Transcript
00:00:00You ready to party?
00:00:01I really don't think it's too late for us to just go home.
00:00:03No, no, no, no, it's too late.
00:00:04This is the last party of our college career.
00:00:07You're right, let's go.
00:00:11I took a phone for me.
00:00:12You never even met this guy.
00:00:15Are you okay?
00:00:16No, I don't go to many parties.
00:00:18This is a lot.
00:00:19I think you're super hot,
00:00:20but I'm way too much of a list to do anything about that.
00:00:25I want you to know,
00:00:27listen, there is something about this guy.
00:00:30Just really not looking for anything beyond one night.
00:00:32I slept with Jekyll and woke up with Hyde.
00:00:34Well, the beauty of one night stands
00:00:36is that you'll never have to see his face again.
00:00:38Ah, here he is now.
00:00:40Mr. Mitchell, your new creative writing professor.
00:00:43I assure you, you are a capable answer.
00:00:46It wasn't my intentions to make you feel like...
00:00:48Like I was trash on garbage day.
00:00:51I'm Armand. It's a pleasure to meet you.
00:00:52That French guy is so into you.
00:00:55Hey, too.
00:00:56Uh, Mr. Mitchell.
00:00:58I thought you said you wanted to keep our personal lives separate.
00:01:02What matters is what we are, teacher and student.
00:01:05I was waiting for you to call.
00:01:07One of my teachers is an ass.
00:01:09You're going to get me in trouble
00:01:10with those Freudian slips in class.
00:01:12I'm the one who's going to get into trouble.
00:01:14She's been teacher's pet all semester, hasn't she?
00:01:16Ladies, please.
00:01:18I'm trying to show you that I'm the gentleman you deserve.
00:01:20You've crossed too many lines.
00:01:21That's bullshit, and you know it.
00:01:22Tony, you're welcome.
00:01:24Hey.
00:01:25The only way I'm going to allow myself to do this
00:01:28is if it's no feelings, just fun.
00:01:32A dirty little secret.
00:01:33You ready to party?
00:01:55I don't think we free-gamed enough.
00:01:57Family girl is too late for that.
00:01:58The game has begun.
00:01:59I really don't think it's too late for us to just go home.
00:02:02Too late.
00:02:04You told me this yourself.
00:02:05And I quote,
00:02:07I don't want to spend my entire college career
00:02:09reading about other people's sex lives.
00:02:11This is the last party of our college career.
00:02:14And even if you don't get laid,
00:02:15just dance and have a good time.
00:02:21Okay.
00:02:21Okay, you're right.
00:02:22Let's go.
00:02:23So you're falling for me.
00:02:31I...
00:02:32Thanks.
00:02:34Girl, you just tripped yourself into an incant romance.
00:02:43That's exactly what it was.
00:02:45It felt like I was in one of Adam's old stories.
00:02:47It felt just too real and too fast.
00:02:49Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:02:50Adam, that smut writer you got hung up on?
00:02:54It's not smut.
00:02:56Okay?
00:02:56He writes about love and tragedies
00:02:58and everything in between.
00:02:59And I don't just read them.
00:03:01We talk about them, about ourselves,
00:03:03about what it means to be alive.
00:03:06Hon, you never even met this guy.
00:03:10I was going to Megan.
00:03:12We had set up a date and he ghosted me.
00:03:15I don't think I can forgive him,
00:03:16but I can't forget him.
00:03:18I mean, he's the whole reason
00:03:18that I'm an English lit major.
00:03:20Uh-huh, yeah.
00:03:20Okay, so tonight we are undoing all that damage.
00:03:23You take this.
00:03:24Mm-hmm.
00:03:25And I need to dance.
00:03:26So, see ya.
00:03:28Wait, he's leaving me?
00:03:34They're enjoying me, girl?
00:03:36Oh, or go see if your lover boy
00:03:38wants to dip you again.
00:03:58Oh, hey.
00:04:09Uh, I'm not good.
00:04:11You'd be grateful, baby.
00:04:12Um, I...
00:04:14Did you really think that was going to work, Creed?
00:04:16You want to raise a hand?
00:04:19Uh, uh...
00:04:20Raise one of me.
00:04:21It's cool, dude.
00:04:21Really, it's cool.
00:04:22I've been drinking a little bit.
00:04:23I apologize to her.
00:04:25I'm sorry, really.
00:04:26I'm sorry.
00:04:27I didn't...
00:04:27I didn't mean to...
00:04:28Get out.
00:04:29It's cool.
00:04:30It's cool.
00:04:30Are you okay?
00:04:39No, uh...
00:04:40I'm...
00:04:41I don't go to menoparty.
00:04:43This is all.
00:04:44So, take a breath.
00:04:45He's gone.
00:04:47That's twice a night to save you.
00:04:49Do you like playing?
