"Dear Charlotte,

I want you to know

how sorry I am

about what happened.

I think having this time apart

has been really good for me.

I'm learning how

to be present...

How to live in the moment...

How to listen.

Sometimes I'll hear a joke

that reminds me of you.

And I'll feel sad because I have

no way of telling you about it.

But, maybe, that's okay.

Maybe, it's good to be alone

once in a while.

I don't what

the future holds for me.

I just know that things

are gonna be different now.

And I guess

I just wanted to say thank you.

You're the only person

who reached out to me

after my mom died.

And, I'll never forget that.

And I hope that someday

you and I can...

Look back on all of this

and laugh.

Your friend always,

Ingrid."

You'll freeze to death

if you stay here!

Oh, my god,

you're not gonna believe

who I'm looking at right now.

Ingrid thorburn.

She just saw me.

Yeah, I thought she was

in an insane asylum.

I know, right?

I mean, Charlotte had to get

a restraining order against her.

They weren't

even friends.

Charlotte just commented

on one of her instagrams,

and then Ingrid went

full stalker on her.

She looks bad.

She haunts right now.

So dark...

I wish!

Grateful kitchen, actually.

They are the best.

Check it out

next time you're in L.A.

winking face emoji

hi, Taylor.

Thank you.

Yeah, so, you know,

that sh*t was poppin',

and after a while of me

squeezing on her ass

and rubbin' on it...

We went to the crib

for some netflix and chill.

But you ain't paying

your damn subscription

no, it wasn't nothing like this.

No dude, I gotta' call you back.

Alright.

Hey.

Dan pinto.

Nice to meet you.

Thorburn. Ingrid thorburn.

Okay, Ingrid thorburn.

You-- you like the place?

-Are you the landlord?

-Yes, I'd shock you.

I'm the dude who lives next door

which you pay rent to.

The landlord thing is

just a side hassle

so I can get my real sh*t

up the ground.

You're in movies?

-Yeah.

-Anything I've seen?

-Alright, Batman?

-You wrote that?

No, but I'm writing

a spec script.

It's-it's not authorized,

but I think it will be

a nice installment

in a franchise.

How much is this place?

Twenty-nine hundred,

the first two months,

plus the security deposit.

No pets!

But we are 420 fellows,

so, you know.

Do you take cash?

-Are you an escort or something?

-No.

F***!

-Are you a drug dealer?

-No.

Okay, for real what you do?

You got a backpack

full of money.

Suspicious.

Yeah, if you really wanna know,

my mom just died

and left me a bunch of money.

I didn't mean to offend.

Like, my condolences. I mean...

It's okay.

It's all there.

-Thank you.

-F*** off, then.

Alright. Bye.

See ya' later then.

What's your biggest

emotional wound?

-What?

-It's our question of the day.

- Oh.

Mine's actually my relationship

with my dad.

- I'm good, thanks.

- -Alright.

Well, in that case,

welcome to grateful kitchen.

My name's Eden.

How can I nourish you today?

You know, I'm actually meeting

a friend for lunch here.

-Have you seen her?

-Oh, yeah, Taylor Sloane.

Yeah, yeah.

She comes in all the time.

- I know.

She was actually here

like an hour ago.

You said

you're meeting her for lunch?

What are you doing here, baby?

Come here.

-Yeah?

What? Did you get

a new haircut or something?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I just...

When in California...

Um, did you get a dog?

Oh, you already have company.

My friend asked me to dog sit.

Okay?

What did I ask you to do?

No pets. That's all.

My only stipulation.
