Practically ruined high school for

me.

well he ruined my Sweet Sixteen.

same weekend!

Youre a piece of work

Youre a piece of sh*t.

Damn it.

The kiss was electric.

Transformative. Spiritual. Enchanted.

It was like their first

kiss all over again,

except now they knew exactly

what they were doing.

So I said, like, listen, Kyle.

Youre everything to me.

Youre my sun, my moon, my galaxy;

when are

you going to get this?

-And he was like, not getting it...

-Right!

-Hey!

-Hi, how are you?

I'm great. Last night was amazing.

How much longer are you going to

be in town?

Im here for you. How... how long

do you need?

I was just wondering, if youre

still around this weekend,

if youd like to come to the babys

naming ceremony.

Its just a little hippie thing out in the

yard.

Not religious or anything.

-Buddy, I would love to come.

-cool. allright

Saturday, at the

house, around one.

Perfect, I can not wait to see.

Great.

Hi, Mom.

you would not want to say hello?

Its been so long, I almost forgot

what you look like.

I wasnt avoiding you. I was

planning to call.

Why didnt you

just come stay with us?

I needed a quiet place to write.

You have no idea I have tons of work to

catch up on.

Are the books still selling well?

I can hardly keep up.

This is the money invested

to purchase the property?

I heard you were back here to work

on some kind of real estate transaction?

I was just surprised you didnt use

Aunt Lena as your broker.

Shes a little hurt.

Honey?

Look what I found!

-Welcome!

-Thank you.

-Be a real estate tycoon.

-I do not know that.

-What is this?

-The Dolce.

I hope youre eating enough in the city.

Its important to take care of

yourself, sweetie.

Lean Cuisine is not a meal

I think I might be an alcoholic.

Very funny.

Youre not still pulling it, are

you?

Stop it. Its just that your hair is so

beautiful.

Mom? Can you please take down that

picture of me and Allen?

Which photo, sweetie?

Our wedding picture? Were

divorced.

We just thought it was a nice

memory.

Of my failed marriage?

The wedding wasnt a failure.

Remember that tiramisu?

I like that Allen

Dad, hes my ex-husband. Youre

supposed to be on my team.

Hes a nice guy. Thats all. I

didnt know there were teams.

Have you seen any old friends on

this visit

Actually, Ive seen quite a bit of

Buddy.

The old beau, eh?

I remember you kids were so cute

in high school.

Its funny how those initial instincts

can often be so right.

You can make mistakes along the way,

but the world has a way of bringing you

back to the person youre meant to be with.

Its good to keep those people in

your life.

People that really know

you best.

That new baby of his is just

darling.

Have you seen it up close?

I suppose.

Is everything okay?

I am sure he will be okay,

is too early to tell.

Buddy always said

wed make pretty cute kids.

... In the world.

Hey, did you guys ever sell my Cabriolet?

Yes!

sweet ride

What is it?

Is that a drop-top?

I just saw my mother and father.

Heavy. What are they like?

Horrible.

God. Ive been through a lot.

Want to become lioma?

Why do you think I'm here?

Lets go drink in the woods behind

the school.

-It is a little ...

-Come on!

Well.

You can not walk

more slowly?

Our school is so ugly.

It looks just like a factory.

It used to be a rubber fabrication

plant in the 20s.

You know everything.

These woods were like Hump City

back in the day.

I remember being out here with

a few different guys.

I never knew you were a slut.

I was normal.

So whats going on with old Buddy?

Hows the master plan unfolding?

He called me today

and asked me if I would participate in his daughters naming ceremony on Saturday.

I do not know ...

theres still so much thats

unspoken,

but Hes

involving me in his childs life.

Buddy is a married man

By all accounts, happily

Yes.

happily married men go to bars

alone with their ex-girlfriends

all the time.

They call them privately. They make out

with them on the porch...

He did not make out with you

You were not there.

Kissed.

It was really intense and

passionate.

He gave me the shirt.

Yes, I noticed.

They probably

noticed in space.

And FYI, you look completely

insane wearing it.

Look, I dont

know exactly what Buddys doing with you,

or what you think hes

doing with you,

you need to move on.

Youre one to talk

All they care about

All you care about is some scuffle that

happened 20 years ago.

You lean on that crutch and you lean on

excuses,

and you and I both know

that youve used the whole thing

as an excuse to do absolutely

nothing in your life

A scuffle?

You dont know sh*t

about what happened to me.

Those jocks you used to blow during

lunch

they shattered my legs

they bashed in my brain

mangled my cock

so I have to piss and cum sideways

for the rest of my life,

and they left me for

dead.

You know, Things arent so great down

south.

I can barely get off by myself

let alone with another person.

You know, Whats done is done.

You cant

dwell on the past.

Are you f***ing kidding?

Talk about

dwelling in the past. here you are,

back in Mercury like a

loser,

trying to score with a guy

whos happily married man

Buddy is not happy!

Okay? Stop saying

that!

Youre hardly the authority on

happiness, Sylvia.

You know what, Matt?

Its really a shame that youre

like this.

Because If you had a good

personality,

none of the other

stuff would matter to people.

why dont you

use my crutch as a metaphor again?

That was brilliant.

That was masterful.

save it for your little teenage

stories.

God knows you dont know

anything about being an adult.

It wasn't the first time Kendal

Strickland was let down.

For all the good they did, beauty and

popularity

didn't inspire much loyalty.

Would it be nice to have peers?

Friends she could respect?

sure.

but Kendal knew the lone

march of being special a little too well.

She was used to blazing

her own trail.

It was obvious that

Ryan still loved her.

Crystal clear.

And perhaps that was unfair to his

new girlfriend.

But Kendal Strickland was going to think

about herself for a change.

"Who was taking care of Kendal?"

And on the subject of fair

was it fair that people misjudged Kendal's

intelligence

just because she was

so beautiful?

Was it fair that everyone

thought her life was so easy

when it was anything but?

No!

Life wasn't fair,

and it was up to

Kendal to step in and make things right.

Sometimes, in order to heal,

a few people have to get hurt.

-Hi, Jan.

-Hi.

Well! Its been a very long time

Ive been a busy girl.

Yes, I heard.

Buddys been very busy,

ha ha! And Bethie.

Im finally a grandma.

speaking of devil!

-Hey!

-Hi, how are you?

How you doing?

Well.

I brought gifts.

-Thank you.

-Theyre just burp cloths.

Great, we always need more pukers.

Hey Mom, I think Beth needs help

with the endive thing.

-Can we talk?