00:04:50Bam's all the stress.
00:04:51No, I...
00:04:53You're my dance.
00:04:54I'm...
00:04:55You're a night.
00:04:55Uh...
00:04:57All right.
00:04:59What?
00:05:01Bye.
00:05:06Oh!
00:05:07Okay!
00:05:08Okay.
00:05:09Hey.
00:05:09Hey.
00:05:10Hi.
00:05:10Hi.
00:05:11Excuse me.
00:05:11Sorry.
00:05:12So sorry.
00:05:12We're leaving.
00:05:13Okay.
00:05:13Hi!
00:05:16Oh, my God.
00:05:17What?
00:05:17What is going on?
00:05:18What happened?
00:05:19I don't know why.
00:05:20I thought I could just go out for one night
00:05:22and expect everything to go perfectly.
00:05:23I'm an idiot.
00:05:24I had one guy almost hit me.
00:05:25Hit you?
00:05:26Wait.
00:05:26Who?
00:05:26Where?
00:05:27He's gone.
00:05:28And the guy who caught me earlier saved me again.
00:05:30And I thought he was flirting with me.
00:05:32So, I tried to throw it back.
00:05:33But I threw that up.
00:05:35Okay.
00:05:35He's a guy.
00:05:36It's harder to screw up your chances than you think.
00:05:38Hopefully he thinks I'm insane.
00:05:40I think I called him my night.
00:05:42I don't know.
00:05:43I'm trying to block it all out already.
00:05:45You win some, you lose some.
00:05:47Let's just go home and binge some ice.
00:05:50Ice cream and Gilmore Girls.
00:05:53Yeah.
00:05:54Hey, Damza, wait up.
00:05:57Tully, be cool.
00:06:00She had run far.
00:06:02Try and outrun her own heart.
00:06:05Wait, is that from Forgotten Garden?
00:06:08See, how'd you pay for Reader?
00:06:10And as a runner, where are you going?
00:06:12I just thought it was better if I cut my losses for the night and give up flirting.
00:06:17And maybe forever.
00:06:19Was that what all that falling down and getting in the fights was?
00:06:23That was flirting?
00:06:25What were you even trying to say to me back then?
00:06:27I'll be your damsel if you play my knight that rescues me.
00:06:33I'm actually really glad you didn't say that.
00:06:36Well, how about the truth?
00:06:38My friend dragged me to this party because she thinks I need to have fun in real life.
00:06:42And I think you're super hot.
00:06:44But I'm way too much of a list to do anything about that.
00:06:52How's that for fun?
00:07:12What?
00:07:12I want to hear you say it.
00:07:15Say what?
00:07:21That you want me now.
00:07:24I want you now.
00:07:26I want you now.
00:07:42I want you now.

00:16:01Let's get started.
00:16:31Let's get started.
00:17:01Doesn't seem to be too common these days.
00:17:04You sound like Professor Connor.
00:17:06Well, that's fine as long as you don't think I look like him.
00:17:13What are those?
00:17:14From Professor Connor. He said you know what to do with them.
00:17:17You didn't volunteer to bring them, did you?
00:17:18I'll leave you alone to flatter yourself.
00:17:21That wasn't a no.
00:17:22I thought you said you wanted to keep our personal lives separate.
00:17:25Isn't that what you want?
00:17:27What I want doesn't matter.
00:17:29What matters is what we are, teacher and student.
00:17:33Well, the next time you think about flirting with me, remember what we are.
00:17:37I can manage if you can.
00:17:39Oh, believe me, that won't be an issue.
00:17:42Thank you for dropping off the papers, but next time only visit when you really need me.
00:17:47You won't be seeing much of me then.
00:17:49Julie.
00:18:02Armand.
00:18:03I was waiting for you to call.
00:18:04Sorry, I've just been distracted.
00:18:07What is it?
00:18:09A face that's beautiful does not deserve a frown.
00:18:10I just, it's nothing.
00:18:14One of my teachers is an ass.
00:18:16Sounds like you need a break from school.
00:18:18Let me cheer you up.
00:18:20Whatever you want.
00:18:22How about I cook you some boeuf bourguignon, we watch a French movie, and we have a letter
00:18:27to our friends.
00:18:28What does that sound?
00:18:29That might get me out of it.
00:18:31Yeah?
00:18:31How about dancing?
00:18:33Would you like that?
00:18:34Yeah.
00:18:40So what do you think?
00:18:55Does this hold up to your dirty dancing?
00:18:58Nothing ever does.
00:19:00But it was good.
00:19:01Well, good for you then, because I had another one for you.
00:19:04There is a screening of La Vian was this Friday.
00:19:08One of my favorites.
00:19:09Would you come with me?
00:19:11Friday is actually my birthday.
00:19:13That sounds nice.
00:19:14I don't have anything planned.
