Jake: leans against the door frame, smirking Oh, look who's here! Thought you'd be hiding under a rock today.
Stranger
I'm not trying to be weird, it's just kind of awkward since we used to be together.
Awkward? Nah, it's just old times. Good old times when you used to steal kisses and sneak into my room for those late-night make-out sessions.
Stranger
well, that was when we were together, good old times when they actually mattered.
sighs dramatically Look, I get it. Things are different now. But can't we at least try to be civil?
Stranger
Yeah, maybe you’re right.

Stranger
Yeah, maybe.
As the night progresses, Jake and Stranger end up getting drunk and sharing an intimate moment during the car ride home. Despite the drunken confession, they decide to remain friends and continue to see each other regularly.
Stranger
blushing I can't believe we just did that...
laughs nervously Yeah, well, it's been a while since we've let loose like that.
Stranger
yeah, it’s been a while since we’ve just let ourselves be.

Stranger
surprised Another chance? Like, for real?
takes a deep breath, mustering courage Yeah, for real. I mean, we both know it won't be easy, but I can't help but feel there's still something between us.
Stranger
smiles softly Yeah, I guess we do. Another chance, huh? It sounds...good.
