Ep. 313 - The Master by Kresley Cole

Hey HBs! We're here recapping THE MASTER by Kresley Cole! It was formerly a Patreon-only episode, but we're doing something we basically never do and releasing it wide. We originally recapped The Professional and then finished the series on Patreon. This episode was supposed to be a recap of both The Master and The Player, but we loved the books so much we had to give them their own episodes.

Bonus Content: Did Mel incept Sabrina with Lady DIY Instagram or is she just turning 30?, chastity in BDSM romance, where's the CBT in romance?, and so much more!

Sabrina:

She took that money clip.

2

:

he was intending the

3

:

cash.

4

:

Mel: No, he said, take whatever

you think you're worth.

5

:

Yeah, I am absolutely worth this

6

:

gold money clip.

7

:

Sorry,

8

:

I might use it as a nipple clamp later.

9

:

I don't know.

10

:

Okay.

11

:

Hey, Sabrina, I have a question for you.

12

:

Sabrina: Oh, Jesus.

13

:

Mel: I have a theory for you, and I

don't know if this makes me a narcissist.

14

:

Sabrina: Oh, I

15

:

was going to make a joke that, the theory

was that, , we need to plan half hiatuses

16

:

Mel: Bah!

17

:

Sabrina: a year.

18

:

Mel: Yeah, we are going to

start planning half hiatuses.

19

:

Yeah, that's true.

20

:

No, , my theory, so Sabrina has been

doing a lot of the social medias

21

:

lately, which is incredible because

it gives me the big anxiety a lot of

22

:

times, but what Sabrina found out when

she took over, especially Instagram.

23

:

Is that I have basically forgotten

about my personal Instagram, and I've

24

:

just started following all of my,

25

:

Sabrina: Yeah.

26

:

Mel: of my interests on the Heaving

27

:

Sabrina: on the Heaving Bosoms Instagram.

28

:

Yeah.

29

:

Mm

30

:

Mel: And months ago, I meant to go

look, but months ago, I was on one of

31

:

our episode announcement videos, and I

had just gone deep down the Lady DIY.

32

:

rabbit hole on Instagram.

33

:

Sabrina: Is that why we're

34

:

Mel: I

35

:

Sabrina: the, the recommendations

that we've been getting?

36

:

Mel: Okay.

37

:

So that's one of the reasons

we've gotten the recommendations,

38

:

but I have a theory for you.

39

:

I think I might've incepted you because

40

:

Sabrina: I'm DIYing my whole house?

41

:

So, this is not my theory, but I was

42

:

scrolling Tumblr the other

day, and it did make me laugh.

43

:

Actually, you know what?

44

:

Please hold.

45

:

Mel: Okay.

46

:

Sabrina: this thing blew my mind.

47

:

Mel: Okay.

48

:

Sabrina: So, as you well know, and as

I'm sure a listener will eventually

49

:

find out, my 30th birthday is coming in,

50

:

Mel: Yeah.

51

:

Sabrina: I saw a post on

Tumblr, on the Tums, the Tums.

52

:

Mel: Mm

53

:

Sabrina: And, uh, somebody posted,

I'm turning 30 this month and for

54

:

some reason have suddenly become

interested in material possessions.

55

:

Like, what if my couch was Nice.

56

:

What if my sheets were nice?

57

:

Is this what happens to you when you turn?

58

:

Mel: maybe.

59

:

Sabrina: to this.

60

:

Oh boy, this is kind of

long, but it was fascinating.

61

:

So you can cut this,

62

:

but also like, I'm going to read it to you

63

:

because it's accurate.

64

:

Okay.

65

:

So

66

:

Mel: important to friendship.

67

:

Sabrina: response.

68

:

I think a couple of things combine.

69

:

You now have enough experience in the

persistence of material objects to

70

:

understand that if they don't actively

fail, they continue to define the

71

:

shape of your material existence.

72

:

And then, Perhaps you were

73

:

raised to feel guilty for wanting

things such as toys or attention,

74

:

which you later dutifully applied to

things like education or new forms.

75

:

Over time, you will have surprised

yourself with how you met, identified,

76

:

addressed, and reconciled these

tensions from your upbringing.

77

:

Through conflict and resolution

with parents, teachers, church,

78

:

internet, social media, you have

now arrived at what you have.

79

:

If you had big things to confront,

like coming out as queer, you may

80

:

have thought this work was done.

81

:

Now, you suddenly find yourself

confronting the weird beliefs you have

82

:

that you don't need new forks, or it's

83

:

bourgeois to want things, or

nobody spends 200 on hiking boots.

