00:00This is the last time.
00:08Bring me condoms.
00:09I don't ask why. I never do.
00:12Twenty minutes later, I'm at his door, soaked through.
00:15Rain plastering my hair to my face, my thin shirt clinging to every curve.
00:19He opens the door, stares.
00:21Eyes drag down my body, lingering where the wet fabric clings.
00:24His voice drops.
00:25That's my good girl.
00:26I hand him the bag. I've loved him for seven years.
00:28Tonight, he's going to use these with someone else.
00:31Claire, his first love. The one coming back.
00:34Here. The size you wanted.
00:36He takes the bag. His thumb brushes my knuckles.
00:39She's not here yet. Why don't we use them first?
00:42I freeze. He laughs.
00:44Relax. I'm not that much of an asshole.
00:47I set you up on a date next Wednesday.
00:49The guy's rich, oblivious, stable.
00:52You've been with me long enough. It's the least I can do.
00:54His eyes are cold and serious.
00:56She's coming back, and he's clearing the decks.
00:58I clench my fists.
00:59Just send me the address.
01:01Sir.
01:01I turn to leave.
01:02Wait.
01:03He wraps a Burberry shawl around me.
01:05Don't leave tonight.
01:07But she's coming.
01:08You believe that?
01:09You think I'm that much of a scumbag?
01:12It's just been you.
01:13And he is kissing me.
01:14We are desperate.
01:15Nothing gentle about it.
01:16His hands grip my hips, pushing me back against the door.
01:20The shawl falls.
01:21I should stop this.
01:22I know I should, but his mouth is on my throat,
01:24and my head falls back,
01:26and my fingers are already in his hair.
01:28He carries me to the bedroom.
01:30This is the last time.
01:31Claire's flight lamp's tomorrow.
01:33So be a good girl.
01:35Go on that date.
01:36The mask slips.
01:38He's choosing her, after all.
01:39I bite his shoulder.
01:41No, he doesn't stop.
01:43Damien is an animal.
01:44They say men slow down after 25.
01:47With him, not even close.
01:49Sun's up when he finally finishes.
01:51Heads for the shower.
01:53I grab my clothes and go.
01:55That's our rule.
01:57He hates sleeping next to anyone.
01:59Seven years, no matter how exhausted,
02:02I always crawl to the guest room.
02:08Morning, he's back from the gym.
02:11Saved you breakfast.
02:14No time.
02:15Gonna miss my bus.
02:16I can drive you.
02:18No.
02:19I blurred out.
02:21My promotion results are out today.
02:25Can't be seen in your car.
02:28People will think I slept my way to the top.
02:31Por favor, quiero hablar contigo.
02:34The room goes dead silent.
02:36That cold laugh.
02:38Fine.
02:39Suit yourself.
02:43Your blind date.
02:45Next week.
02:48The room spins.
02:52One night made me almost forget why I came here.
02:56I was supposed to hand him the condoms and say goodbye.
02:59Instead,
03:03I let him touch me.
03:05Again.
03:06I take the card.
03:08The edges sting.
03:10Okay.
03:11I whisper.
03:13I'll go.
03:14For years, I've spent every weekend at his place.
03:17He built me a walk-in closet just so I'd stop leaving clothes behind.
03:21Today, I'm packing it all up.
03:23Pink slippers.
03:23The pajamas.
03:25The matching robe I bought to make this feel real.
03:28Everything is gone.
03:29He just leans in the doorway.
03:30Watching.
03:31Arms crossed.
03:32Face unreadable.
03:34I zip the last bag.
03:35Stand up straight.
03:36Meet his eyes.
03:37We're just boss and employee now.
03:39He lets out a cold laugh.
03:41Don't worry.
03:42I won't make things hard for you at work.
03:43I make it to my desk at 9.57.
03:47Breathless.
03:48Heart pounding.
03:49My co-workers already there with coffee.
03:51For the future director.