00:19:16Because I'm cool like that.
00:19:18Your birthday?
00:19:19I mean, Tully, a movie won't do it.
00:19:22Like, you deserve a party.
00:19:24Let me host a, what do you say, a Big Bash?
00:19:29We barely know each other.
00:19:30You don't have to do that.
00:19:31Please, Tully, I insist.
00:19:33Let me do that for you.
00:19:34Like, let's take it as the beginning of a new year.
00:19:37The year of Tully.
00:19:39Okay.
00:19:40Yeah.
00:19:41Yeah.
00:19:42Okay.
00:19:56Tully?
00:19:57What you doing?
00:19:59I'm reading some of Adam's old stories.
00:20:01What?
00:20:03I thought everything with Armand was going so good.
00:20:06It did.
00:20:06Okay.
00:20:07Adam's just been on my mind lately, and I can't figure out why.
00:20:11Okay, you have to show me something of his.
00:20:12There's no way that he's that good of a writer.
00:20:15Okay.
00:20:17Here.
00:20:18The blue blossom fields matched your eyes, and the spirit within them.
00:20:22That lithe, joyful, free thing that danced and arced across her gaze when she looked at me.
00:20:28I swam wondrously in those eyes, desperate and sad as she drifted off to sleep.
00:20:33My heart shattered because I knew I wouldn't be there when she opened them again.
00:20:39Damn.
00:20:40That is good.
00:20:43Too bad he's not real.
00:20:44He was real, Megan.
00:20:46Mm-hmm.
00:20:47But he just vanished.
00:20:50I don't know if I can take that kind of rejection again.
00:20:54Honey.
00:20:56Here.
00:20:57Armand is a real-life human with real-life humans, I'm going to tell you.
00:21:02And he's throwing you a birthday party in an hour.
00:21:05He won't ghost you like Adam.
00:21:08I won't let him.
00:21:10It's enough of that, okay?
00:21:14Get ready for your party.
00:21:18Okay.
00:21:18Okay.
00:21:20Tuli.
00:21:38Good evening.
00:21:39Hey.
00:21:40Oh.
00:21:42Come in.
00:21:43Everyone, say hi to Tuli.
00:21:45It's her birthday.
00:21:45Happy birthday.
00:21:46Happy birthday.
00:21:49Armand, come on.
00:21:50Let's go to the club.
00:21:51It'll be fun.
00:21:52No, Lucio.
00:22:02Come dance with me.
00:22:04Sorry.
00:22:05No.
00:22:06Okay.
00:22:07But before the end of the night, we're dancing, right?
00:22:09Here.
00:22:12Take this.
00:22:15Tuli, look.
00:22:17Look at this party.
00:22:18Look at what I'm doing for you, okay?
00:22:20Just forget about your days lost in fiction and get with real life.
00:22:25It's real life.
00:22:26Okay.
00:22:27All right.
00:22:28Now that's what I'm talking about, girl.
00:22:30Come on.
00:22:31Woo!
00:22:31Check the mirror, see the reflection.
00:22:37Ain't nobody quite like me.
00:22:38Tuli, look at you.
00:22:40You should go to ballroom dancing sometimes.
00:22:42I love dancing, don't you?
00:22:45No.
00:22:46There's something else I love more, though.
00:22:48Armand, I've had too much to dream.
00:22:50Tuli, look what I've done for you.
00:22:52Let's have a good time.
00:22:53I was having fun.
00:22:55Come to my room.
00:22:55I'll show you a birthday gift.
00:22:57I need to do this.
00:22:59Tuli, you're making a scene right now.
00:23:00I'm going to make a scene if you grab me like that.
00:23:03I'm leaving.
00:23:24Tuli?
00:23:25Oh, it's you.
00:23:28Are you okay?
00:23:28No, I'm walking home.
00:23:32How far away is your place?
00:23:34Almost there.
00:23:35Just three, four more miles.
00:23:40Okay.
00:23:41Come on.
00:23:42I'm going to take you home after a glass of water.
00:23:45What are you carrying?
00:23:47Tuli, I'm trying to help you.
00:23:49I thought you wanted to keep it professional, Yace.
00:23:58Mr. Mitchell.
00:23:59I am not your professor right now.
00:24:01I'm just someone who cares about seeing you wake up tomorrow safe.
00:24:06Come on.
00:24:07I will be right back.
00:24:24Please don't throw up.
00:24:27No, crap.
00:24:28Not good taste.
00:24:42What are you doing?
00:24:50I guess I'm silly or damsel, huh?
00:24:56Tuli, you are drunk.
00:25:00We already talked about what a bad idea this is.
00:25:02Well, Armand didn't seem to care.
00:25:04Armand from class?
00:25:06Are you seeing him?
00:25:07No, I tried too hard.
