coffee. - Yes.
- Also, I feel like you could probably use the extra energy considering you're going
to be doing a lot of research about- what was it- - base jumping? Was it?
- Mhm. - Yeah. Don't worry, you won't get hurt.

Bailey. I hear you've taken quite a tumble. - Yeah... - Rock climbing, yeah that explains it. You seem like you've have better days, taken quite the fall. - Yeah, I was wearing a helmet though. My arm is what really hurts. - It's a good thing your friend brought
you in when he did. - Yeah, only after he spent an hour
collecting his equipment and chatting with his
'bros'. - Ah!
- But, hey, at least he was first aid certified,
right? I owe this- to those skills. - Well, let's remove whatever 'this' is, cause it's not doing anything, and we'll check out your arm. - Mmm
- Yeah. - We don't have to amputate it which is
good- maybe... we'll see. [ LAUGHS ] [ OVERCOM ] [ DR. BAILEY ] Ms. Paige, what are you
still doing here? - Oh, I'm just waiting for my ride. - I examined you quite a while ago. - Yeah, well, I didn't realize my phone was in my pocket when I fell, so it took a much harder hit than my arm. - Well, still you shouldn't be alone. Those painkillers are no joke. - Oh, uh, no, my friends coming. I texted him and they responded, I think. But I'll be fine. - Still I think I'll wait here with you. - No, really, you don't have to worry
about me. - Oh it's no problem. I was just on my way home. It's no trouble. - Oh. Thanks. - So... rock climbing, huh? Is that a
hobby? - No, and definitely will never be! It was a first date. And, coincidentally,
a last. - It's memorable. - Yeah. I mean it was fun to try something new, I guess, but maybe next time not something
so... - Like a trust fall, with a stranger? - Yeah, from fifteen feet in the air! I think he just forgot I was even there. - What a real... dud. - Yup. - Well, if you like trying new things, and certainly less risky, maybe you'd be interested in cooking dinner with me at my place? I don't mean to brag, but I can make a
mean taco! - Oh! Um... - You're not going to say you're a
professional chef or something, right? - No, no, definitely not. Um, I've just never been asked out by my
doctor before. - Oh, I didn't mean to make you
uncomfortable. I- - Do you think I could eat tacos with one
hand? - I think you have a pretty good chance at
doing that, yeah. - Alright, sounds nice. - Okay. Let me give you my number. - Mmm... - Second thought, could I have your
number? - Yeah, I'll put it in just so you know
it's real. - So, what do I call you? Doctor Bailey?

fracture? But my whole side is one giant bruise. Oh- and I have a mild concussion. - Geez! I- I mean did he push you off the
cliff? Like what happened? - No, no... he was just careless. - Well, I'd say that's a little bit more
than just careless... - I should have known better. Ugh... oh, and I decided that vigorous
sports are not really my thing. But thanks for coming to get me. - Oh absolutely!
- My phone is, like, super smashed and I didn't even know who I was texting. I know it's your day off so... - Oh, no, no, please don't worry about it,
I got your back. It's an okay reason to text. Actually I am, um, uh... I broke my arm one time.

a journal but I didn't really do anything with it

everything and, you know, whenever they'd scream at each
other I- I just started writing. So I pulled out the old journal and... at first I was writing about my
frustrations and then eventually I started writing
about other worlds to help see mine more
clearly. - That's awesome. I'm sorry about your parents, that's... tough.

really close because of it. - Hm.

- Oh, no. No, not for years. There was a lot of bad blood between him
and my mom. So-- yeah... - I'm sorry to hear that. - It's fine. What about you? What about your family? - We were close growing up. My brother and my parents and... I love my dad. I wanted to be just like him, actually. I ended up working at the exact same bank
that he worked at. - Wow.

