Everly – Y’all only apologized because y’all want something.
Everly – When your actions don’t back up what you’re saying, it doesn’t mean anything.
Alec – Feisty, Everly.
Ethan – Where’s that been?
Everly – It’s always been there, y’all are just men.
Cassie – Preach it.
Alec – Cupcake...
Cassie – Hush.
Alec – Yes, ma’am.
Dom – I’d apologize, but she won’t talk to me.
Harlee – How long has it been?
Dom – Since the hospital.
Tatum – Yeah, I think you hurt her most of all.
Dom – Why?
Tatum – Remember when you were sick a few months ago...
Dom – Yeah... what about it?
Tatum – You thanked everyone for dropping off medicine and food.
Tatum – But you didn’t thank Talia.
Tatum – Dom... we didn’t do anything. It was all Talia.
Tatum – She even took off work a few days because she was worried about you.
Carter – I didn’t know that.
Ethan – Same.
Garrick – Yeah, I thought it was weird you were thanking me.
Dom – And none of you said anything?
Harlee – How about we pull a Talia?
Lila – And that would be?
Harlee – We all find something that embarrasses us, and we do it in front of her.
Cassie – Yeah, she’s done it.
Cassie – Y’all can all do that for her.
I kicked off my shoes, removed my bra, and sighed in bliss.
