28. See You Soon

Are you sleeping?

Florence, wake up!

Eric it's 2 am, what's wrong?

I can't sleep...I've been thinking about everything.

What everything?

Our friendship.

And this can't wait till the morning?

Where is Jennifer?

She's asleep in the bedroom. I'm out for a walk.

We've been eating far too much ice cream and I told her I felt sick.

Mint chocolate chip?

You know it...

Can I ask you a question?

Sure, what's up?

When did you start liking me?

Moments passed before she answered.

Why are you doing this?

Is this why you wanted to talk, or why you're out walking at 2 am?

Just answer the question please.

Before we met. Happy?

When Florence?

Do you remember the night you went out with your friends?

You told me that Travis wanted you to have a one night stand.

Yeah?

That made me jealous, I guess.

Even though you had no reason to be, I wasn't going to do anything.

I know, but it made me jealous that he'd suggested it.

I was jealous of Adam sometimes. That you would start having feelings for him because he had feelings for you.

And don't tell me he doesn't because he does.

Why were you jealous?

Because if you had feelings for Adam then I wouldn't get the chance to kiss you.

I'm glad I did.

You're not supposed to be.

I'm piecing things together now, you know? Why you asked me all the questions about Jennifer when we first met.

I knew there was something you weren't telling me. I should've questioned you more.

It's better this way anyway.

You get Jennifer back and I get to move on, it's only fair.

You promised to be patient...

I still am, Eric.

But there's going to come a day when I meet someone too – and maybe by then it's easier for us to be friends.

I don't think it'll be easier.

Why not?

Do you still promise to be patient, Florence? Just a little while longer...

What's going on Eric?

You're starting to worry me...

All of my life I've been too nice for my own good.

I want to do something for me, finally.

Is this about your job? About the pitch?

Yes, but it's about so much more.

At this point I'm positive you're sleep walking.

Who knew you was still this funny at this time a night.

If anyone would know it would be you.

Now stop interrupting my beauty sleep.

Good night Florence, I'll see you soon.

Wait? See me?

Eric?

Oh you're such a mean person!

Good night you too..
