Rayna: Dick.

Rafe:

I'm serious. Why aren't you interested in Chase? He would never hurt you. Ever.

Rayna:

I'm not having this conversation with you, playboy.

Rafe:

You are, though.

Rayna:

Are you texting me from some girl's bed?

Rafe:

No. My bed.

Rayna:

Hmm. You're up early.

Rafe:

You're ignoring my question.

Rayna:

Chase is my best friend. I know he would never hurt me. I love him so much, just not like that. Happy?

Fucks sake.

Rafe:

No, I'm not. I'm going to have to spend the next year of my life trying to convince him that you aren't the one for him, Rayna. Are you sure you're not?

She was, though, wasn't she? So how could I change her mind?

Rayna:

I don't want that kind of commitment, Rafe. I just want fun and excitement. Not a relationship.

I understood that. That was my life she was describing.

Rafe:

It's not all it's cracked up to be, you know.

Rayna:

I'm looking forward to finding out. Chase will meet someone else. He deserves adoration, not a pity fuck.

Rafe:

Well, enjoy fucking around then. Don't think he will be interested after because he won't.
