"Hey" Jude said.

"Are you okay?" Connor asked. "You've been acting a bit weird lately."

Connor rubbed his shoulders.

"It's just Alex" Jude said. "He's up to something. I can feel it."

"He can't hurt us anymore" Connor said. "Okay? Don't worry. You and me are okay."

Jude smiled and they kissed.

"I have to get to the gym" Connor said. "I'll check in later. Love you."

"Love you too" Jude called out to him.

Taylor then entered and handed Jude some papers.

"One of my students got sick" Taylor said. "And she asked me to give these to you."

"Thanks" Jude said.

Taylor nodded and headed to the door.

"It kinda sucks that you hate me" Jude said. "I miss hanging with you. Do you hate me because you want too or because that's what your wife wants?"

"I'm just not sure if I can trust you" Taylor said. "You have to regain my trust this time."

Jude nodded. Jude smiled. Taylor smiled back.

"See you later" Taylor said.


Leo and Craig had lunch with Jake.

"He keeps trying to get me to forgive him" Jake said. "I mean he's my best friend and I love him but I'm not going to pretend I'm okay with him and Jude being together. Because I'm not."

"Yeah" Leo said. "I know what you mean."

"Well" Craig said. "They are divorced. So I think nothings wrong with them seeing each other."

Leo rolled his eyes.

"Poor Alex" Leo said. "He has to go through all of this alone."

"You act like Alex can't take care of himself" Craig replied. "I think he's strong enough to handle his own life."

"Well Daria thinks he's getting worse" Jake said.

"I still don't think his drinking is a huge issue" Craig said. "I think he's just trying to find himself. I mean there was a time in my life where people thought I was self destructing. And look how I turned out. Perfect husband. And perfect child."

Leo smiled and kissed Craig.
