Good.

[He knows it won't be an easy road - mindsets like those are hard to break, especially when other people have been compelling them onto you.]

I'm glad to hear it.

[He doesn't want a soldier, he wants a partner, though that's a future conversation.]

Thanks for the olive branch. Good band, too. Good bar. I - like Washington. ( He looks over. ) And I like you.

I like you too.

[But because boundaries are important.]

But I was serious when I said I wanted to take things slow. Call me old fashioned, but I like to take my time when I'm getting to know someone.

I'm a patient man.

( He smiles. )

And, look, I - I'm staying at my friend's boyfriend's family's, so I have a lot to figure out. And if you're - involved and you want to do this again, I'd do it.

[Wes nods as they continue to head towards the door and smiles.]

Yeah. I have many more cover bands for New Jersey based cover bands to show you.

[He's kidding.

Or is he?]


We'll do this again.

You have my number.

( He lingers outside, gives him one last hint of a smile before he takes off in the opposite direction, pulling up his rideshare app. )