03:53Don't forget us little people.
03:55I blush.
03:56Results aren't even out yet.
03:57Please.
03:58You've worked your ass off for five years.
04:00It's yours.
04:01The team crowds around, hyping me up.
04:04I let myself smile.
04:05If I get it?
04:06Omakase.
04:07My treat.
04:08The whole office cheers.
04:10Three minutes.
04:11I refresh my inbox.
04:13We regret to inform you.
04:15Promotion denied.
04:16No.
04:17My mind goes blank.
04:19Static filling my ears.
04:20HR walks in.
04:22Behind her, another woman.
04:23This is Claire.
04:24Your new director.
04:26Personally appointed by Mr. Kane.
04:27I look up and stop breathing.
04:29She's exactly like the photo.
04:31The one Damien kept hidden in his wallet.
04:34She is back.
04:35And she's aiming for his bed.
04:36I feel like I have a heavy flu.
04:39I walk to his office like a robot.
04:41Can't stop wiping tears.
04:47Why?
04:48He doesn't look up.
04:52What?
04:54Director of operations.
04:5950 positions in this company.
05:01Why did you give her mine?
05:09She wanted it.
05:10She wanted it?
05:12I gave seven years to you and this company.
05:15I almost died on that Africa assignment.
05:23Nina, this is reality.
05:26I decide what happens here.
05:28I just want fairness.
05:38Fairness?
05:39Fairness?
05:39If we weren't sleeping together, you wouldn't be here.
05:42You took the shortcut.
05:43Now you want fairness?
05:45It hits me like a physical blow.
05:47I worked until I collapsed.
05:50I had to prove I deserved to be here.
05:52But he's right.
05:54I got in because of him.
05:55He gave me everything when he wanted me.
05:58Threw me away when he didn't.
06:00Fairness.
06:01I don't get to ask for that dot.
06:03So I'm done.
06:05Quitting.
06:05Today.
06:07Meeting Damien was like a bad movie.
06:09Fresh out of college.
06:10New York.
06:12Boyfriend cheated.
06:13Moved on like I never happened.
06:15I was drowning.
06:16So I went to a bar.
06:18Tried to drink the pain away.
06:19I'd never been that drunk in my life.
06:21Drank until I didn't know my own name.
06:23I'm shy.
06:24Like, painfully shy.
06:25But that night I walked up to the most beautiful man I'd ever seen and sat down like I belonged
06:30there.
06:30It was Damien.
06:31Looked like he stepped off a magazine cover.
06:34Cold.
06:34Turning everyone away.
06:36Want to come home with me?
06:37The words came out before I could stop them.
06:39He took a sip.
06:40That low laugh.
06:42First time I heard it.
06:43Never met anyone as bold as you.
06:45That night in my tiny apartment.
06:47Broken radiator.
06:48Mattress on the floor.
06:50It was beautiful.
06:51So beautiful I lost myself.
06:53Thought I'd never see him again.
06:55I was wrong.
06:57Next day.
06:57Job interview.
06:58I walked in.
07:00Looked up and there he was.
07:01Sharp suit.
07:03Same cold eyes.
07:04My heart almost stopped.
07:06I recognized him.
07:08Stayed calm anyway.
07:09A few hours later I had the offer.
07:12First day he cornered me in the elevator.
07:14Nina Parker, right?
07:16Can you handle a physical only thing?
07:18I'm usually careful.
07:19But his eyes were too deep.
07:22I...
07:23I can do that.
07:24The moment I said it, I knew I was screwed.
07:27By day he was my boss.
07:28By night my lover.
07:30He gave me money, jewelry, designer bags.
07:33But he also taught me everything about work.
07:36I started hoping.
07:38I started hoping.
07:38Stupid, desperate hoping.
07:40Maybe he'd love me back.
07:42Today that fairy tale died.
07:46Today I learned, if it's not yours, it never will be.