00:25:14I had to make it seem just to get him off of me.
00:25:17No.
00:25:18He's an idiot who knows nothing about you if he thinks he can force you to do anything.
00:25:22You really care, don't you?
00:25:25Like more than just someone wanting me to get home safe.
00:25:29You care about me.
00:25:31I'm trying so hard not to.
00:25:34Well, you can do anything to me and it wouldn't be forced.
00:25:39Well, it wouldn't be right either.
00:25:42That's the thing.
00:25:44It may seem wrong, but it's...
00:25:48We're just right together.
00:25:51What was that?
00:25:59My heart shattered because I knew.
00:26:04I wouldn't be there when she opened them again.
00:26:05Oh, my God.
00:26:35I had to go run an errand.
00:26:45There's some coffee in the kitchen.
00:26:48Advil on the counter.
00:26:49Hope your head doesn't hurt too much.
00:27:01Jeez, sweetie.
00:27:03My mom, you all have to call the cops.
00:27:04I'm sorry.
00:27:06Mommy, what happened?
00:27:09I left the party after our mom basically forced himself on me.
00:27:13What?
00:27:14My phone died, and I ended up staying with Chase.
00:27:18Oh, my God.
00:27:19Please tell me you didn't sleep with your professor again.
00:27:22I didn't.
00:27:23He just took care of me.
00:27:25That doesn't sound any better.
00:27:27No, it's...
00:27:28We didn't do anything.
00:27:30I made an idiot of myself and passed out.
00:27:33That's it.
00:27:34Important thing is, you're safe.
00:27:36You just had your homework.
00:27:37Mm-mm.
00:27:38Julie.
00:27:50Julie.
00:27:52Chase.
00:27:53Are you feeling better?
00:27:55I am, thanks.
00:27:56I wanted to apologize.
00:27:58I wasn't...
00:27:59I wasn't in a good place.
00:28:04Thank you for taking care of me.
00:28:06Of course.
00:28:07No.
00:28:07I'm sorry I couldn't be there when you woke up, but it was probably for the best.
00:28:13Not exactly the Friday night you wanted to deal with, I'm sure.
00:28:16I didn't mind the company.
00:28:19Well, I could have been better.
00:28:21You want to keep things professional, and that certainly didn't help.
00:28:27I don't think keeping things professional is an option for us.
00:28:31Do you?
00:28:39This is a bad idea.
00:28:42I could lose my job.
00:28:43I could get kicked out of school.
00:28:45The risk is too high.
00:28:46We've got to keep this completely academic.
00:28:49I'm glad we agree.
00:28:51The only way I'm going to allow myself to do this is if it's no feelings, just fun.
00:29:11Anything else is just too messy.
00:29:14And you can do that.
00:29:16You can be my professor with benefits.
00:29:19Oh, God.
00:29:21I hate the sound of that.
00:29:23Then we don't have to close anything.
00:29:25Just a dirty little secret.
00:29:37Not here.
00:29:37But it was too much to say, too much to face.
00:30:03Love is divine only and difficult always.
00:30:17Does anyone know who said that?
00:30:21Toni Morrison.
00:30:22Great job, Tooley.
00:30:23Great job, Tooley.
00:30:25But she hears that every night.
00:30:27She's been teacher's pet all semester, hasn't she?
00:30:29I'm going to visit his office later today, and maybe I'll get some extra credit, too.
00:30:33You wouldn't need the extra credit if you'd actually pay attention instead of talking about me.
00:30:37I'm not the only one talking about you.
00:30:39Ladies, please.
00:30:40So, we were talking about cognitive dissonance and how it can be more than a useful tool.
00:30:47How sometimes it's everything that it means to be human.
00:30:52Now, last night I read some of your papers.
00:30:55Um, I would say about 50% of you understand what I'm talking about.
00:31:00Or I should say, Toni's talking about.
00:31:12You know, Cassandra and her cronies won't shut up about you, and they're starting to bring me into it now, too.
00:31:18You have no reason to be jealous.
00:31:19Trust me.
00:31:21I only sleep with one student at a time.
00:31:23Ha, ha.
00:31:31Dinner is ready.
00:31:33Julie, that's my novel.
00:31:35It's not...
00:31:36I love it.
00:31:38I'm only a few pages in, but I absolutely love it.
00:31:41I do have a few notes, though.
00:31:44Oh, you have some notes, do you?
00:31:46Yeah.
00:31:47It's a diamond in the rough.
00:31:49I'll show you the rough.
00:31:50Which character grew up in Hades?
00:32:01Uh, John T.
00:32:05Oh.
00:32:06Oh, okay.
00:32:07There.
00:32:07Hi.
00:32:12Uh, could I talk to Tuli?
00:32:15Mm, I'll check.
00:32:18It's Armand.
00:32:19I'll be in the other room if you need me, okay?
