"You have no idea what personal space is and it's very distracting when your face is two inches away from mine," Lili said, barely lifting her eyes from her script, "What if I turn my head and accidentally kiss you?"

"Fine by me." Cole said, twirling the piece of hair that constantly falls from his face.

Lili laughed and quickly pecked his lips.

"That's it?" he whined.

"Yes, Cole," she said, suddenly with more anger in her voice, "I really need to focus!"

He sighed and crossed his arms across his chest, still teasing his overly annoyed girlfriend.

"For fuck sakes, Cole!" she said loudly, "Are you thirteen?"

"Sorry." he mumbled, standing up to walk away from the situation. He hated fighting.

"I'm sorry." Lili said softly, immediately regretting the tone she'd used with him. She stood from her chair and tossed her script onto it.

"I'm just so stressed." she whispered, tears filling her eyes. She tried her best to stop them from coming, but her cheeks were beginning to flood.

"Come here." Cole said softly, offering her into his comforting arms.

"This episode is just taking a really big toll on me. I can't get these lines memorized. I can't do the acting right." she continued, sobbing in her boyfriend's arms.

"It's okay," he said softly, "Everything's okay. I'm here."

Lili continued cry, trying so hard to stop. She knew everyone was staring. She knew she was making a fool of herself. But she couldn't help it.

"Hear my heartbeat?" Cole asked, stroking her hair, "Just focus on that."

Lili began to calm down, suddenly feeling overcome with relaxation and peace.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you." she said, removing her head from his chest.

"If it makes you feel any better, you looked hot while doing it," he laughed, wiping the tears from her cheeks, "You okay?"

"Thanks to you." she said, still in his arms.

"I love you." Lili continued before giving him the kiss he'd begged for minutes before.

"I love you more."
