Caleb
Hi. I know you asked for time and I’m going to give it to you…
Caleb
But I have to tell you something.
Skye
You’re using me to get back at Scott. This was all a big game.
Caleb
What? I would never. That’s not true.
Skye
So your girlfriend didn’t hit on Scott? And you didn’t get pissed at him?
Skye
You didn’t want to make him pay?
Caleb
It’s a lot more complicated than that.
Skye
Is that woman still your girlfriend?
Caleb
No. We broke up months ago.
Caleb
That was part of it.
The reaction surprises her — she really didn’t want Scott’s words to be true.
Skye
How convenient then that his ex just happened to text you. I bet you loved that.
Caleb
I did, Skye. But not because I wanted to get back at him…
Caleb
Because I like you.
Skye
Sure. You must have liked having a weapon to use against Scott.
Caleb
You know me. Does that sound like something I would do?
Skye
I don’t know. We haven’t spoken in years.
Skye
And even back then, it was just because I happened to be around your apartment all the time.
Caleb
It wasn’t like that, and you know it.
Skye
I don’t know anything anymore.
Caleb
Please, just hear me out.
Caleb
I should have known he’d do something like this.
Skye
What are you talking about?
Caleb
I saw him this morning. I shouldn’t have said anything, but I did.
Caleb
I told him you texted me by accident. And I told him I asked you out.
Caleb
That’s why I was texting you now, even though I said I’d give you space. I wanted you to know I told him.
Caleb
Yes. I’m sorry. I don’t know if that was a mistake or not.
Caleb
It just didn’t feel right keeping that from him.
Caleb
I can’t stand Scott, but he IS my roommate.
Skye was confused before — but now, the feeling quadruples.
Had Scott known all along?
Was he lying…or is Caleb?
Skye
He said he had no idea we had been talking.
Caleb
I promise you, Skye. I told him.
Skye
What time did you tell him?
Caleb
I guess it was just after 8, when he got back from the gym.
Scott’s first text was at 8:14 am
He HAD known about her texts with Caleb.
In fact, that must have been the reason he reached out to her.
Skye
That’s when he texted me. He acted like he didn’t know anything.
Caleb
I’m sorry, Skye. I didn’t mean to make this harder for you.
Skye needs to hear from Scott.
She wants his side of the story, so she texts him and doesn’t pull any punches.
Skye
Don’t play dumb. You lied. Caleb told you about our texts.
Scott
I don’t know what he’s telling you, but it’s bullshit.
Skye
Cut the crap, Scott.
Skye
He said he told you around 8. That’s *exactly* when you texted me.
Skye
If you tell me it’s a coincidence, I’m blocking your number.
She always hated when he’d tell her to relax.
Especially in a moment like now — when she has a right to be pissed.
Scott
It’s not like it seems.
Skye
Yeah? Because it seems like you lied to me.
Scott
And I thought if you knew he told me, you’d think that was the reason why I was contacting you.
Scott
It’s not, Skye. I just miss you.
Skye
You have a funny way of showing it.
Scott
What do you want me to say?
Scott
That I got jealous when I found out Caleb asked you out?
Skye
I should have known.
Scott
But don’t you see? This is a good thing.
Skye
You lying to me is NOT a good thing.
Scott
I only did that so you wouldn’t be mad at me.
Skye
That clearly worked.
Scott
I see that now. But don’t you get it?
Scott
This whole mess made me realize how much I still want you.
Scott
Don’t let something stupid stand in our way.
Scott
I’m serious Skye. I love you.
Scott
Let me make this up to you—
Skye had wanted to hear him say that he loved her since they broke up.
Because there was never really a question.
Skye
Can you meet me at Wine and Kisses at 8?
