Ugly Love

Tate is moving out to an apartment a few blocks down, but she hasn’t told Miles yet. She’s afraid their arrangement will be too inconvenient for him when she’s no longer living across the hall. Miles knocks and enters Corbin’s apartment. Corbin is cooking dinner, and Miles kisses Tate in front of him.

Miles takes Tate to his apartment and tells her he hasn’t been in his apartment since he landed—he wanted to see her first. Tate teases him that he missed her. Miles puts up his defenses, and Tate directly asks him if he missed her. His emotionless reaction crushes her. She wants an answer from him, and Miles orders her to go home. She curses at him and moves to leave, but Miles stops her. He argues that he’s been clear about his intentions from the start, but Tate feels he has been sending mixed signals. Miles feels guilty for what he’s doing to Tate and cries like he did the night they first met. Tate doesn’t press him for answers because she’s afraid to know what’s making him cry.
