00:00A mother comes to check on her son who lives alone, but she finds a woman in his apartment.
00:04Instead of waking her up right away, she slowly walks over to get a closer look.
00:08One glimpse at the woman's face and she's absolutely delighted.
00:11Anna wakes up shortly after.
00:12She spots John's mom in the kitchen and jumps to her feet.
00:15She starts explaining herself in a panic.
00:17The lock on her door was broken, so she had nowhere else to stay.
00:20But John's mom waves it off like she already knows what's going on.
00:23She tells Anna there's nothing to be embarrassed about.
00:25Anna keeps trying to explain anyway, and looks for any chance to make a run for it.
00:30But John's mom blocks her path.
00:31Anna has no choice but to stay for breakfast.
00:34Over the meal John's mom starts asking Anna all about herself.
00:37That's when John walks through the door.
00:38His mom completely ignores him, and keeps firing questions at Anna.
00:42John is beyond mortified.
00:43He tries to get Anna out of there as fast as he can.
00:46His mom tries to keep her there, but John manages to get Anna out the door.
00:49That evening John shows up at Anna's place.
00:51He's carrying a box with him.
00:53Anna has always struggled with feeling safe on her own.
00:55So John bought a bunch of guy stuff to leave around her apartment.
00:58That way if anyone broke in they'd think a man lived there too.
01:01Anna is genuinely touched.
01:02So just as John is about to head out, she stops him with an invitation.
01:06The two of them end up at a bar together.
01:08A few drinks and Anna starts opening up about her past.
01:11She didn't always have paranoia.
01:12It started the day a woman showed up out of nowhere.
01:15Turns out she was the wife of Anna's boyfriend.
01:17Anna cut things off with him immediately, but he tracked her down.
01:20She went off on him.
01:21Then he sent her photos he had secretly taken of her, and started threatening her with violence.
01:26She eventually got away.
01:27But that terrifying relationship left her with severe paranoia, and she's still dealing with
01:31the fallout to this day.
01:33John admits he can't fully wrap his head around it.
01:35Anna just laughs it off with a self-deprecating smile.
01:38Seeing her like that hits John right in the chest.
01:40Before long they're back at her front door.
01:42The vibe between them is anything but casual.
01:44Just as John turns to leave, Anna reappears and invites him in for noodles.
01:48When John steps inside again, Anna suddenly starts coming onto him, and John is completely
01:52caught off guard.
