Kristian: I swear if he ever fucking touches you again-
Emily: He won't.
Ace: You don't know that Em. He shot you for crying out loud!
Emily: Bryce never laid a finger on me without my consent.
Kristian: You know who I'm talking about.
Emily: I know.

Lane walks into the kitchen and grabs a water bottle.

Lane: Did i interrupt something? Emily: No. I'm gonna be leaving with them. I'll be back later.
Lane: Okay.

Jayden walks in and grabs 2 water bottles and hands one to Kayden as he's walking into the kitchen.

Kristian pulls Emily into another hug and Emily giggles at him.

Ace: Weez bud.
Emily: He's okay.
Ace: You ready?
Emily: Yeah. I just have to get my shoes.
Kristian : I'll get another hug later.
Ace: How many do you need?
Emily: Its Kristian we are talking about.

Emily walks upstairs to the room she picked and sits on the edge of the bed. She bends over to grab her shoes and when she comes back up while Lane is standing in the doorway.

Emily: Hi.
Lane: Hi.

Emily starts putting her shoes on while Lane walks into the bedroom.

Emily: What's up.
Lane: Is this a good idea?
Emily: Is what a good idea?
Lane: Leaving.
Emily: I'm gonna be safe.
Lane: Okay.
Emily: I'll be back in a couple hours.
Lane: Okay.

Emily stands up and Lane pulls her into a hug.

Emily: You give good hugs.
Lane: Thanks.

They walk downstairs and Emily and the boys walk out of the Airbnb.

Ace: Are you still mad at me?
Emily: No.
Ace: I'm sorry.

Emily stops and makes Ace look at her.

Emily: Ace its okay. You weren't entirely wrong.
Ace: I really wanna kiss you.
Kristian: Ha!
Emily: Save that for another time.
Kristian: Rejected!
Emily: Shut up you've been rejected too.
Ace: Ha!

They call a cab and go to the boy's hotel. Once they are checked in Emily goes to the bathroom and when she comes out Ace is gone.

Emily: Where's Ace?
Kristian: Went back down to the front desk.

Kristian opens his arms and Emily   Runs to him.

Emily: I don't know if I can make it when you guys leave.
Kristian: You'll do fine. We are only a couple of states over.
Emily: Only a couple of states.

Ace comes back up with another key and hands it to Emily.

Emily: Thank you.
Ace: Welcome.

Emily hugs Ace and he loosens up.

Emily: why are you so tense?
Ace: Maybe what I said last night wasn't for you.
Kristian: Oh here we go.
Emily: I'm not asking for an explanation.
Kristian: What happens in Nashville stays in Nashville.
Emily: If only that was true.
Ace: It can be.
Emily: Okay. Moving on what do you guys want to do? We aren't doing anything until tomorrow.
Ace: Wanna go get ice cream?
Emily: Yes!

They all go and get ice cream then head back over to Emily's Airbnb.

Ace: We will see you later.
Emily: Okay.

Emily hugs them and she goes inside while they leave.

Lane: That was quick.
Emily: They have to settle in. Where is everyone?
Lane: Kayden and Jayden went to the airport to get Rocky. Chreesh is upstairs live on Tiktok.
