32:51how so
32:53polyamorous
32:54you're what
32:58so what does that
33:04love doesn't have to be exclusive
33:06are you seeing anyone else
33:07are you seeing anyone else
33:07not since i got here
33:08but you have
33:09yeah
33:10and no one gets jealous
33:13sometimes
33:14sometimes
33:15but it's all about honesty
33:17did you think i'd be okay with this
33:48i'd hope you're asked before judging
33:49what 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
34:04but you found the right moment to sleep with me
34:05that's not fair
34:07neither is withholding something that changes everything
34:09i never lied
34:10no you 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 congrats
34:21you're twisting it into something that it's not
34:23because i finally see it clearly
34:26you 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
34:36you never stopped to ask me
34:38maya
34:39please
35:06i should never have bothered with theo
35:08ever
35:18you don't think i'd see you 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 you got it
35:32why do you have to punish me for being honest about my past
35:36i'm not punishing you
35:38i'm adapting
35:39to the version you only reveal when it's too late
35:42oh yeah
35:44oh don't worry i'm not going to throw anything
35:59good morning
36:02didn't realize we were back to those

36:08i won't bite
36:13i appreciate the putting
36:15right
36:15you're welcome
36:17maybe boundaries land better when they sound like jokes
36:21you look different
36:24not different just upgraded
36:27into what
36:29the version that sees things how they are not how they could be
36:32that's not fair
36:33no but it's efficient
36:35thank you for the inspiration by the way i updated my dating profile with a new line last night
36:41dare i ask
36:43no poly no drama no surprises after the fact
36:47too specific
36:48we're not our way this
36:49no
36:52oh by the way if someone asks you out claiming to be my friend just go with it
36:59i told her you'd like complicated women
37:07hey
37:08good to see you two getting along
37:10just a heads up
37:11i got a request for the spare rooms
37:13she said she knew you so i figured it was okay
37:16you really are the main character this week
37:18her name is ellie
37:19ellie
37:20so she must be pulling up in a second
37:22i didn't invite her i swear
37:24then what's she doing here
37:26i have no idea
37:27she knew i was here
37:28but i didn't ask her to come
37:30and who exactly is she
37:33we used to see each other
37:35of course
37:46hey babe
37:48you must be maya
37:49i've heard so much
37:51i can't say the same
37:52you didn't tell her
37:53tell me what
37:54that we're not exactly over
37:56ellie
37:58relax
37:59i'm not here to cause trouble
38:00so you brought your girlfriend to the house you're sleeping with me in
38:04oh don't worry
38:05i'm not here to fight over leftovers
38:14you still make toast like it's an art form
38:16some things never change
38:19and some really really don't
38:21wow cute history
38:23was this your airbnb honeymoon as well

38:33you want some coffee
38:35no i'm good
38:36just enjoying the show
38:39you're quieter than i expected
38:41theo made you sound louder
38:44maybe he talked too much
38:47no
38:48i mean he just talks about you differently
38:53you always go for the complicated ones
38:55excuse me
38:56relax
38:57i mean it as a compliment
39:00but if you're that on edge
39:01it might not work out
39:03it doesn't do well with women who take things personally
39:07trust me
39:09trust me
39:09it saves time
39:14thought i might find you out here
39:16i needed air
39:18it feels a little crowded in the house
39:22it's not what you think
39:24then what is it
39:25ellie likes to stir the pot
39:27it's always been her thing
39:29and what's your thing leaving the lid open
39:32she doesn't mean anything to me
39:34why does she act like she never left
39:38maybe i didn't set boundaries when i should have
39:40but i will now
39:42you two have a rhythm
39:45it's like muscle memory
39:47it's history not the present
39:50maybe not for you but for her