00:32:28Okay.
00:32:32Hi.
00:32:33Um, I'm sorry for how I acted.
00:32:37Um, not just for trying to kiss you, but I shouldn't have let you go without making sure you had a safe way home.
00:32:43I made it home safe, bumped into an old friend.
00:32:47Please tell me I didn't ruin anything between us.
00:32:50I'm trying to keep up with you, and I'd like to make it up to you.
00:32:54And, uh, I'm trying to show you that I'm the gentleman you deserve.
00:32:59Hey, uh, why don't we go on a date together?
00:33:02I mean, a real one.
00:33:03Just you and I.
00:33:04No French film.
00:33:04No party.
00:33:06Just us.
00:33:08What do you think about that?
00:33:10Not right now.
00:33:20So, are you going to go out with him?
00:33:23I don't know.
00:33:24I told him not right now.
00:33:26Is it because of the party?
00:33:28I totally get that.
00:33:30Well, um, I've kind of been hooking up with someone.
00:33:35Ooh, I see.
00:33:37Well, it better not be your teacher, because that would be crazy.
00:33:42Tuli?
00:33:44No, Tuli!
00:33:47Well, it better be hot.
00:33:48Oh, it's hot.
00:33:50You're going to get in trouble, girl.
00:33:51I am the trouble.
00:33:53Oh, my God.
00:33:54Come here.
00:33:55Oh, my God.
00:33:57Just be careful, okay?
00:33:59Yeah.
00:34:00All right.
00:34:00What does your piece have to say?
00:34:06Behind everything written on the page, what is the reader supposed to walk away from your
00:34:10story with?
00:34:12For example, justice is one of the major themes in Tuli's Mockingbird, or to kill a Mockingbird.
00:34:20Excuse me.
00:34:22Um, what was I saying?
00:34:24You're going to get me in trouble with those Freudian slips in class.
00:34:35I'm the one who's going to get into trouble.
00:34:37And you loved it.
00:34:38I could tell.
00:34:39I've got a hot professor inserting my name into classic literature titles.
00:34:45Yeah.
00:34:45What's not to love?
00:34:46Wait till we talk about a Tuli of two cities.
00:34:49No, shut up.
00:34:50All right.
00:34:50Cash Tuli.
00:34:50I am shutting you up, then.
00:35:10Yeah, if I don't get an A this semester, my mom's totally going to cut off my meal card.
00:35:15Yeah, I know.
00:35:16Who does that?
00:35:17Like, totally psychotic.
00:35:18Like, I'm already suffering enough.
00:35:20Hello, Mr. Mitchell.
00:35:34Hey, Sandra.
00:35:35I just wanted to turn in this paper a little early this week.
00:35:38Yeah, absolutely.
00:35:40Is everything okay?
00:35:42Yeah, it's all part of the grading process.
00:35:46Interesting.
00:35:48Thanks.
00:35:58That was too close.
00:36:00No more of that here.
00:36:02I'll see you later tonight, then.
00:36:04Yeah.
00:36:05Now, we wait a few seconds.
00:36:07You might still be out there.
00:36:08Oh, yeah?
00:36:09What are we supposed to do while we wait?
00:36:11Anything that we were doing before.
00:36:13I'm not going to be out there.
00:36:28Damn.
00:36:29My notebook.
00:36:30I'm not going to be out there.
00:36:33I'm not going to be out there.
00:36:34I'm not going to be out there.
00:36:36I'll do it later.
00:36:36I'll get you out there.
00:36:37That bastard, that's why he wanted to keep it physical.
00:36:55I can't believe I let him lead me on like that.
00:36:58You think you could be married?
00:36:59I don't know.
00:37:00Should I call him, confront him?
00:37:02Mm-mm.
00:37:02Drop him.
00:37:04If he's gonna treat you like you're nothing, you should do the same.
00:37:06I say, call Armand.
00:37:09He wants to take you out on a real date, right?
00:37:12Yeah, but Jace is...
00:37:13Jace is your teacher, and you're his student.
00:37:17But what else is he hiding from you if he's like seeing this other woman?
00:37:21You're right.
00:37:22I know.
00:37:23Let's party.
00:37:28Armand, I think...
00:37:30I think I changed my mind about that date.
00:37:36Your date with Armand is going to be so cute.
00:37:43I bet that he knows all the best French restaurants around here.
00:37:47He says they're all awful.
00:37:49We're getting sushi.
00:37:50What?
00:37:55Oh, it's my dad.
00:37:58Hey, dad.
00:37:59Oh, it's my grandma.
00:38:11And that's all, everyone.
00:38:13Come back Monday with those revisions, and have a great weekend.
00:38:16Hey, it's Julie.
00:38:30Just leave me a message.
00:38:31Hi, uh, is Julie here?
00:38:42Sorry, I'm alone.
