Bleed with Me

Rowan, wake up. We're here.

Oh, shit.

I must have fallen asleep.

Yeah, you did.

I'm glad you slept. You needed the rest.

Come on, grab your stuff.

Come on, Brendan's already inside.

Hey. You were supposed to wait for me.

I was going to help you up the path.

It's fine. Rowan helped me.

Stop worrying.

Well, here it is, in all its glory.

Make yourself at home, Ro.

This place has been in my family forever.

My brothers and I used to come here in the summers,

but I actually think I prefer it in the winter.

It's so peaceful.

- Yeah. - Hey, Em,

did you pack that bottle of aspirin?

Um, yeah, it should be in the blue backpack.

He can never find anything.

Do you have a headache, babe?

Oh, no, no, no, I'm fine.

Well, I have a bunch of leftover painkillers

if you need some. How about you, Ro?

Oh, I'm all right, thanks.

Well, here's to your recovery.

And, uh, welcome, Rowan.

Thanks for having me.

So how exactly do you two know each other again?

I told you, babe, she works at Arbor House.

Oh. Right.

And how long you been working there, Rowan?

It'll be six months next week.

I'm just the receptionist, though.

Nothing special.

I kind of lucked out that they were hiring.

And I met Emily on my first day.

Rowan was so sweet.

She came up to my desk to ask for help with the printer

out of anyone in the office.

I don't know. You seemed friendly.

Little did she know I know nothing about technology.

And then at the Christmas party...

You weren't there, babe.

I think you were visiting your parents or something.

Jerry got drunk and started hitting on you.

And I just remember seeing this look in your eyes

and thinking, "Oh, my God, this poor girl needs me."

And we've been friends ever since.

I still can't believe what you said to him.

I could never be that bold.

That guy's a total creep, to be honest.

Yeah, he's... ugh.

Shit.

What happened?

Uh, I thought I saw something outside.

Is it...

There you go. All better.

There's some Band-Aids in the washroom.

- Oh. - It's just that door back there.

Okay.

- Two 4s. - One 5.

One 6.

Bullshit.

No!

She's good. Beginner's luck.

- One 4. - Two 5s.

- One 2. - One 3.

Wait. Bullshit.

Whoa!

Well played.

- Who's playing? - Threw out a 5.

- One 4. - Bullshit.

- You can't do that! - Bullshit!

- That is not allowed. - Bullshit.

You guys are teaming up on me.

I didn't even cheat.

Um... two 3s.

Two 4s.

Can I play another one?

Two 5s.

Two 6s.

Fire's getting kind of low.

Do you mind grabbing some wood, Brendan?

I can get it.

Oh, thanks, Rowan.

It's just around the side there.

Okay.

Sewn it into the clothes that they just donated.

He lost $50,000.

Ugh. What an idiot.

Oh, I have a good one.

So my brother told me about this last week. It's insane.

This couple that he knows just moved into a new apartment.

And after a while, they start hearing sounds in the walls.

And they don't think much of it and blame the neighbors.

And then one night, this woman wakes up to get

a glass of water,

and there's a man standing in their living room.

So basically, it turns out that he'd been living in

like a secret room behind a wall or something.

- Oh, shit. That's freaky. - Yeah.

God, that's terrifying.

- Yeah, for sure. - What about you, Rowan?

What's the, uh, weirdest thing that's ever happened to you?

Um...

Well, one time, someone followed me home.

This woman, she, uh...

...stalked me.

Whoa. Are you serious?

Did you call the police?

Oh, it was nothing really.

I don't know, she just sort of disappeared after a while.

Rowan, what you talking...

Oh, fuck. I'm so sorry.

- I'll grab a towel. - It's okay.

- I'm so sorry, Emily. - It's okay.

- I'm so stupid. - No, it's okay.

- Brendan's got it. - I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Are you feeling okay?

I'm great.

Okay, I think it's time for bed, Rowan.

Help me take her to the bedroom.

This was supposed to be our week away, remember?

Oh, come on, she's nice.

You two seem to be getting along just fine.

I'm just being polite.

What else do you expect me to?

Should we take off her clothes?

Don't be a perv.

You know that's not what I meant.

Look, I just want to spend some time with you alone.

Don't you think we need it?

Can we please talk about this later?

Oh, fuck.

You okay?

Rowan, are you sure you're okay?

Yeah.

Hey, Emily.

Were you...

Yeah?

Never mind. I'm just tired.

Feeling better?

Yeah, much better. Thanks.

I made you a hangover cure.

Doesn't taste as bad as it looks, I promise.

See, not so bad.

Where's Brendan?

Oh, he's still sleeping.

Yeah, you're a hard week at work.

I think he was looking forward to the time off.

Oh, sorry.

Um, I hope it's okay that I'm here.

Rowan, I invited you.

Of course it's okay that you're here.

We're happy to have you.

Thanks.

Hey, Emily.

Yeah?

How do you do it?

Do what?

You and Brendan.

You both seem so happy.

It's really... admirable.

Well, we take care of each other.

It's as simple as that, really.

So, hangover cured?

You bet.

Hey, what's that?

Huh. Let's go take a look.

It was probably a hunter.

You don't know. You could be next.

He's coming for you.

Probably some sick creep.

Stop.

Stop.

Still feeling sick?

Not anymore.

Just can't seem to warm up, though.

Here.

Thanks.

Hey, Emily.

Yeah?

Who do you think did that to those animals?

What?

The rabbits.

Oh. Rowan, don't worry about that.

We were just kidding around.

It's probably hunters or something.

Oh, yeah, I know.

That kind of thing is normal around here.

We're not in the city anymore.

Right. I know.

Oh, dinner's just about ready. It's probably five more minutes.

How's your leg doing?

You didn't get one for Rowan.

Well, I just thought that since...

- Em, I can... - No, it's fine, I got it.