07:51Since I didn't get promoted, I don't need his signature to quit.
07:55I go straight to HR.
07:58Diana's the only one who knows about us.
08:03She gives me a hug.
08:05Thanks for everything, Diana.
08:06I hug her back.
08:07Can you keep my resignation quiet?
08:09Just for now.
08:10I don't want anyone to know I'm gone.
08:12She squeezes my hand.
08:13I promise.
08:14My grandma calls that night.
08:16Sweetie, did you get the promotion?
08:18You said I'd be the first to know.
08:21My throat closes up.
08:22I can't stop crying.
08:26Grandma, I think I'm done with New York.
08:29A beat of silence.
08:30Then she says, excited.
08:32That's great.
08:33I've been worried sick.
08:35When can you get here?
08:36I'll have pot roast, mashed potatoes, peach cobbled, everything you like.
08:40That's when I lose it.
08:42I know what she's doing.
08:44Saving my pride.
08:45Back home, I'm her favorite story.
08:48Her girl in the big city.
08:50I want to make it all worth it.
08:52Bring her here.
08:53Get us a real home.
08:54I have the whole future mapped out.
08:56I can almost touch it.
08:58And now, gone.
09:00I can't sleep that night.
09:01Start scrolling.
09:042.10am.
09:05I see it.
09:06Claire's Instagram story.
09:07Funny how some habits never change.
09:09The photo hits me like a physical blow.
09:11A woman in bed.
09:12Tangled sheets.
09:14A man's arm wrapped tight around her waist.
09:16And on his finger, the Cartier ring.
09:18I forget how to breathe.
09:20I know that ring.
09:21I save months to buy it for him.
09:24He looks at it and sighs.
09:25Nina, you don't need to splurge on me.
09:27There's really no point.
09:28I smile.
09:29But you deserve the best.
09:31He kisses me and looks so in love.
09:33I never think he'll wear it.
09:35Not in public.
09:36Next day, at the all hands, there it is.
09:40On his finger.
09:41The office buzzes.
09:42I sit frozen.
09:44Then he catches me.
09:45Tilts his wrist.
09:46Just enough for the ring to catch the light.
09:49Now that ring is in her bed.
09:50Onto his hand wrapped around her waist.
09:53Tears hit my screen before I feel them.
09:56And then, the last lie dies.
09:58Damien sleeps fine.
10:00He doesn't mind holding someone through the night.
10:02He just doesn't want to hold me.
10:03One week left.
10:05Then I'm done.
10:06Claire finds me at a coffee shop.
10:09You're the one who's been in Damien's bed for seven years.
10:12She says.
10:13She pulls out a hair strip from a plastic sleeve.
10:15Found it in his guest room.
10:17Before I can answer, she throws iced coffee in my face.
10:21And slaps me.
10:22You pathetic bitch.
10:25I swing back.
10:26But a hand catches my wrist.
10:28Damien.
10:31Claire turns on him, shaking.
10:36Damien, you promised me forever.
10:38We weren't apart six months before you replaced me.
10:43Damien's voice goes cold.
10:45Go wait in the car.
10:47She storms out.
10:49His eyes land on me.
10:50Didn't I tell you to keep this between us?
10:52I didn't say a word.
10:54I snap.
10:55She hunted me down.
10:56I nod toward the street.
10:58A black Porsche pulls up.
10:59My date is here.
11:01The one you picked out for me.
11:03Something flashes in his eyes.
11:05Then his mouth flattens.
11:07Have fun.
11:08It sounds like a threat.
11:11He drops his coat over my soaked shoulders and walks out.
11:15So, the guy Damien picked for me.
11:17A total trust fund disaster.
11:19The rich brat drives me home.
11:21I wait until his car disappears around the corner.
11:24Then turn.
11:25And walk straight into Damien.
11:27He's leaning there, checking his watch.
11:29Home after only an hour?
11:30No dinner?
11:31No movie?