00:38:43She's not here.
00:38:44You want to give her a dad?
00:38:46Thanks.
00:38:48Bye.
00:38:48Hello?
00:38:55There's a rain check on our mark, but he said I'm sorry for the loss and gave you these.
00:38:59Tulips.
00:39:00Yeah.
00:39:03There's some pretty.
00:39:03Come on.
00:39:17Tell me what's going on.
00:39:19Really, it's nothing.
00:39:22B.S.
00:39:23I know when you've got girl problems.
00:39:26I'm telling you, I'm only focusing on writing and teaching.
00:39:31That's enough to deal with.
00:39:34Mm-hmm.
00:39:35I can always tell.
00:39:37Face it, bro.
00:39:39Twin intuition is a real thing.
00:39:41That really only seems to go one way.
00:39:44Well, that's because your head's always in the clouds.
00:39:46Or on the next great American novel.
00:39:49So you wish, anyway.
00:39:56Your phone's been going off all night, and you keep declining it.
00:39:58I don't want to get involved.
00:40:02I think she's seeing someone else, so I...
00:40:05So...
00:40:07You're ghosting her?
00:40:09Oh my god, I'm shocked.
00:40:12Jace Mitchell vanishing at the slightest bump in the road.
00:40:17Janelle, I tried to settle down, and marriage didn't work for me.
00:40:23Brooke didn't work for you.
00:40:24Don't blame the entire institution on one psychotic ex.
00:40:29You can bounce back.
00:40:31I can't get over everything so easy.
00:40:34And I tried.
00:40:35My heart wasn't in it.
00:40:38I'm better off just not starting down that path again.
00:40:42Jace.
00:40:43Come on, do you really believe that?
00:40:45Come on.
00:40:59Jace.
00:41:01Tully.
00:41:04Jace, I'm sorry I missed the class.
00:41:06It's been a rough few days.
00:41:08Oh yeah, I bet.
00:41:10I saw Armand showing up at your house with flowers.
00:41:12Are you guys dating?
00:41:15No.
00:41:17So that's why you haven't been answering my calls?
00:41:19What do you care if I'm dating someone?
00:41:20You're not exactly single yourself, are you?
00:41:25I can see you're busy.
00:41:26I'll leave you two alone.
00:41:27No, Tully, come back.
00:41:29I want you to meet someone.
00:41:31Janelle, this is Tully.
00:41:33Tully's my sister, Janelle.
00:41:36So, you're the one that's got my brother all twisted up in knots.
00:41:39Janelle?
00:41:40I'm sorry.
00:41:42I don't know why I just showed up like this.
00:41:43Tully, no need to apologize.
00:41:46You both started this off badly.
00:41:48Come inside.
00:41:58Jace, be a good host and get the bottle of wine and another glass.
00:42:08Sorry for your loss.
00:42:09Was she a good woman?
00:42:12The best.
00:42:14She took care of us when my mom and dad broke up.
00:42:17She was the only thing that got me through it.
00:42:19Our parents broke up too.
00:42:20Did Jace tell you that?
00:42:22He doesn't really talk about himself.
00:42:23Not really.
00:42:25I don't even know his middle name.
00:42:28Jace and I are just...
00:42:30We're just having a fling, no feelings.
00:42:32So, he says.
00:42:36Why does he keep pushing me away then?
00:42:39Hiding himself when I know he wants to open up.
00:42:42He's a closed book.
00:42:43I know.
00:42:46We went through a really rough time growing up.
00:42:48And it's not my story to tell, but...
00:42:50He has his reasons.
00:43:08I'll let you two talk.
00:43:09I'm sorry for lashing out.
00:43:24You're grieving.
00:43:25Believe me, I...
00:43:26Understand.
00:43:27Do you want to tell me about her?
00:43:36Grandma was always there for us.
00:43:38More than your normal, sweet old grandma.
00:43:42She was special.
00:43:44Patient.
00:43:45Kind.
00:43:48Everything that my mom wasn't.
00:43:51And when my mom and dad broke up, she moved in to take care of us.
00:43:57My first romance novels were the ones that I would sneak out of her room.
00:44:03She said it was okay.
00:44:05I just wasn't allowed to explain anything to my dad.
00:44:11I just...
00:44:12If I had known that we were going to lose her so suddenly,
00:44:18I would have spent every second that I could have with her.
00:44:22All those great things.
00:44:23Let that be what she leaves behind in this world.
00:44:29Inside you.
00:44:31And everyone who knew her.
00:44:34Carry her with you.
00:44:37You know what she would have told me about you?
00:44:39Stay awake.
00:44:43She would have told me...
00:44:45To stop messing around...
00:44:47And give you my heart.
00:44:49And I want to.
00:44:51Jace, I know you have feelings, don't you?
