Crave

Abigail.

Max?

Come here.

Oh my goodness. How are you?

I'm good. How are you?

I'm good.

You know, it's so weird.

I just had a dream about you last night.

That is very weird.

That is really like.

Whoa!

Are you living in the city now?

Uh, no.

Eventually I will.

Yeah.

It's wild.

How's the family?

The kids must be grown.

Um.

What?

My husband actually died about a year and a half ago.

Oh my God.

Come here.

Oh, thanks.

I'm sorry.

Thanks. It was pretty horrific, honestly.

Yeah.

Illness.

Addiction, actually.

Jesus.

Yeah.

Sorry. I had a couple family members die consecutively in a

few months.

Like the last couple of years?

Yeah. That's awful.

It's hard to come out of the fog, I get it.

You still in real estate?

No. I left.

I decided it was time to get back to my original dream.

Oh, yeah?

What's that?

Uh, writhing.

Really? What kind?

Screenplays.

Nice.

Yeah.

Exciting.

Yeah. I really, really love it.

And, uh, before the kids were born, I actually sold some

scripts and, you know, needed

more money, more consistently, so.

Yeah. Yeah.

Your husband was a lawyer, right?

Yeah. But the last ten years or so of his life, he was working

less and less, and

somebody had to pick up the pieces, so.

Yeah, I get that.

Are you still painting?

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah. I got a gallery coming up in about two months.

Mhm. Yeah.

That's fantastic.

Yeah. Thanks.

I actually just got a new spot down in Brooklyn too.

Yeah. I called your agency.

I was like asking where you were at and they said you left.

You know, after that whole nightmare, I just I just

switched it up.

I couldn't do it anymore.

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah.

You should let me make you dinner.

Yeah. What are you doing tomorrow?

Um, nothing.

I'm totally free.

Great. I should tell you, I'm

really not that pathetic, I promise.

No, not at all.

Here. Um, I.

Is your number still the same?

Oh, no, no, no.

Oh, give me your information.

All right.

Great.

How's, uh, five tomorrow?

Great. Yeah.

All right.

Awesome. Should I bring anything?

Nah, just bring yourself.

I think I can handle that.

All right.

It's good seeing you.

Good seeing you, too.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow.

All right, bye.

Hey.

What did you think?

I, uh, I blew it off, actually.

I, uh, I just ended up walking around the city instead.

Oh, I don't understand why you don't want to get out of that

big, empty house.

It's not healthy.

No, I mean, look,

the kids, you know, both of them just left within the last

week to go abroad.

I went from a full house to just me, you know.

Just let it,

just take some time.

You need to move on.

You know, you've done the grieving, played The Good Wife,

all of that.

It's just so much work to move, you know?

I mean, there's so much junk I

have to go through and packing and.

You know.

I think you have survivor guilt or something.

I don't know about that.

Listen, we've both tried to help my brother.

He just, you know, didn't want to be saved.

You know, when we first got together,

I realized he was older than me.

And he was probably going to eventually go before me.

But I just, in a million years, could have never imagined

how.

I think I'm still just processing it, you know?

I don't want to do anything too radical.

Having to hold yourself back from from.

Everything is so boring.

Why would you choose that?

I mean, you hid under a rock for ten years.

What do you want to do now?

I'm not holding myself back.

I got back into my writing, and

other than that, I just.

I just don't know what I want to do.

You know?

We'll find that out in your whole universe will open up.

Thanks.

I know what I want for you.

I want you to download one of those hookup apps like Tinder

or something.

What? I'm not a slut.

No. I'm kidding.

You know me.

I'm practically a virgin, and I'm in a relationship.

But you got to get out there if you want to find a man.

Seriously? I don't think I need a man.

Okay.

You're single.

Go do what chicks do who are single in the city.

But do be careful.

Wow. I was never expecting you

to say anything like any of this.

Get. Get out there.

Get your tits up your heart out and go play and have some fun.

Yeah, I,

could get into a little fun.

Listen, I gotta go.

Okay. Thanks for the pep talk, sweetie.

Okay. I love you.

Love you too.

Bye.

Ah,

thanks.

Yep.

Kids, home?

Yep.

Good day.

Mhm.

Are you okay?

I just wish you wanted to get better or something.

I know, I'm sorry.

I don't.

I'm so alone.

I know, and you shouldn't be.

If if this ever ends.

I don't want to be someone's

pretend wife or girlfriend ever again.

Oh, what a pretty garden.

I love City Gardens, don't you?

It's so nice.

It smells like sunflowers.

And, uh.

Let's move to New Jersey and have a garden.
