Nessie : Coming!! -opens door-
Celeste : Hey! We have a lot to catch up on.
Nessie : .....Come in.
Celeste : Thanks! -walks in-
Nessie : Coffee?
Celeste : Please

Nessie
I know how she likes her coffee so I made it for her.

I took it to her and sat on the the couch right across from her.

Nessie : What's up?
Celeste : I heard what happened.
Nessie : Nathan told you?
Celeste : He tells me everything.
Nessie : Of course...
Celeste : Nes I'm not mad...
Nessie : You're not?
Celeste : No. I see he understands this whole situation.
Nessie : I do feel bad though...
Celeste : Oh I know I've been in that situation before.
Nessie : Really?
Celeste : Remember my situation with Devin? I slept with him on a drunk night. He used to have feelings for me but I liked Ezra.
Nessie : Oh yeah huh?
Celeste : He's leaving.
Nessie : Who?
Celeste : Nathan
Nessie : What?
Celeste : Let him be. He needs time away from everything.
Nessie : I guess...
Celeste : Now tell me about your man.
Nessie : He's not really my man yet but his name's Jordan. I love being with him! He makes me feel...special. I like the feeling.
Celeste : Go for it!
Nessie : Yeah we're seeing each other. We'll see how it goes. 
Celeste : I'm happy for you!
Nessie : Thank you!

Jordan : How is she?
Mrs Ross : Not much progress.
Jordan : ...
Mrs Ross : You're here because you care?
Jordan : Mom, I've known her for twenty years. We were together for fifteen. I care! Not being in love with her anymore is a different thing.
Mrs Ross : Let's go check on her.

Caleb : Hey Miami is great!
Nathan : Yeah it's a nice city to get distracted.
Caleb : What's the real reason you're leaving?
Nathan : I don't want to say..
Caleb : Bro we're friends.
Nathan : I know it's just.....have you ever fallen in love with someone who isn't for you?
Caleb : Not exactly.
Nathan : Well I did.
Caleb : Nessie?
Nathan : Mhm
Caleb : Do what you did to get over Anne Marie.
