[ Sera's cellphone vibrates ]
Hallo?
Hey there
Uh... Hey
- How are you? - Great. And you?
Great
I got your number from Jeri. Hope that's okay?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, no, that's... totally okay!
Umm... I've been meaning to call you.
I know. I'm just impatient, I guess.
So... How about that lunch?
- Today? - Yeah. I know it's last minute but I just really need to get off from work for a bit.
Hmmm. You know Tango Palace?
Yeah, I know it.
Uh... Great. Meet there, say... 2 o'clock?
Hmmm... Yeah! Great!
Awesome! See you soon...
Ugh ...
- Hey - Hey - Thanks for coming.
Oh, of course! We girls got to eat.
And I see YOU have decided what that's going to be.
Friendship is about trust, right? Do you trust me?
- Yes - Good because you're about to have the best "London Fog" in Toronto.
And a particularly spectacular sandwich. A "roast brief" sandwich super size.
- A "roast brief", hey? - Trust - Okay, yeah, yeah.
I didn't take you for the demandee type. Come here, eat this, trust-trust.
So you don't like the "uncontrolled, knows-what's-best, and simply-wants-to-share-the-best-in-life" type.
That is exactly my type.
[Sera's cellphone vibrates] I have to take this! Sorry!
Hi! No, no, no. It's not a bad time. I'm just ...
having lunch with a... friend.
Tonight?
Yeah... I'm...
No, no! No, no, it's fine. It's great.
Yeah, I can't wait to see you too.
Okay.
Yep! ... great!
Me too...
Bye!
- Everything okay? - hm, hm. Yeah.
It's just a friend. It's fine.
Well, more than a friend.
Was more than a friend, now just a friend.
More than a friend...
- And you're seeing her again? - No! no, no, no, no. Seeing her, no!
Uh... she is just coming back into town. And we haven't been together for...
- You mean: seeing her, not SEEING HER. - Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. I'm seeing her tonight.
How do you feel about that?
Hum... How I usually feel? It's fine!
Yeah. I love her.
I love her so much. We were together for... a couple of years.
Now it just didn't work out. Wasn't going where either of us wanted.
So we broke it up. And now we're friends. Best friends!
- Any benefits with that? - No... NO!
No. That would not be good for anyone.
It wasn't right between us. We worked on a lot of levels but...
It just wasn't right.
So... why stay friends if there's so much history between you?
She really is my best friend despite it all.
You know, she understands me and she accepts me. And...
She's family.
And you don't walk away from family just because it's... hard sometimes.
Does that make sense?
Yeah... Yeah, that makes sense.
You are an incredibly open person, you know that, Sera?
It's nice! It's refreshing!
- To new and lovely friends. - Cheers.
