33:34and now you tell me this
33:35yeah
33:36you waited for me to trust you
33:38just to drop this
33:39i didn't know when to say it
33:41the right time was before any of this happened
33:47you knew exactly what you were doing
33:58you should have told me after the first kiss
34:01there were so many fights
34:02never felt like the right moment
34:04you found the right moment to sleep with me
34:05that's not fair
34:06neither is withholding something that changes everything
34:09i never lied
34:10no
34:11you just kept quiet until the timing was convenient
34:14do you think this is easy for me
34:16do you think i wanted this to blow up
34:18you want it to be wanted
34:19you got that
34:20congrats
34:21you're trusting it into something that it's not
34:23because i finally see it clearly
34:25you never actually asked me what i wanted
34:29you just hoped i'd figure out how to accept you
34:33you never stopped to ask me who i really am
34:37Maya
34:39please
35:05i should never have bothered with theo ever
35:17you don't think i had to smile today
35:21maybe i'm just over wasting my energy
35:24is that your way of saying you're done being mad
35:27it's my way of saying i'm not playing anymore
35:29so that's it
35:30you wanted honesty
35:32you got it
35:32why do you have to punish me for being honest about my past
35:35i'm not punishing you
35:38i'm adapting
35:39to the version you only reveal when it's too late
35:42Maya

46:57even if i fall apart again yeah i'll be here picking up the pieces you read my old journals
47:04wait what you bookmarked them on your laptop all of them i was just trying to understand you that's
47:13it tell me something true not curated not researched just real
47:30you drew this before i got sick
47:37you knew who i was the whole time
47:48i knew your work i admired it but nothing i read came close to actually knowing you
47:54still feels like a setup it wasn't i swear everything real between us was real not researched
48:02you didn't panic even when i was all over the place how come i don't know i feel like the
48:10one time
48:11freaking out wouldn't help have you ever pictured it the future eventually definitely
48:21even if it means boring routines school pickups grocery lists all the unglamorous parts of real life
48:30especially then give me the leftovers in the school runs it's all i've been dreaming in my life you're not
48:37who i thought you were maybe i was but i'm much more than that
49:00it's not
49:00your screen just said congratulations
49:02Spot.
49:03No.
49:05It's a grant committee.
49:09No way.
49:12Congratulations, Mr. Laurent.
49:14Your brilliant proposal has been accepted.
49:18So, surprise.
49:20Wait, you did this?
49:21You weren't going to submit it.
49:23I knew you'd talk yourself out of it, so I didn't give you the chance.
49:26You sent my work behind my back?
49:28Yeah.
49:29I thought a gentle push wouldn't hurt.
49:31I don't know what to say.
49:32Say I'll go.
49:34And leave you?
49:35Say I'll go for you.
49:37Even if it means not knowing what happens to this.
49:41Nobody has ever done that for me.
49:43Don't get used to it.
49:44You still owe me for the chaos with your ex.
49:47I should be sending you flowers.
49:48We're a therapist.
49:49Maybe both.
49:51If Berlin works out, I don't want to go without you.
49:55Sounds like a plan.
49:56Let's not call it that.
49:58Yet.
50:07Here you are.
50:09How come you're up so early?
50:11My brain thought 5 a.m. was a good time to ever think.
50:14And the beach sounded perfect.
50:18What's today's theme?
50:21No theme.
50:22Just thinking.
50:26What happens when you're gone?
50:28I come back.
50:29I just got used to you.
50:32But I'll get unused, I guess.
50:34It's not forever.
50:36Three months.
50:37Still time to unlearn someone.
50:39You said like I was a bad habit.
50:41Kind of.
50:43No?
50:44This thing.
50:45Whatever it is.
50:46It was just in timing, Maya.
50:49You helped me believe in myself again.
50:51That doesn't vanish because of a trend.
50:53I know.
50:54Don't get me wrong.
50:55No regrets.
50:57Except maybe not kissing you sooner.
50:59Still time to make up for it.
51:02Careful.
51:02You almost sounded romantic.
51:04Relax.
51:04I'm still emotionally unavailable.
51:36You got a message last night.
51:38From who?
51:39Tom.
51:39On the dating app.
51:41Oh, so that's what this is about.
51:42You didn't tell me we're still there.
51:44Because I forgot.
51:45Not everything has secret meaning.
51:51Deleted.
51:52Happy?
51:53I'm not trying to start something.
51:55Then don't.
51:56You're the one leaving, remember?
51:58The landlord came by earlier.
52:01Two days left.