84

:

What are you, rich?

85

:

And you might find yourself feeling like,

well, actually, I'm grown up and I hike.

86

:

So, yes.

87

:

I think that when you are 30, you're in

the danger zone of getting a new couch.

88

:

Holy shit.

89

:

yeah.

90

:

Mel: That was a psychologist.

91

:

Sabrina: it was probably just some fucking

rando on Tumblr, but, like Boy, howdy.

92

:

It's a chaos site, but they

really nail it sometimes.

93

:

Because that's exactly where I've been!

94

:

I As you know, I fucking just

posted that goddamn TikTok of me

95

:

buying a bed because I realized,

oh my fucking god, I hate my bed!

96

:

Mel: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

97

:

And like, I think there's also like, at

least for me, the idea that my comfort

98

:

is worth more than a lot of other things.

99

:

Like, I don't need to be in the

front row of Shakespeare in the

100

:

Park if it means that I have

to spend the night in the rain.

101

:

In a park, you know, for 12 hours.

102

:

I don't need that.

103

:

Like I can see Meryl Streep just

as well from five rows back.

104

:

I'm good.

105

:

And I didn't sleep on a wet

sidewalk to make it happen.

106

:

You know what I

107

:

Sabrina: such a wildly

108

:

Mel: Hyper specific.

109

:

Mm hmm.

110

:

Yeah.

111

:

Listen, Meryl Streep spat on me and it was

one of the best experiences of my life.

112

:

But

113

:

Sabrina: Maybe you are

glad that you slept on the

114

:

Mel: no, here's the thing.

115

:

I'm just glad that I was 21, 22.

116

:

Sabrina: when you did it.

117

:

Mel: Yes.

118

:

Cause you, you could not drag me.

119

:

You could not.

120

:

It would not happen.

121

:

And

122

:

Sabrina: like, uh,

123

:

like,

124

:

Mel: that's a lot of, I

think part is part of it too.

125

:

It's just like, A, I hate shopping.

126

:

I don't want to do this again.

127

:

So I'm going to spend more to get

something I like and I know will last.

128

:

And then I don't have to ever

fucking think about it again.

129

:

That's important to me.

130

:

Sabrina: I feel like at, like, in

your late 20s, early 30s, that's

131

:

when you start to have a cohesive

idea of what you actually like.

132

:

Mel: Yeah, that's true.

133

:

Sabrina: Instead

134

:

Mel: very true.

135

:

Sabrina: it's also

136

:

Mel: What's trendy or what's in front of

you or what's, you know, what's available.

137

:

Yeah.

138

:

Sabrina: also, it's also different buying

furniture than, and like owning a home and

139

:

being able to remodel a home instead of

like finding, I guess for me personally,

140

:

a part of it is that I own my home, right?

141

:

Well, I have a mortgage,

but like, I own my home.

142

:

, I don't have to buy inexpensive stuff that

fits a space that I may not be in in two

143

:

Mel: Yes,

144

:

Sabrina: Right now, I'm buying things

because it fits this house, because I am

145

:

in this house until I sell this house.

146

:

Nobody, no landlord's just

gonna be like, one day, hey,

147

:

Mel: I'm raising your rent 700.

148

:

Sabrina: Yeah, exactly.

149

:

Mel: or leave it.

150

:

Bye!

151

:

Aww!

152

:

Sabrina: just happened to, I was

literally, I saw that post the day,

153

:

like, the first night that I was

laying in my new bed, scrolling

154

:

Tumblr, and I was like, I feel seen.

155

:

Mel: Absolutely!

156

:

Alright, so, I think it's probably

a combination of natural factors,

157

:

including, but not limited to, me

incepting you via Lady DIY Instagram.

158

:

Ha

159

:

Sabrina: yeah, well, no kidding,

160

:

because, um, what, to give you context,

Mel, I can't remember if I told you

161

:

this, but the reason I bought my

bed is because, originally, I did

162

:

not have hot water at this point.

163

:

Um,

164

:

Mel: Sabrina.

165

:

Sabrina: I did think to myself,

I fucking hate this bathtub.

166

:

I hate this shower situation.

167

:

What if I just rip it out

myself and re grout it all?

168

:

Re tile and re grout it all?

169

:

I To be clear, I've

never touched wet grout.

170

:

Mel: No, I hear

171

:

Sabrina: think I've ever I don't

think I've ever seen wet grout.

172

:

And like, what a terrible place

to decide to try those skills out.

173

:

Then

174

:

Mel: When you don't

175

:

Sabrina: Only, my only bathroom.