11:32He that bad?
11:33I try to push past.
11:34He grabs my wrist.
11:35Yanks me back.
11:36What is it, Nina?
11:37Still obsessed?
11:39Can't handle one night with a guy who isn't me?
11:41I'm getting engaged to Claire.
11:43Whatever we were, it's over.
11:45Cause trouble?
11:46I can have you out by Monday.
11:48I look him dead in the eye.
11:50Voice steady.
11:51Don't worry, Mr. Kane.
11:52I know a dead end when I see one.
11:55I walk away.
11:56I don't look back.
11:57But from the hallway window,
11:59I see him leaning against his car,
12:01trying to light a cigarette.
12:03His hands are shaking.
12:04He doesn't drive off until my apartment light comes up.
12:09I get home and list everything Damien ever gave me.
12:12Bags, jewelry, the luxury crap.
12:15All of it goes on Poshmark.
12:17At work, I smile and say,
12:20Hello, Damien.
12:22Like none of it happened.
12:25The overseas account wraps soon.
12:28Then I'm gone.
12:29I book my flight home.
12:36Nina, want to grab dinner?
12:38Ethan slides a latte onto my desk.
12:41I smile.
12:42Least I can do is thank him.
12:44Yeah.
12:45I'm in.
12:49We walk out.
12:51A delivery guy hands Ethan roses.
12:54He turns to me, ears red.
12:58These are your favorite.
13:00Saw it on your Instagram.
13:05People start hooting.
13:06I freeze.
13:09Oh, he's asking me out.
13:11I open my mouth to let him down easy.
13:15Then I see it.
13:16A black escalade across the street.
13:19Damien behind the wheel,
13:21staring at the flowers between us.
13:23His face goes dark.
13:26He lays on the horn.
13:28Once.
13:30Twice.
13:31Again.
13:33Then he peels out.
13:36The project wraps.
13:38My last day.
13:39I get stuck at a client dinner.
13:41Mark Dalton, the account director,
13:44keeps pushing drinks.
13:45His hand on my shoulder.
13:46I smile through it.
13:54After cold rain.
13:56No caps.
13:57I start walking.
13:59Then I hear footsteps behind me.
14:01Mark.
14:02I run.
14:05My phone hits the ground.
14:07I don't stop.
14:17I hit the emergency button on my watch.
14:20Damien set himself as the contact.
14:26A girl answers.
14:29Damien's in the shower.
14:31Claire, I'm being followed.
14:33Tell him to call the cops.
14:35She laughs.
14:36Still playing victim?
14:38Nina's begging to talk to you.
14:40If you pick up, I'm leaving.
14:45All right, baby.
14:47I won't.
14:49The line goes dead.
14:51I stand in the rain.
14:52Then I look up.
14:53Under the next streetlight.
14:55A shadow.
14:56My blood goes cold.
14:59Next morning, Damien glances at my desk.
15:02Empty.
15:03He figures I overslept.
15:05At 10.30, Diana from HR screams during the meeting.
15:09It's Nina.
15:10Something happened.
15:11Damien goes white.
15:13Diana turns her laptop around.
15:15He shoots to his feet.
15:16What the hell do you mean?
15:18A video.
15:19A man grabs me by the hair.
15:21Drags me towards an alley.
15:23I fight.
15:23He kicks me down.
15:25I keep hitting the emergency button on my watch.
15:27The watch Damien bought me.
15:29The one with GPS.
15:31The one linked to him.
15:32He grabs his phone.
15:34No missed calls.
15:35Nothing.
15:36Then he checks the blocked list.
15:37My number.
15:38Blocked.
15:39Not by accident.
15:40By Claire.
15:41Nina filed a complaint.
15:43Mark Dalton tried to assault her last night.
15:45A stranger helped her get away.
15:47She's asking us to use the footage and press charges.
15:50Where is she?
15:52She resigned a week ago.
15:54She's already gone.
