“Dammit!” Rhys yells, standing on the edge of the roof.

“Don’t jump,” giggles Chloe.

“Jump!” deadpans Cindy.

Chloe slaps Cindy on the arm. “Rude.”

“So you guys never get tired of these jumping off the roof jokes, huh?” Rhys says, walking toward their apartment from the stairs.

Chloe shrugs. “I’m just teasing you.”

“I’m not,” says Cindy, walking past him to the stairs. She has Newman with her on a leash.

“So what’s wrong?” Chloe asks.

“I have an interview, but I didn’t realize it was so far away and I didn’t think to ask Erick if I could have the truck tonight.”

“It is kind of dicky of him that he always gets the truck,” Cindy says from below.

Chloe rolls her eyes. “Maybe we can take you,” she says. “Where’s it at?”

Rhys hands her the paper with the address.

“Ooh, this place is nice.” She runs down the stairs to Cindy and Newman. “Want to go to Putóg tonight?”

“Can you get in there without a reservation?” Cindy asks as Rhys comes down the stairs.

“We can try,” Chloe says with a shrug. “And then we can drive our dear friend Rhys to his interview.”

“I’d rather have McDonalds.”

Chloe stares at Cindy.

“Fine,” Cindy says, giving in. “But I’m only doing this because you got fired this morning.”

“You got fired?” Chloe says with too much surprise in her voice.

“Yeah,” Rhys smiles. “But clearly Cindy already told you that.”

“I also told her that you accused Jared of raping you.”

Chloe glares at her and Rhys looks at her with a hurt expression.

“Shit. Sorry,” Cindy says. “Really, I am. Sometimes I try to be funny by making rude remarks; most of the time it backfires. Come on Newman,” she pulls on the leash to take Newman back to the apartment.

“That’s what Cindy wants to do,” Chloe says once Cindy is upstairs. “She wants to be a comedienne.”

“She needs to work on her jokes,” Rhys says with hurt on his face.

“I said sorry,” she says as she walks back down the stairs. “And why did you tell him I want to be a comic?”

“Because you do,” Chloe says as she unlocks the car door and gets in the driver’s seat.

Cindy gets in the passenger side and Rhys sits behind Chloe. “Hey,” he says, tapping Cindy’s shoulder. “I want to be an actor! Maybe we should team up and do a YouTube show or something!”

“And that’s why I didn’t want him to know,” she says to Chloe.
