Yeah. He kind of admitted to being a dick about all of it and said he wanted to start over as civil co-parents to Reese. We finally decided to put everything behind and boom! Plans went down the drain. And here we are pretending to be one big happy family.

That ship has sailed Yass. I thought about my dream last night.

You’re keeping something from me. I just know it. C’mon, spill. What is it?

Weird dreams. Like really weird stuff. See, it’s all so random. Sometimes I’d be hanging out with Paulo in the editing room, or back in the beach with him and the kids…ganon…then last night, I dreamt about marrying him.

What’s weird about that? Siguro napapanaginipan mo sya palagi kasi you always talk diba? Like before you go to sleep. You talk about your day, ganyan. And you make plans with him…I mean, you do make plans with him right?

Yeah. Yeah. But it’s not that… I chewed on my lip.

No, no. Patapusin mo muna ako. She raises her hands in surrender. It’s James.
