Episode 15
David Bennett (ML dad)
come sit here,jace
Jace Bennett (ML)
why the hell dad it is too early for this
David Bennett (ML dad)
Watch your tone, Jace
Jace Bennett (ML)
(frustrating voice) Marriage? And no one thought to tell me that we are going to discuss this?
David Bennett (ML dad)
We wanted to discuss it first. No need to be so aggressive, Jace.
Jace Bennett (ML)
[Grits teeth, glances at Evelyn, who’s looking at the floor, fidgeting with her bracelet] And when is this happening?
Michael Carter (FL dad)
In two days
Jace Bennett (ML)
(laughs dryly) Two. Days. Wow. Great
David Bennett (ML dad)
You and Evelyn should talk privately.
(Door closes. Silence. Evelyn shifts uncomfortably, while he leans against the desk, arms crossed.)
Jace Bennett (ML)
Let’s be clear. I didn’t ask for this.
Evelyn Carter (FL older sis)
(softly) Neither did I.
(A long pause. She doesn’t look up. He watches her.)
Jace Bennett (ML)
Then let’s make this simple. After marriage, I expect you to stay home—no working, no unnecessary drama.
Evelyn Carter (FL older sis)
(shocked, finally looking at him) Excuse me?
Jace Bennett (ML)
You heard me. (crosses arms tighter)
Evelyn Carter (FL older sis)
(quiet but firm) I work because I want to. Not because I have to.
Jace Bennett (ML)
(smirks) Then rethink that.
(She clenches her fists. He watches)
Jace in his room, calling Ryan 📱
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
(picking up, groggy) You better have a damn good reason for waking me up. 📱
Jace Bennett (ML)
I’m getting married in two days. 📱
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
(fully awake now)
…What. 📱
Jace Bennett (ML)
(deadpan) Yeah.
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
(bursts out laughing) HAHAHAHAHA—wait. You? Married? HA! This is gold. 📱
Jace Bennett (ML)
(groaning) This isn’t funny. 📱
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
It’s hilarious. Oh god, imagine your wedding vows—
Jace Bennett (ML)
I hate you.
Ryan Cooper (ML bff)
Love you too, man. I am coming tomorrow itself
Elena Carter (FL)
(typing, muttering) Ugh, so much work…
Sophia Mitchell (FL bff)
You’re not going?
Elena Carter (FL)
Well our sweet boss gave me a ton of work
Sophia Mitchell (FL bff)
(sighs): Sucks to be you.
Elena Carter (FL)
(rolling eyes) Yeah, tell me about it.
