The clock strikes 8pm yet Reece remains seated at his drafting table, redrawing his design for the fifth time that night…
Molly
hi 😅
Reece
Hi?
Molly

Reece
Yeah, I am.
Why?
Molly

Reece
Huh?
Molly

Reece

Molly

Reece
You never do.
So why?
Molly

Reece
Sure.
So why?
Molly

Reece
Yep.

Molly

Reece
Obviously.
So just tell me what you need, Molly.
Molly

Reece
Might finish late but sure.
Molly

Reece
Jesus, what is it?
Just tell me.
Molly

Reece
Is that my gate?
Molly
hanna and i broke up so i left our place
Reece
What the fuck are you doing there?
Molly
can i crash at your place?
please please please
Reece
What the hell is happening, Molly?
Molly
i didn’t know where else to go! 😩
Reece
Uhm, home?
Molly
you know i can’t go home…
i don’t wanna hear dad say “i told you so”
or hear him ridicule my choices in sexuality and partners 😢
Reece
So you decided to go to my place?
Molly, I’m not even at home lol.
Molly
i know… i didn’t know 🫠
i just need help, reece…
please?
Reece
Ugh.
Molly
and i don’t wanna be alone rn 😩
that’s a 3-year relationship down the drain
Reece
Fine.
The spare key’s in the blue pot by the door.
Molly
yay! omg
thank you, reece 🥺
Reece
I’ll be home late so lock the door.
And don’t touch anything.
Molly
i know, i know!
Reece
What happened anyway? Why did you leave?
Didn’t you guys just moved in together?
Molly
we did… but only her name was on the lease so i knew i had to go 🫤
Reece
Wrong move.
Molly
i know!
but i also didn’t want to stay there and see that cheating ass face 😠
Reece
Hanna cheated on you?
Molly
yes! that motherfucker 😭
apparently, she’s been fucking around with her customers at the bar EVERY FUCKING NIGHT!
the audacity!
Reece
Yikes.
Well, make sure you get tested before you use my bed.
Molly
fuck you!
Reece
Lol.
Hanna didn’t deserve you anyway.
She was way too complacent with life, no dreams to improve her way of living and all.
Good riddance.
Molly
aww, do you mean that?
that’s really sweet 🥺
Reece
Just trying to comfort you with lies.
Molly
bitch, nevermind!
Reece
Lol. Anyway, just feel at home.
The pantry’s also stocked in case you’re hungry.
Molly
thank you, reece 😢
i appreciate this a loooot, okay? 😮💨
and i promise, i won’t be staying here forever haha
just until i figure things out 🤗
Reece
Sure.
Good night, Molly.
❤️
When Molly has finally settled in at Reece’s place, she opens her messages thread with Hanna.
Hanna

Molly

Meanwhile, a conflicted Reece receives text messages from his mother.
Mom
Reece!
Why didn’t you tell me that Molly’s with you?
What happened? 😩
I called her and she’s got puffy eyes!
And then I realized that she was at your place.
Is she okay? 😥
Reece
Jesus, calm down.
I think she’s okay, mom.
Mom
She looks so lost and confused!
Did she and Hanna got into a fight? 😮💨
Reece
Why don’t you ask her?
Mom
She wouldn’t tell me!
I’m getting so worried 😩
Reece
Well, it’s not my story to tell.
Mom
I just need to know if she’s okay 🥺
Reece
She just doesn’t want to be alone, mom.
But she did break up with Hanna who’s apparently been cheating on her.
Mom
Huh! I knew it!
The moment I met that woman, I knew she was no good for my girl 🤨
And she cheated?! How dare her! 😵
But why did Molly leave their apartment? She shouldn’t let Hanna have the final laugh!
Reece
I think Hanna didn’t put her name on the lease or something?
Mom
That snake!
Gosh, I’m so glad you let her stay with you then! 🥺
You’re such a good boy, Reece. Please take care of her.
Reece
Don’t you think she’d be better off with you at home though?
Get all that emotional help and healing stuff.
Mom
Oh, honey.
You know your dad’s going to hate that idea 🫤
Reece
Up until now, he’s still refusing to acknowledge Molly’s choices?
Mom
He’s oldschool, you know that.
Reece
No, he’s an asshole.
Mom
Don’t talk about your father that way, Reece.
He loves you both 🤗
Reece
Yeah, he just doesn’t love that Molly’s bisexual lol.
Mom
It’s an unusual preference, okay?
Women don’t usually prefer other women 😅
Reece
Jesus.
Mom
Just take care of her for me, okay? 🥺
Reece
You do know that I’m gonna need my own space back, right?
Mom
I know, honey.
But just for a little while, okay? Be there for your sister 😞
Reece
Ugh.
Mom
Where are you anyway? Molly told me you’re still out.
Reece
I have a deadline.
She’ll be fine.
Mom
Just check up on her when you get home, please? 😅
Reece
Ugh. Fine.
Mom
Thank you, honey.
👍
You two take care 🥰
👍
I’m sure it’ll be quick, like she’s going to eventually get back on her own feet soon.
👍
The next thing you know, she’s already out of your place.
👍
