that you haven't

found a relationship?

Maybe he's just filling the gap

of what you expect from men?

Look, we all know, everyone knows,

that the two of you have

feelings for each other.

Maybe he didn't tell

you about the girl

because he knew it would affect you.

No, I would have been

fine if he'd told me.

Really, I want him to be happy.

Then why are you ignoring his calls

instead of celebrating with him.

Let's do a little survey shall we?

Oh yes, let's.

Mm-hmmm.

When you're not with Brandon,

do you think about him?

Yes.

But I also think about Trent.

Okay, fair enough.

Where did Brandon have

lunch last Monday?

Piccolo Paradisio.

Where did Trent have lunch yesterday?

I didn't have lunch,

I stayed in the store, remember?

I've got one.

Who do you call when you

need help with something?

Brandon.

Mm-hmm, and yet I'm closer.

Do you answer his texts

when you're with someone else?

Sometimes, it depends.

Mm-hmm, depends.

Where does Brandon get his hair cut?

Oh, the Last Tango.

Karen's been his girl for years.

Where does Trent get his hair cut?

I cut his hair.

I knew that.

Bullshit.

Can he answer all those

questions about you?

Um, most of them, but probably not

where I get my hair cut.

I rest my case.

You say that you want

Brandon to be happy,

but you are the one that wants

to make him feel that way.

See, he's not just a great cook,

he's also a genius.

Genius.

Genius.

You keep pushing him away

and you're gonna lose him.

It's about time.

I know, I'm sorry.

Can I come by so we can talk?

Sure, I'm in.

Please, come in.

Can I get you anything?

Do you have some wine?

I think I do.

Here, open this will you?

I'll get some wine glasses.

All right.

Nice work.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm here.

I have to come clean

with you about something.

And I need your help.

All right.

Is that all I get?

I'm not sure what it is

you've come here to say.

First of all,

I am sorry that I reacted

the way I did in Pismo.

I mean that was a nice trip.

I felt like I ruined it.

And second?

I have hard alcohol if

that'll make this easier.

Brandon don't joke,

this is hard enough as it is.

I see that.

I don't know where to start.

You're the only person that

I can talk to about this,

and yet at the same time

you're the only one I can't.

Oh Ronnie, it's okay.

You're safe with me.

My anger came from jealousy.

And it's not right, it's not me and,

I don't want to feel the way

that I feel about you and,

and I want you to help

make those feeling go away.

What feelings?

The ones that make

me want to kiss you,

when I look at you sometimes.

I'm trying to understand why

you need those feelings to disappear.

Because they're not right, or fair,

or safe for me to have them.

What are you afraid of?

Losing.

Me?

No, me.

Hold that thought.

In here, honey.

I am such a dip,

I can't find my phone.

Hi.

Hello.

Honey, this is Veronica.

Veronica, meet Kristen.

Oh my God.

It's so nice to finally meet you,

and I'm sorry I'm in such a rush.

Oh, here it is.

And I'm late, I gotta go.

Nice to meet you, Kristen.

Nice meeting you too.

Okay, great, drive safe.

Let me know when you get there,

please.

He's always making me check in.

See you later.

Wow.

Living together in

less than six months.

What?

Nothing.

- Okay.

- What?

Nothing, I think I should go.

No, hold on a second.

You want me to believe you

have these feelings for me,

but for a whole week

you've been cold,

unkind, and ignore me to the point

that I thought you never

wanted to speak to me again.

You have a very strange way of

showing your heart, Veronica.

You know me

better than anyone else.

But I don't want to have

these feelings for anybody,

let alone you.

And then to have your

girlfriend thrust in my face,

it completely broadsided me.

I didn't even know how to act.

And you really want these

feelings to just go away?

Yes, desperately.

And if Kristen wasn't in the picture,

would you feel differently?

I don't know. She is--

When has that ever mattered to you?

Oh that's not fair.

I have so much more to lose.

Do you?

Oh make love to me.

Please.

Call you tomorrow?

I'll be at the store.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

I know you want to make more room,

but we could store most

of these in the back,

and you could sell them online.

They're all going to

the local libraries.

Even better.

What time do you have?

Quarter to four.

What?

Take these out please.

Okay.

Ronnie, Brandon's on line one.

Hi.

Hey.

I was wondering when you might call.

Yeah, I'm sorry I just got out

of a meeting with my publisher.

Oh well, I've been busy, it's fine.

How did it go?

I'm not convinced they're in love with the

concept of my new book, but such is life.

Wasn't it just a scout?

Yeah yeah, and I did a tap

dance to put them at ease,

but I'm definitely gonna

have to go back up north

and give them some new looks.

Sooner, rather than later.

Anyway, so what's new?

Um, nothing.

Just today.

Oh,

I told my agent I'd get back to him

after my meeting.

Can I reach out to you later

about us maybe getting together?

Whatever works.

Okay great, chat soon.

Veronica.

Hi, Ian.

Haven't seen you in a while.

You miss me?

How much is it, 17 something?

Yeah, $17.63.

Keep it.

Hello.

Sorry about this afternoon.

It's fine.

What's up?

I just remembered Trent's

thing is tomorrow night.

It is.

I've already cleared my schedule so,

where and when am I meeting you?

Just meet me at the store,

we'll go from there.

Sounds good.

Okay.

See you there.

Who here is planning

tonight after the show

to go home and have sex?

Just, show of hands.

Okay, no one, really?

All right, so you guys are all

like me then, you're married?

Okay, what is it about marriage?

It absolutely kills your sex life.

Careful.

Careful, somebody want to

give me a ride home tonight?

I might need one.

Um, another thing that

really gets in the way

of peoples' sex lives, is pets.

Yeah, have you ever noticed that when

there's an animal in the room,

it's almost impossible to

keep your mind in the game?

Right? It's kind of

distracting and creepy,

'cause they watch.

I will kill you b*tch

if you tell that story.

Oh you've said that so many times.

So tonight, and they're

giving me the light now,

it's time for me to go.

I'm gonna go home with my husband

and we're going to

have some ice cream,

and get into our PJ's,

and watch the Golden Girls.

And not have sex.

All right, I'm Trent Masterson,

goodnight everyone.

Thank you.

Yeah, he did.

I am really glad that he

brought that animal bit

back into the act.

Come on,

everyone's had that experience

once or twice, right?

Tell them about the moray eel.

Oh no no, that hurt.

No, you've had that happen, right?

Come on Brandon.

Oh you don't have to answer that.

Don't worry, I won't.

Kristen's sorry she

couldn't be here tonight,

she really wanted to come.

Well, you all just have