15:55Left New York.
15:55Why wasn't I told?
15:59Company policy.
16:01Anyone below director level only needs department sign-up.
16:05You remember she didn't get promoted last round, right?
16:07That shuts him up.
16:09No one in the room knows why better than he does.
16:14I land.
16:15I land.
16:19Give my statement.
16:21Snap my sim in half.
16:24Back in Buffalo, I buy a condo.
16:28Bring my grandma to live with me.
16:32Sell all Damien's gifts.
16:34A few hundred grand.
16:37I open my own boutique.
16:40A dream since I was a kid.
16:43Opening day, my grandma smiles.
16:46Friends pack the store.
16:49Maybe this is enough.
16:51Some nights, I still think about New York.
16:54About Damien.
16:57For a while, I think I'll never get over him.
17:01Then six months later, I see a man at a bar.
17:05Same build.
17:06Same profile.
17:07Even the way he lifts his glass looks like Damien.
17:11I wait for the ache.
17:13Nothing.
17:14I turn back to my friends and laugh.
17:16I know then, even if Damien stands in front of me,
17:20I can say long time no see and mean it.
17:24Somewhere along the way, I let him go.
17:26A year passes.
17:28I never expect to see Damien again.
17:30My clothing store gets popular.
17:33A local chain pays trolls to post fake reviews.
17:36I sue.
17:37They tank.
17:38Then last Tuesday,
17:42five men with bats corner me in an alley.
17:44Damien appears out of nowhere.
17:48Shoves me behind him.
17:50He fights.
17:53Tosses me his phone.
17:54Call the police.
17:55Before I can dial, a knife flashes.
17:58The man rushes straight at me.
17:59Damien turns.
18:01Throws himself in front of me.
18:02The blade sinks into his side.
18:04Blood soaks his shirt.
18:05He leans against me,
18:07breathing rapid,
18:08and wipes my tears with his thumb.
18:11Don't be afraid.
18:13I'm too stubborn to die.
18:15Even as they load him into the ambulance,
18:19it feels like a dream.
18:21Luckily, the stab wound isn't deep.
18:24Damien gets stitched up and moved to a regular room.
18:27His parents rush over.
18:28Claire comes with them.
18:29In the hallway, she yells at me.
18:31If it weren't for you, he wouldn't be hurt.
18:33I stay calm.
18:34I never asked him to save me.
18:35She freezes, then laughs bitterly.
18:38It was me.
18:39I blocked your number on his phone.
18:41That's why he never got your calls.
18:42I turn to leave.
18:43Her voice stops me.
18:45We broke up a year ago.
18:47She hands me a thick envelope.
18:49Two dozen boarding passes.
18:51Flights from New York to Buffalo.
18:53All bought by Damien.
18:55For the past year,
18:56he flew here twice a month,
18:58just to watch you from a distance.
19:00His friends told him to talk to you.
19:02He cried and said he had no right to be in your life anymore.
19:05She shrugs.
19:06I'm telling you this so you know I've let go, too.
19:09Damien wakes up.
19:10I'm there.
19:11His eyes go red.
19:12Nina.
19:13I thought I'd never see you again.
19:18I set down the boarding packs.
19:20Haven't you already seen me many times?
19:22I'm sorry about the promotion.
19:24He says.
19:26I planned your transfer before we're giving Claire the position.
19:30I squeeze my eyes shut.
19:32Then why didn't you tell me when I came crying to your office?
19:36He freezes, says nothing.
19:38I stand.
19:40Because you thought I just needed to follow orders.
19:43You didn't care how I felt, right?
19:46His face goes pale.
19:48I pay his hospital bills and leave.
19:52In the rearview mirror, he stands at the window.
19:55Then he's gone.
19:57I'm sorry.
19:57Then he's gone.
19:57Then he jumps.
19:58Then he's gone.
19:58Goodbye.
19:58Bye.
19:58Bye.
