Coby promised to bring Ti & her piece-of-shit car out to Heather's place so Ulises could work on it for her, so he takes her, even though he knows it's trouble for him to be with her, it'll only keep him wanting her. Heather's place is finally finished, and she went to town with the paint job on the walls. Typical Heather, she already has her stuff strewn about everywhere & the place looks like it's been this way for years, though he is pretty sure this living room is where Heather's bedroom used to be.

Heather wanders out into the kitchen, leaving Coby alone with Ti. It's not safe for him to be left alone with her, he can't keep his hands off her.

She is more into him now that she's moved on than she was when they were together. He remembers how hysterically miserable she made herself after she broke up with the guy before him, and he sees her pattern: she likes her boyfriends best after she's dumped them. Knowing this doesn't help at all.

He pulls away from her & it hurts like pulling off a bandaid, but he has to do it. "Ti, this has to be the last time we hang out like his. I wanted to be your friend but I love you too much & you aren't trying to be my friend at all, you're fucking me up in a major way. I've never felt like this about anyone, so I don't know how long this offer is good, but I'm yours if you want me, if you drop the French guy. I just can't have it any other way," he says. The tears start welling up in her eyes & her lips quiver & pout: Coby doesn't think he can hold up much longer. "Rainier's not French, he's Belgian," she says. Coby sighs & drops her hands. She is the worst thing that ever happened to him. "I don't fucking care, Ti, where he's from..."

Not the best time for Heather to come in.

Having someone to look at & talk to besides Ti does help break the tension.

Heather has to go pick Amber up from wherever she is, but she cooked before she left. Coby avoids looking at Ti as much as he can while they eat.

Ti's car is old, run down & falling apart. She wouldn't get much if she sold it & she can't afford a new one. Coby wants to help her out, but he can't be bringing her out all the time for continual maintenance on the piece of shit. She's poison, and the sooner he gets her out of his life, the better. As they head out, each to their separate cars, Ti tries to invite herself back to his place, but Coby thought ahead, "I have a date tonight, Ti," he says, and hurries off to meet Nina. He's going to be late if there's any traffic at all.
