"We've got get out of here," Tyler said, looking up from his appetizers and seeing an oh too familiar painting hanging in the restaurant. In a moment, he knew all the angst and frustration Charlie felt about his ex. Brad quickly threw down some cash and chased after Tyler who was already out the door.

"Hey!" Brad called, grabbing onto him. "Is everything ok?"

"Yeah, just... a reminder. Of an ex."

"Oh."

"Sorry."

"It's cool. I got a reminder of one not too long ago."

"Oh yeah? Who was he... ?"

"She. Becka. I saw her last week at Traverna when I was waiting for you."

"You never said anything."

"It was awkward and so not worth it."

"Does that happen a lot? You running into exes?"

"Well... there's only the one."

"Becka? I thought you'd been with guys before."

"Yeah, just been with."

"Oh. So I'm the first... ?"

"Yeah. Does that scare you?"

"A little. I mean, you're only my third. I don't know, I just... have you ever wanted to date any other guys?"

"Not really. I met you. Life happened and now we're... "

"What? What exactly are we?"

Brad shrugged sheepishly. "I don't even know what I am yet. Can we just... "

"Yeah. It's cool. Whatever. No need to rush anything I guess."

"Hey," Brad said, giving him a quick kiss. "Does this scare you?"

"No," Tyler lied.
