Skye holds her breath as she waits for a response.
It comes seconds later.
Caleb
Caleb
Really? Of course I’ll meet you.
Skye
Skye
Good.
Caleb
Caleb
Skye, I’m sorry if I caused you any problems.
Skye
Skye
You didn’t. No more apologizing.
Skye
Skye
You didn’t do anything wrong.
Caleb
Caleb
I’m glad you’re giving us a chance. I can’t wait to see you.
Skye
Skye
Me too.
And she means it.
She hesitates, but finally starts typing.
Skye
Skye
I can’t meet you, Scott.
Scott
Scott
Tomorrow then.
Skye
Skye
No, never.
Scott
Scott
Is this because of Caleb?
Skye
Skye
It’s because of you.
Scott
Scott
What’s that supposed to mean?
Skye
Skye
It means I’m tired of your games.
Scott
Scott
I’m not playing games. I want to see you.
Skye
Skye
Because you hate the idea of Caleb being with me.
Scott
Scott
This is crazy. Of course I hate the idea of you with Caleb.
Scott
Scott
Just like you’d hate it if I was with Millie or Vivian or any of your friends.
Scott
Scott
Not wanting you with him doesn’t change the fact that I miss us.
Skye
Skye
I can’t do this again.
Skye
Skye
I’m tired of lies. I want someone I can trust.
Scott
Scott
So you’re going out with my shitty roommate?
Skye
Skye
It’s not any of your business. Not anymore.
Scott
Scott
Skye!
Skye
Skye
Goodbye, Scott.
Skye erases all of his texts and breathes a sigh of relief.
Later, as Skye walks to the bar to meet Caleb, she writes Millie.
Skye
Skye
I made up my mind.
Millie
Millie
And?!
Skye
Skye
And you’re going to be happy.
Millie
Millie
Yes! Go #TeamCaleb!
Skye
Skye
🙂
Millie
Millie
What made you decide?
Skye
Skye
So many things. But mostly — it just felt right.
Millie
Millie
Well, I’m glad you’re finally going for the nice guy.
Skye
Skye
Hey! I’ve dated nice guys before.
Millie
Millie
No comment.
Skye
Skye
Haha.
Millie
Millie
Seriously though, I’m really happy for you. I always thought you and Caleb would make a great couple.
Skye
Skye
I guess if I’m honest…deep down, I did too.
Millie
Millie
I knew it!
Skye
Skye
Go ahead, say it.
Millie
Millie
I told you so!!!
Skye
Skye
You did. I mean, I loved Scott. I really did.
Skye
Skye
And some days he was amazing. But others…
Millie
Millie
Yeah, I remember.
Millie
Millie
But through it all, Prince Charming aka Prince Caleb was there.
Skye
Skye
He really was. After Scott and I would fight, he’d be the one to make me feel better.
Skye
Skye
He’d make me laugh.
Skye
Skye
When Scott would make me feel ugly, Caleb was the one who made me feel beautiful.
Skye
Skye
He was always there for me.
Millie
Millie
And tell me again why you stuck with Scott for so long?
Skye
Skye
Because those good moments were really good. But they weren’t enough.
Millie
Millie
You deserve better.
Skye
Skye
I think I finally found it.
Millie
Millie
You found it a long time ago. You’re just finally realizing it.
Skye arrives outside the bar.
She sees Caleb through the window.
He doesn’t see her.
Skye
Skye
Better late than never.
Millie
Millie
You can say that again.
Skye
Skye
I’m meeting him now at Wine and Kisses.
Millie
Millie
Now?!!
Skye
Skye
Yeah, I just got here.
Millie
Millie
Then why are you still talking to me?! Go!!
Skye
Skye
Wish me luck.
Millie
Millie
You don’t need it. You’ve got this.
Skye puts her phone away and walks into the bar.
Her pulse is already quickening.
Caleb