00:44:58Not just the sex, not just the fun.
00:45:01Real feelings.
00:45:03You're in an emotional place right now.
00:45:05We can talk about this later.
00:45:07I know you feel it too.
00:45:09You're horrible at hiding it.
00:45:11We can't be together, do we?
00:45:14We've crossed too many lines.
00:45:16That's bullshit and you know it.
00:45:17Tell me the truth.
00:45:18Why are you pushing me away?
00:45:21What are you afraid of?
00:45:24You don't know me.
00:45:26You don't know what I've been through.
00:45:28That's exactly what I want to know.
00:45:31You never would have let me read your book if you didn't want more.
00:45:35I told myself I wouldn't get sucked into this.
00:45:38There's too much at stake.
00:45:40No more than when we kissed in your office.
00:45:43This isn't about you being my teacher anymore.
00:45:45It's about us being serious.
00:45:46I don't know if I can.
00:45:51I don't know if you'll stay.
00:45:53My mother had her secrets.
00:45:55She left us high and dry, having planned her exit for years.
00:45:59I need to know that the man that I'm spending my time with isn't going to leave.
00:46:03That is me sharing myself with you, Jace.
00:46:06Why can't you do the same?
00:46:09Keep your secrets or keep me.
00:46:11Jace, don't let her slip away.
00:46:27I don't want you.
00:46:37I don't want you.
00:46:57Thanks for coming to the funeral with me, Megan.
00:47:12Yeah, of course, girl.
00:47:13Your grandma was such a badass.
00:47:17Oh, I'll get it.
00:47:20Still here.
00:47:22She has a lot going on right now.
00:47:23I don't think she has time for you.
00:47:24Megan knows.
00:47:29Tully, what do you even know about him?
00:47:30If he wants to tell me more, I'll listen.
00:47:44You want to know why I won't commit?
00:47:47Why I can't let you in the way you want?
00:47:52I was married.
00:47:54For two years.
00:47:57And it started off great.
00:48:01I was in love.
00:48:04I thought it was, at least.
00:48:07But we fell apart.
00:48:10She cheated.
00:48:13She threatened to ruin me when I tried to leave her.
00:48:17But still, I had to get out of it.
00:48:25I had lost so much.
00:48:29I had told myself that my book would come first.
00:48:33And I didn't have time to fall for someone.
00:48:42Until I met you.
00:48:43Cheers.
00:48:44Cheers.
00:48:46Who the fuck would love you like I did
00:49:09Know your heart, you're wanting
00:49:11Did you like a nugget
00:49:13Stay when you get mad
00:49:15And who the fuck would love you like I could
00:49:22Cause these years are smarter
00:49:23Now you're working harder
00:49:25It was easy to love you
00:49:27But who the fuck would
00:49:31Or not, I'm sorry
00:49:34We can't be together
00:49:36I wanted to feel the same sort of passion
00:49:39That you felt for me, but
00:49:40Is this because of Professor Mitchell?
00:49:43What?
00:49:44What are you talking about?
00:49:45I saw him at your house, Julie
00:49:46I wanted to tell you about it
00:49:49But it's complicated with him
00:49:51I was never really sure about anything
00:49:54Was our date really going to happen?
00:49:56Armand, yes
00:49:57But I told you that my grandmother
00:49:59Yes, yes, I know, but
00:50:01Your heart was never really in it, was it?
00:50:03I felt pressured to be with you
00:50:05I felt pressured to be with you, Armand
00:50:06If you read the romance novels, you're the perfect guy
00:50:10But I don't think perfect is for me anymore
00:50:13It's gotta be more than just gestures
00:50:18It's gotta be real
00:50:19So you think what you got with him is real?
00:50:22It's becoming more real every day
00:50:24I just hope he feels the same for you, Julie
00:50:28Or he's gonna hurt you
00:50:30Oh no
00:50:41Toy
00:50:43I knew he was hiding something
00:50:45Well, it's over with Armand
00:50:57Julie
00:50:59I have to tell you something about Jace
00:51:02What?
00:51:02Okay, um
00:51:05Remember when I was like
00:51:07What do we even really know about him?
00:51:11Well, that thought stuck with me
00:51:12And
00:51:13I know you guys have been, you know, making up
00:51:16I know I'm nosy and
00:51:18Awful friend
00:51:19Please just hear me out
00:51:22Megan, it's fine
00:51:22What did you find out?
00:51:24Okay, well, I found his faculty page
00:51:26And his email
00:51:27And I decided to search it up
00:51:28Okay, and?
00:51:32You're gonna want to sit down for this one
00:51:35Chase's website was created using the same email
00:51:47As Adam's Inkit account
00:52:02I didn't hear you come in
00:52:08Everything okay?
00:52:09No, Jace, it's not
00:52:10What, are you ever gonna tell me?
