How could I have had no Clue?

He was a sneaky rat, That's why.

So what am I supposed to do?

Just assume that every guy

I meet is lying to me?

Not every guy,

Just most of them.

You just gotta wait till

The right one comes along.

Trust me, you'll meet

Someone much better.

Maybe She already has.

"Limo guy" Sounds interesting.

Honey, that...

That's a terrible idea.

She's just been

Through a big break-up,

A public break-up.

She should just Take her time.

No! No way.

Sophie needs to get

Right back out there

And start dating.

- No, she doesn't.

- Yes, she does.

Okay. Will you two stop?

I will be fine.

I would've preferred Not to have

The whole world read

About my love life

On practically every

Gossip website, but...

That's what you get When

you date a famous Person.

I promise you, though,

I'm totally fine.

"Totally fine"?

Well...

I'm getting there.

It's only been a few days.

I'm really starting

To get into it, though,

Get that old

"Gabriel august" engine

Revved up And racing again.

So it's going well?

Absolutely. Portland

Was a great idea.

Good.

I was starting

To worry about you.

You haven't written a thing,

Have you?

Why do you think that?

Because you sound

Way too relaxed.

Maybe you should

Shake things up a little,

Go out with friends,

Or on a date or something.

Well,

I did meet a nice Woman On the plane.

Perfect!

Call her up.

I don't know her last name,

And I have no idea

Where to find her.

Can't ever just do anything

The easy way, can you?

Oh!

I changed

The Gabriel august reveal

To jasper's bookloft

Out there in Portland,

So you won't have to fly

Back to new York for it.

So this is really happening?

It'll be Liam and Jackie,

Just like always.

But I'll be the one up there

In front of all those People.

I know It's gonna be hard

For you to let go of

This Gabriel august Mystique,

But you can't keep

Leading two lives like this.

This is a good thing.

Have I ever steered

You wrong before?

Is that a trick question?

I'll call you

When I get out there,

And you can show me

Your town, Mr. Portland.

Is it a date?

Yeah. It's a date.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Well,

As you've probably guessed,

We got our new numbers back,

And they're not pretty.

Circulation is down 23% From

the same time last Year.

So, going forward,

I have it from on high

That we need to spice things Up.

I need your pieces

To jump off the page.

Get noticed.

If you want to do

A feel-good fluff piece

On a pee-wee baseball team,

Scrap it and find out

When the trail blazers

Are firing their coach.

They want us to make noise,

Get retweeted or facebooked,

Or whatever The kids

are doing these Days.
