I Used to Be Darker Page #3

Synopsis: When Taryn, a Northern Irish runaway, finds herself in trouble in Ocean City, MD, she seeks refuge with her aunt and uncle in Baltimore. But Kim and Bill have problems of their own: they're trying to handle the end of their marriage gracefully for the sake of their daughter Abby, just home from her first year of college. A story of family revelations, people finding each other and letting each other go, looking for love where they've found it before and, when that doesn't work, figuring out where they might find it next.

invite you over?

Wine?

- I won't say no to the pope.

Get in.

I don't have

my suit on.

Unlike you, I don't

swim in all my clothes.

So take your dress off

and swim in your

underwear, stupid.

Are you really going to

date women next year?

Maybe.

Sam's gay, you know.

I think we all

knew that.

He's a flight attendant.

My parents try their

best not to know.

Helps he's never around.

Well, I imagine it's a little

easier for him in London

than Ballymena.

Unless you're into cruising

the car park opposite

the Auto Choice.

Why don't you

move to London?

Or Paris?

You have a dual passport

and Sam.

You can go anywhere.

That's such an American

thing to say.

You can go anywhere.

You're smart.

I'm not smart.

Gotta stow that sh*t,

sailor.

Seriously, you can do

anything you want.

I can't.

I'm stupid.

My friends are stupid.

All we do is drink

and fool around.

That's all

anybody does.

We're drinking now.

I'm f***ed, Abby.

Come on,

small hands.

You're not f***ed.

You're gonna

be great.

Don't wanna

f*** you anymore

Don't forgive

Do not forget

Can we try to

chat my brother?

Isn't it like

6:
00 a.m. there?

He's a party boy.

He's still up

if he's around.

Sure.

See, I told you,

he's on.

Taryn?

Hang on,

the video isn't up.

Hi, Sam.

How are you, love?

- Hi, Sam.

Who's that?

Abby.

Cousin Abby.

Hold on,

where are you?

Baltimore.

What the f*** are you

doing in Baltimore?

Do Mom and Dad know?

No.

Jesus f***ing Christ,

Taryn.

What's

the matter with you?

What?

You haven't told

them where you are?

No, I haven't

talked to them.

What happened to Wales?

I didn't go to

Wales, Sam.

Obviously you didn't

go to f***ing Wales.

What are you doing

in Baltimore?

I was working

at the seashore.

Now I'm visiting

Bill and Abby.

What about Kim?

Don't ask.

Hmm.

Listen, I can't

believe you sometimes.

You gotta be responsible.

Jesus, why are you

yelling at me?

I just called because I missed you.

- I'm just worried.

I don't mean to be

yelling and angry,

but seriously you can't

just go over 3,000 miles

across the world and not

tell your family.

It's not on.

Can I talk to

Abby for a second?

Hi.

Hi.

God, it's been years,

you're a proper woman.

I can't believe it's

the same person.

Listen, do me a favor.

Make her call

Mom and Dad,

just to let them

know she's safe.

Please.

I'll do my best.

All right.

Have a great time

and I'll talk to you soon, Abby, okay?

- Okay.

Bye, Sam.

- Take care of yourself, bye.

Taryn.

What?

I love you, sweetheart.

I miss you

like crazy

and I want to squeeze

all the air out of you

next time I see you.

I don't

mean to be mad.

Love you too, Sam.
