Wait, five weeks?! Wasn’t Troy and Sarina’s combined parties five weeks ago? You saying our plan for you to win her back actually worked??

Patton Pierce

Something like that. We’re . . . still figuring it out.

Garrett Meyer

You guys hooked up and are having a baby together. Clearly, there are still feelings there. What’s there to figure out?

Patton Pierce

Honestly, I’m just trying not to fuck things up again. I want to show her I’ve changed and that she and the baby come first. Don’t want her to write me off before I’ve even had a real chance.

Dev Menon

She won’t. It’s obvious to everyone that she still has feelings for you.

Patton Pierce

Feelings were never our problem. But getting Nisha’s trust back for real? That’s like trying to move a brick wall by asking nicely.

Garrett Meyer

Not to pry, but if feelings were never the problem, what was?

Patton Pierce

In a nutshell? Me. I chased my career hard, always on the road. Nisha put up with it . . . until the night she miscarried for the second time. I wasn’t there. She went through all of it on her own. After that, she realized she didn’t want to keep living that way anymore. So, she left and never looked back.

We’ve been down this road before, and I’m terrified I’m going to screw it up again.

Darian Meyer

Shit, man. I’m sorry to hear about that.

Hudson Case

You won’t screw it up. This time will be different because you’ll be there every step of the way.

Dev Menon

Speaking of, I know you’re still filming the baseball movie, but with this news, does this mean you’re staying for good?

Patton Pierce

Fuck, yeah. If she’ll have me.

Troy Winters

She will. But I feel you, man. Sarina made me work for every inch of progress. If stubbornness were an Olympic sport, the Arora sisters would win medals.

Dean Meyer

And when you say “every inch,” how many are you referring to? Seven? Eight?

Hudson Case

Of course we couldn’t go a day without Dean inquiring about Troy’s dick.
