interviews all day today and this is...

You've crossed the line here. I love my dad, but let's be honest. Most of the

time, he was a total dick.

Zoe, I know that he wouldn't let you get a job.

We loved him, sure, but he was a controlling nightmare.

Is it so wrong to get on with your life?

He was my husband.

Your father.

I mean, it's only been ten days, but it's not like he just went on a trip.

I mean, he didn't... He didn't love us? He didn't love us, Mom. Jesus, fuck.

Language!

Oh, my... You know, that's it. That's it. Just get your things. It's time for

you to go. Just get out.

Nope. Call the police. Go ahead and look into it. You can't get me out of here

unless you get an eviction notice. Good luck getting one of those in less than

six months.

You... You wanna talk?

I know you're a lesbian, Mom.

You're just a sad lugbo who shouldn't have been married to Dad or any man in

first place.

What I don't know is why you stayed in a platonic relationship with Dad when you

could have found real love.

I'm sorry.

No, you're not.

This was your plan all along just to use me when I'm not my strongest.

I flipped.

I know that I should think before I speak.

That's what people do when they are good.

I shouldn't have said those things because they hurt your feelings.

I want you to know that I was in love with your father, Zoe Marie.

I know you loved him. We both did.

I'm so sorry.

How did you know about my past?

When I was younger, I heard Dad arguing with you about a woman that you kissed

from your work.

That's all I know. I didn't know for a fact if you were a lesbian.

That's all I heard.

I met your father when I was very young, and he was a very strong, very

persistent man.

And he wanted to marry me, and I needed a place to live.

I liked him. Of course, he had his faults, but I grew to love him.

And I guess I always had a thing for women, you could say. I

guess just kind of a kink.

But you and Dad were never really intimate, right?

I'm sorry.

I'm not thinking before I speak again.

Honey, it's okay.

Look, I...

I'm just scared to tell you.

Mom, it's okay. I like girls too.

Sometimes I wonder if that's why my biological mom left.

It's okay to like girls in New York. Girls walk down the street holding

They can kiss and hug when they go on dates.

Just like straight couples.

People only think it's weird here.

I'm not really a lesbian, Zoe.

Have you ever truly been in love?

Well, your father...

It's okay.

It's just a little diversion.

Just pretend with me.

Oh, this is... No, Zoe, you're just a girl, and I'm too old.

Old? You'll never be old, Mom.

You're the hottest woman I've ever seen.

I want to kiss you, and I want you to kiss me back.

She makes me feel when I've been numb.

I'm feeling something.

I just want to feel, and it's okay.

How long have I loved my stepdaughter?

And how many times have I wondered what it would be like to be with a girl like

her?

This can't be happening.

It feels like a daydream, but it can't be reality.

Am I living in some parallel universe?

Somewhere between fantasy and reality? Past and present?

My stepdaughter is 18.

No, she's 19.

It's okay.

It's not okay.

How could it feel so...

Yes.

Oh, God.