52:03You guessed they're arriving after we leave.
52:06That came fast.
52:08Yeah.
52:10Time goes differently here.
52:13Like we've passed real life for a bit.
52:15So what happens when the real world hits play again?
52:18You stay, I leave.
52:21We both pretend it's fine.
52:24Is it?
52:26No.
52:27Not really.
52:31Do you actually date me?
52:44No.
52:45I'll be coming alone.
52:48Mm-hmm.
52:50Yeah.
52:50Perfect.
52:53Hey.
52:55All good?
52:56Relent stuff.
52:57Finalizing things.
53:00You okay?
53:01Sure.
53:03You're getting everything you wanted.
53:05That's not what I asked.
53:07You said you were going alone.
53:08I figured that didn't include me.
53:11I didn't want to pressure you.
53:13You think asking is pressure?
53:14I think you're scared.
53:16So am I.
53:17So what are we doing?
53:17Trying.
53:19At least am I.
53:20Come with me.
53:23I don't care about perfect timing.
53:26Or whether this makes sense to anyone else.
53:33You made this week feel like real life again.
53:37No a detour, not a break.
53:40Just real.
53:48Come with me.
53:51I'll just do where I live.
53:54Do whatever at least takes us.
54:03I was, um, I was thinking about...
54:11Hey.
54:13Hey.
54:14Everything good?
54:14Yeah, I just, um...
54:17You looked happy earlier.
54:20Good news?
54:21Just finalizing brilliant stuff.
54:22Flights, galleries, boring stuff.
54:26He looked like you were planning your escape.
54:30You thought it was Ellie?
54:32No.
54:35Maybe.
54:36I don't know.
54:37Old habits, I guess.
54:40It wasn't.
54:41But I get it.
54:42I know it's not fair.
54:43I'm just not used to feeling this...
54:46vulnerable.
54:47Me neither.
54:52I admit what I said.
54:54I'm all in.
54:55You can trust this, Maya.
54:57Come with me.
55:02Hold on.
55:03It's my sister.
55:05How serious is it?
55:09Should I come home?
55:14How bad is it?
55:16It's not as bad as I thought.
55:18My sister's got it handled, but...
55:20How do you get worried?
55:21I just felt guilty all of a sudden.
55:23Like I should drop everything and rush home.
55:25You still can if you need to.
55:27I'll be right here.
55:29I never thought you'd be the one telling me it's okay to go.
55:32You're not used to people sticking around.
55:34And you are?
55:36I'm trying.
55:37Especially for you.
55:38This is new for both of us.
55:40Yes.
55:43But it's working.
55:45Family.
55:46We're alone.
55:47All of it.
55:48I want you with me.
55:50Whatever it happens.
55:52You make complicated seem easy.
55:54That's because it feels worth it.
56:00What now?
56:01My sister.
56:02She said mom's asking about you.
56:05About me?
56:07She wants to know if the guy I mentioned is serious.
56:10What did you say?
56:11I didn't answer yet.
56:17Well, should I tell mom to expect someone?
56:20Should she?
56:25You always speak like you're solving a puzzle.
56:28Well, every decision matters, doesn't it?
56:30Even the socks?
56:37You didn't answer your sister.
56:39Not yet.
56:40Do you want me to meet your mom?
56:42Do you want to?
56:43I want to know you outside this house.
56:46That means knowing your world too.
56:50What if our world only works in here?
56:53Then we carry it with us.
56:59Sit still.
57:00Don't go first.
57:04What was that for?
57:06I don't forget how you looked.
57:07Right at the start of us.
57:10You really want to try this out?
57:12More than anything.
57:14So what do you say?
57:19Just a heads up.
57:20Check out this tomorrow.
57:21New guest pulling by noon.
57:31Feels weird to leave.
57:32Feels weird if I don't want to.
57:34We were supposed to rust, remember?
57:37Instead, we're going to tell her speech and find love.
57:41Solid Airbnb review.
57:44Well, well.
57:45We're still talking to each other.
57:46That's rare.
57:48We aim to impress.
57:49And you left the place cleaner than most.
57:52To be frank, I was kind of expecting broken furniture,
57:55given the noise complaints by the neighbors.
57:58Safe travels.
58:00You were good, Kels.
58:01How many seems dropping?
58:03This has to be a mistake.
58:05I booked a solo state.
58:07Yeah.
58:08Well, so did I.
58:11Do you think this is a business model?
58:13It worked on us.
58:14We'll see.
58:16Daveica.
58:16We're good.
58:24Let's go.