like-- recover from. You know? It was really hard because I didn't feel like I was just losing someone that I loved, you know, I was losing my best friend. - Yeah. Gosh Liam, I'm sorry. Their loss. - Yeah. - Yeah, it sucked, but-- it was interesting, because after the
initial kind of scar healed and, uh, resentment kind of went away, I started remembering the good stuff, too. You know, I started to retain the positive
things from our relationship-- and not this person I painted her to be in my head. She was actually the one that-- kind of pushed me to quit my job at the
bank. She knew how miserable I was there. She was all like, 'pursue your passions, you got to pursue your passions!'. She was really big on that. So-- if she hadn't done that I wouldn't be spending my days in coffee shops doing
what I love, and-- I wouldn't have met you... And gone on this incredibly picturesque
hike! I know how to pick a spot. - You do! You do!
- It's pretty good. Good choice. - My dad always said that real love was liking who you were the most around that other person. So yeah, by his definition, I absolutely believe in love. We should probably get going. - Mm [ LIAM ] Echanté. [ LIAM ] Here we are! - Wow!
- Yeah. - Fifteen minute hike and you can't even
see the city anymore. - That's cool, right? - Yeah.
- It really is crazy to think that just
beyond that mountain all this nature is a city. Right? With a hundred-thousand dudes who all want to date you so bad. - They want to contribute to the article! They're trying to do the right thing. - Lucky me!
- Lucky you. [ LAUGHS ] - Talk about your dad a lot. Are you guys still close? - He uh- he passed away a couple years
ago. - Liam, I'm so sorry. - You're good. You didn't know. You're
fine. Yeah... I do miss him. He was everything that I want to be as a
man, you know? He was compassionate, he was
kind, loved his kids, you know? His co-workers all liked him, he was good
at his job. I think the thing that kind of sticks with
me the most is-- how much he loved my mom. He was uh, really clear on that, making her a priority, and-- yeah...she meant the world to him. - Well, he sounds wonderful. Just like you! ♪ GENTLE MUSIC SWELLS ♪ ♪ ♪ [ CAR TURNS OFF ] [ CHARLOTTE ] Uh, thanks so much for taking all this time to show me around. - Oh yeah, yeah.
- Yeah. - Absolutely.
- It's finally starting to feel like home. And I know you work a lot so thanks. - Yeah, yeah, for sure. No it's actually been super fun, to kind of show somebody else, you know, all this for the first time. It makes it new for me, you know? I appreciate it more.
- Yeah. It's nice to see it from your perspective. - Yeah. - Uh, anyway, um, I'll see you. - I'll see you, yeah. Uh, Charlotte, umm... Would you- um- uh... Would you want to go on a date with me
next? - Uh... Mmm.... Oh, you mean you want me to eviscerate you in one of my articles? [ NERVOUS LAUGHTER ] - No, no, I, I mean, like, genuinely, would you want to go- do you want to go on a date with me? - Uh.... - Like a real date? - I don't think that's a good idea. - Why not? I mean, look, we're spending all this time with each other as it is and it's like... I don't know. If there are real feelings here, - I think it's not bad that-
- I mean, how could you have feelings for me? You hardly know me. - Yeah, no, um, I just- Yeah, uh fair. I'd like to get to know you more. Like, I get- I look forward to the next time I'm going to see you. And I want to see you tomorrow and the next day and, like, just... I'm saying a lot, uh... Look, I say that because I mean it. It's what I feel. - I can't. - Look, I know that your parents didn't have the best
situation, and I cannot even begin to imagine what you've been through. Like, I'm not going to pretend like I can. I can't. But I don't think we should say no to the
chance of something good just because something
bad- - might happen. You know, like-
- But, but, the chance of what? - For us just to, like, spend all this
time dating just to find out we were better off as
friends? Or, I don't know, until one of us get's
bored? - I, I think, I think you're thinking
ahead a little too much. - Am I?
- Yeah! Yes! - What about your last girlfriend? What about my parents? You know, they just got sick of each
other. What about your parents? Your dad is gone and now your mom is all
alone. I mean, how can you guarantee something
like that won't happen to us? - I can't. I can't, you're right. I can't guarantee that nothing-- bad will happen. But, like, I don't think anyone should
completely shut down on the idea of love just because life also happens. And for me the risk is worth it. - I've never needed a romantic
relationship. And, frankly, I'm, I'm fine with the way
things are. - Yeah, no.Yeah, yeah...
- That's just the way it is. - So... um, see you. - Yeah. 'Kay.

