Nikolas: Down for a walk?
Emily: Sorry?
Nikolas: No, I was just -- I was just stating the obvious -- you're out on a walk.
Emily: Yep, yep. Very refreshing. Feels good.
Nikolas: Yeah, yeah. Well, enjoy yourself.
Emily: Yep. All right.
Nikolas: Okay.
Emily: God. This is ridiculous --
Nikolas: Yeah.
Emily: Isn't it?
Nikolas: Yeah, it is.
Emily: Yeah.
Nikolas: I was just thinking the same thing.
Emily: So, what do we do?
Nikolas: I guess we can try and stick to your plan, you know? Make sure we're never alone together.
Emily: Yep, when we're -- we're less than 24 hours in and it doesn't really seem to be working.
Nikolas: We need to find an alternative, except I really don't know what that is. I know I'll never stop loving you. And I can't stop wanting you, either.
Nikolas: You remember the first time we kissed?
Emily: Yeah, on the bluff.
Nikolas: No -- in the park in the snow.
Emily: Oh, my God! I -- what are you doing? I can't believe you're bringing that up.
Nikolas: You stuck your tongue down my throat --
Emily: Oh, shut up! I didn't -- what are you talking about? I did not.
Nikolas: Yes, you did. You left an indelible impression upon me.
Emily: Oh, my God. No -- you know -- oh. I wanted you to notice me and -- and I'd never -- I'd never kissed a boy before, and I don't know why, but I'd read a ton of romance novels and I just did what they described in -- oh, my God. It was awful, wasn't it?
Nikolas: No. It was very sweet.
Emily: Thank you. I feel just, I don't know, vaporized from humiliation now. Oh, my God.
Nikolas: You know, I was no more prepared for that kiss than I was for what happened last night. I went from just -- just wanting to comfort you to never wanting to let you go. We've always been honest with each other, em, so I'm not going to start lying to you now, okay? I -- I can keep my distance from you physically, I think, but I just can't walk out of your life.
Emily: You know what? I'd -- I'd almost -- almost forgotten that kiss. No -- yeah -- the other one. True, I mean, I've -- I've wanted to forget it, but I don't know. For a while, it -- it almost stopped mattering, you know, because there wasn't anything -- there wasn't anything physical between us, you know?
Nikolas: Mm-hmm.
Emily: We were just friends who loved each other. Think we can get back to that?
Nikolas: How?
Emily: Well, one step at a time. You know? You tell me to enjoy my walk, and I tell you to have a nice meeting. And then we turn and we walk away. No looking back.
Nikolas: Enjoy your walk.
Emily: Have a -- have a nice meeting.
