Sophie gets out of her car with Pete and closes the car doors.

She walks up to the apartment door and hesitantly knocks.

She waits for 10 seconds and then the door opens.

"Hey Sophie." Says Rhett.

"Um, can I talk to you for a bit?" Asks Sophie.

"Sure." Says Rhett. "Come in."

Sophie walks inside. Rhett closes the door behind her.

"I wanted to tell you that-" Sophie gets interrupted when Rhett's lips press into hers immediately.

Sophie grabs Rhett's shirt and stands on her tip toes. She kisses him and then pulls away slowly.

She holds on to his shirt and looks up at him.

"I... I like you okay." Says Rhett blushing.

Sophie pulls him over to the couch.

Rhett sits down on it and Sophie lays down with her head on his lap.

Sophie runs her fingers through Rhett's silky hair and looks into his blue-green eyes.

"Sophie... Will you be my girlfrien-"

She sits up.

"Wait, wait, wait. Listen to this song. This is how I feel." Says Sophie turning on 'Mr. Almost' by Meghan Trainor.

The song finishes.

"Alright then. Now I'll sing how I feel." Says Rhett.

He grabs his guitar and plays 'Won't Go Home Without You' by Maroon 5. He starts to sing with a perfect voice.

"I asked her to stay but she wouldn't listen
She left before I had the chance to say
Oh
The words that would mend the things that were broken
But now it's far too late, she's gone away

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking: "Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?"
Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you!

The taste of your breath, I'll never get over
The noises that she made kept me awake
Oh
The weight of things that remained unspoken
Built up so much it crushed us everyday

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking: "Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?"
Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

Of all the things I felt but never really shown
Perhaps the worst is that I ever let you go
I should not ever let you go, oh oh oh

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I may not make it through the night
I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you
And I won't go home without you..."

Sophie blushes.

"Okay. You wanna know my true feelings?" Asks Sophie.

"I'd like that." Says Rhett before winking.
