Utilities are split evenly,
groceries are fair game,

I used it for the first time

more like myself lately.

How are you feeling,

but I just wanna check in on
you and make sure you're okay.

Because I feel like
I pushed you,

and if you're not ready to
move on from things with Ryan--

- It's not that.
[sighs]

I mean, yeah,

Ryan was supposed
to be my person.

I was so focused
on getting better

that I think I just buried
the pain of our breakup,

and I--I haven't dealt
with it.

But the other night
wasn't even about that.

It was about these things,
and I just--

I'm not comfortable with them.

And I--I want so badly to be,
but I'm not.

And I just--when Kevin tried
to touch me there,

I just--I freaked out.

[exhales]

- I'm sorry.
I had no idea.

- I didn't either.
Oh.

But now that I do,
I think I need help.

- Well, whatever you need,
I got you.

- [chuckles]

That's the thing--
is you can't help.

Not with this.

I think I need

people who have been
in my situation before.

Which is why I wrote
a piece about it,

to see if maybe
I could find people like me.

And I called a meeting
at The Belle

at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.

We'll see if people show up.
- I think they will.

I hope they will.
- Me too.

- Hey, will you give me a hug
at least?

- [scoffs]
Duh.

- Come on.
- [laughs]

- Baby, get over here.

- I love you.
- I love you.

Oh, the last piece
is all yours, yeah.

- What?
- [exhales]

- But you love that couch.

- I know,
but I had to sell her.

Sorry.
Excuse us.

Bye, Connie.

Have a great life.
- Bye, girl.

- Oh.

- Ian, you home?
- I'm in the bedroom.

- Ian?

What is all of this?

- I do see you, Jacqueline,

as sexy, and exciting,

and the love of my life.

You see, I'm not a writer.

I don't have the words
to explain how I see you,

not in the way that Miles does.

- Ian--
- But I am a photographer.

And I want to show you

what I see when I look at you.

Because you are
everything to me.