Almost-Right'. - Oh, okay, um, I guess I can revise it and, uh, try to get something to the editors on
time? - I mean he seems pretty right to me? Is there something you want to talk about? - Uh, the guy, uh, Jimmy, that this article is supposed to be about, I don't know, as I was writing it kind of started-- turning out to be about someone else. - Can I suggest, after reading this, that you reevaluate your outlook on love? Look, you work for one of the premier relationship sites on the internet. And we do, as an official stance, accept that there are the proverbial prince charming's out there. But after your spree of dud dates that
you've written about, this one-- this article-- it makes you sound extremely pessimistic. Look, I think that it's best that we
postpone the Mr. Right article for the week... give you some time. Is that okay? - Yeah...yeah. [ LILA ] Charlotte. Char. Hellooooo? ( Mimics Radio ) This is Earth to
Charlotte, can you read me? Over. [ CHAIR ROLLS ] Are you okay? Are- are you still mad about the fight? I'm sorry. I do this thing where I try to
help people and instead I just end up pushing them
away. And I don't want to push you away, you're my best friend. - You're my best friend, too. And I probably needed to hear what you had
to say even though I didn't like it... Oh, you were right! - I know... about what? - Liam. He asked me out the other night. - Stop! Oh my gosh, no wait, this is
perfect! - No- no!
- Mr. Coffee! - This is not going to happen.
- What? - So stop.
- 'K, why not? Because going out with those guys was
work. Going out with Liam would be... not work. Oh my gosh, you have feelings for him! - No, no!
- Oh no, this is perfect, - because he has feelings for you too.
- No, - he has from day one
- but I don't- - It's been so obvious. - I don't want him to have feelings for
me! Okay? Because then I'd lose a friend and a
coffee shop, and I'd have to see him every day. It's just weird! I came to the city for this job. - So it'd just be a horribly bad,
terrible, terrible idea. - Okay, look, I know you just literally got done being mad at me, but hear me out- it kind of sounds like you're just afraid of getting hurt. Which is totally okay. It's normal. If you don't let yourself fall for
someone, then yeah, you're not going to get hurt. But then you also miss out on one of the greatest parts of life. - Yeah but how do you know it's worth it? - You don't, I mean, that's the whole point. You got to take a risk, Char. But, I mean, hey, worst case scenario, let's say it all goes south, you'll have your best friend there to
bring you soup and to stay with you until it gets better. [ CHARLOTTE SNIFFLES ] I think you should talk to him. Not like that! I just... I don't want to lose our coffee discounts! - I did kind of snap at him. [ ELEVATOR DOOR OPENS ] [ DOOR CHIMES ] [ LILA ] Hey Sarah. Is it just you today? - Yeah, Liam's working at a different
location. - Oh... - You ladies want the usual? - Oh, uh, not today. Thanks.
- Thanks. [ DOOR CHIMES ] [ LIAM ] What was that about? - I told them you weren't here today. - Really? Why? - You know, it's part of the girl code. Protect your friend from the jerk who blew
them off. - You are aware I'm not a woman, right? - Close enough. - Man, I really thought, I really thought there was something
genuine there. I guess my intuition is not as good as I
thought. - What did she say? - She said she was afraid that I'd ruin
it, which I guess I kind of did. - Okay look, I'm going to give you some advice and then you can give me that raise that I've been asking about. - Please. - So the way I see it you have two
options: either move on or just be her friend. If you keep trying to be her friend but you're always hoping for more you're just
going to end up hurting yourself. Or her. - Yeah. Yeah... I think you're right. - Now, about my raise. Buy yourself something nice. [ CRICKETS CHIRP ] [ LIGHT SWITCH ] ♪ EMOTIONAL MUSIC PLAYS ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ MUSIC SWELLS ♪ [ SNIFFLES ] ♪ ♪ ♪ MUSIC FADES ♪ ♪ HOPEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ♪ [ DOOR KNOCK ] - Hey.