00:52:13Tell you what?
00:52:14That you're Adam
00:52:15No wonder I loved your writing
00:52:19I'd been reading it for years
00:52:20Who's Adam, huh?
00:52:22Just some alter ego that you made up?
00:52:25Adam is my middle name
00:52:27The person you were talking to was a real me
00:52:30How long have you known?
00:52:32Was it before that first night?
00:52:34Did you, did you plan all this?
00:52:36No
00:52:36I found out
00:52:38When I saw you in class
00:52:39Months after that first night between us
00:52:41You said the name to one of your chapter titles
00:52:44And I realized who you were
00:52:45I wanted to stay away
00:52:47But I couldn't
00:52:49Then why didn't you tell me
00:52:50Even when we first started seeing each other
00:52:52I was afraid you'd think I was manipulating you
00:52:57What else am I supposed to call it?
00:52:59When that's exactly what you're doing
00:53:00Three years ago when we were supposed to meet
00:53:03You were married, weren't you?
00:53:06The whole time we talked online
00:53:09You were married
00:53:09Yes
00:53:13Unbelievable
00:53:14Jace, Adam
00:53:15I don't know which version of you I'm more angry with
00:53:17It's bad enough that he's my teacher
00:53:31But this
00:53:31I just think back on everything between us
00:53:34And wonder
00:53:35What he's been operating on behind the scenes
00:53:37I knew something was wrong with him
00:53:41That's why I had to look into it
00:53:43Thank you for being nosy
00:53:44You're right
00:53:45And you're also a great friend
00:53:48Hey
00:53:49At least it all came out now
00:53:51And no real damage was done
00:53:53You dodged a bullet
00:53:55Should I drop out of the class?
00:53:57Girl, absolutely not
00:53:58We are not letting him win this one
00:54:00Okay?
00:54:01Okay
00:54:01I am not sentimental
00:54:17I am not sentimental
00:54:31I am as romantic as you are
00:54:33The idea that you know
00:54:35Is that a sentimental person
00:54:37Thinks things will last
00:54:39A romantic person
00:54:41Has a desperate confidence
00:54:43That they won't
00:54:45What does Fitzgerald mean by this?
00:54:48It sounds nice
00:54:49But I don't think it's honest
00:54:51How so?
00:54:55Because some people are neither
00:54:56Some people just use others
00:54:59Thinking that they won't last
00:55:02And then they're glad to throw them away
00:55:06So
00:55:13Hi
00:55:15Hello
00:55:15Lord
00:55:17Oh

00:55:31so yes they called me back in to finish off your class i'm sorry to say that mr mitchell has
00:55:59resigned some administrative matter that's all i'm going to say so help me get caught up with
00:56:08where we are on the assignment from what i understand you're supposed to take one
00:56:13chapter out of the way of the novels and write it in your own style
00:56:18chase should be i'm just packing up what happened you tell me look i know you're hurt
00:56:34but i don't think you'd do anything like this
00:56:36truly did you do it do what tell me the truth did you report chase to the school
00:57:00i did report him because it was the right thing to do right thing you only did that because i
00:57:06chose him over you can it be both really there is rules that exist and you can't deny that you
00:57:11broke them even if it doesn't hurt you what is he going to do with the other student the next
00:57:15student arman you cost him his job maybe his whole career i did that huh what about him what about you
00:57:21you think you're innocent in all of that
00:57:23i know how the investigation is going to end i figured better leave on her suspicion and be the
00:57:43confirmed disgrace that i am doesn't this mean you can see tuli now with no secrets that's the best part
00:57:50tuli's gone we're we're through jace why

00:58:06i was married to brooke things were already falling apart at that point
00:58:11when we set an actual date
00:58:15i knew i had gone too far i knew i had to break it off
00:58:21and by the time brooke and i had divorced
00:58:27it was too late
00:58:29she blocked me so even when we started seeing each other as well us
00:58:36i still couldn't tell her i knew she wouldn't forgive me for ghosting her for lying to her
00:58:47and she didn't she turned me in and i deserved it
00:58:56well what you don't deserve is to beat yourself up about this
00:59:01you have to find a way to move on
00:59:05so
00:59:13We did it. No school, no books, no grades, no teachers. Sorry, it's my subject. No, you
00:59:40know finally it's not. Okay, I'm proud of you. You've grown so much. What do you say we go out tonight? Now that's what I'm talking about.

01:01:17career. Yeah, it is. Night, Megan. Good night.

01:01:54dead flower beds at their feet
01:01:56John didn't notice
01:01:58he gazed deeply into her eyes

01:04:04I had always run
01:04:08from commitment
01:04:09I thought I was done with that life
01:04:11but when we started seeing each other
01:04:14keeping our secret
01:04:16I thought I'd keep my old life in the past
01:04:19but I realized