176

:

So like, if I fuck up that bathroom,

I'm in for a world of hurt.

177

:

And then, and then, I did talk myself

out of that, and I was like, well,

178

:

what if I just, I could start painting?

179

:

Sabrina, bitch, my fuckin Delulu

friend, you don't have hot water.

180

:

Mel: You can't bathe, ma'am.

181

:

Sabrina: can't shower

182

:

Mel: No.

183

:

Sabrina: in warm

184

:

water.

185

:

Mel: those paint flecks out of

your hair ever if you do it right

186

:

Sabrina: So instead I I did

I So instead I did buy a bed.

187

:

Mel: Eee!

188

:

That's really exciting.

189

:

Sabrina: now I have hot water.

190

:

Mel: I will say that all of these,

like, maximalist decorators, I follow,

191

:

Heaving Bosoms follows, that, like,

192

:

Sabrina: You follow.

193

:

I'm just, I'm just, I'm forced

194

:

to come

195

:

along.

196

:

Mel: just a long for the ride.

197

:

Yeah.

198

:

all these maximalist decorators

make it look so easy to just regrout

199

:

a whole kitchen, you know, like

200

:

Sabrina: even necessarily

maximalist Decorators.

201

:

Like, any fucking

202

:

DIY person there, like,

look what We can do.

203

:

And I'm like,

204

:

I can do that.

205

:

My toxic trait is watching

somebody do some crazy shit

206

:

that I've never even touched.

207

:

And I'm like, I could do

208

:

Mel: I can absolutely do that.

209

:

Look, they just did it.

210

:

I know how to do it now.

211

:

Sabrina: Yes,

212

:

Mel: The amount of times that Michael's

been like, can we take one pause?

213

:

Like just real quick, just let's talk it

through before you jump into this thing.

214

:

And I'm like, Oh, I've already

have grout in the basket.

215

:

Sabrina: By the way, of note,

one of the people that you follow

216

:

on our shared account, um, did

in fact give me some neat ideas.

217

:

Mel: really, what is it?

218

:

You got to start sending me them and

be like, I'm going to incorporate this

219

:

Sabrina: I'll start sending them.

223

:

Mel: If I use

224

:

Sabrina: got on your if you got

back on your personal Instagram.

225

:

Mel: dare you?

226

:

That's what we

227

:

Sabrina: Cause I'll tell you do you

know how many people I have sent a

228

:

post from Heaving Bosoms to my personal

Instagram so that I could go follow

229

:

them on my personal Instagram and like

230

:

231

Mel: no, I don't know

why you would do that.

232

:

233

:

241

:

Mel: I'm a sloppy gremlin.

242

:

Okay, listen, before we get into this,

man, listener, just for the record, the

243

:

chat we just had in the real world was

18 minutes long as of right this moment.

244

:

and so you're going to be just blown

away by the editing that happens.

245

:

Okay, and some of those listeners who

are going to be blown away are new

246

:

people who have joined our Patreon,

and we're going to shout them out.

:

Sabrina: you!

261

:

Hello!

262

:

Mel: And thank you, seriously,

thank you for supporting us.

263

:

I know that there are, like,

eleventy billion creators

264

:

that you could be supporting.

265

:

And the fact that you have

chosen us as one of those people,

266

:

it means a metric fuckton.

267

:

Yeah,

268

:

.

So, hey, welcome.

269

:

I hope you have a great time.

270

:

I hope you love either coming

to the watch parties or

271

:

watching the watch parties back.

272

:

Oh, and the discord, join the discord.

273

:

It's hot in there.

274

:

Okay.

275

:

So this week we're doing

something different.

276

:

Speaking

277

:

of

278

:

Sabrina: Yeah, listener, we

279

:

love you, we had big plans, we had

big thoughts, we had big feelings,

280

:

and then, , we are releasing

one of our Patreon episodes

281

:

from a couple of months ago

282

:

Mel: So , this has allowed us to get

283

:

ahead.

284

:

Sabrina: That's exactly it.

285

:

So,

286

:

this is behind the scenes.

287

:

Y'all don't know this, but when we first

started recording together, we were

288

:

like, 3 to 4 weeks ahead of schedule

289

:

Mel: Right.

290

:

And it was a

291

:

beautiful place to be.

292

:

Ooh.

293

:

I wanted to put my butt all over it.

294

:

Sabrina: it was wonderful, because if we

needed to move a recording back, if we

295

:

needed to make a change,

if we needed to do, like,

296

:

yadda yadda yadda, it was so easy to

do, and then, like, life happened, and

297

:

all of a sudden we were, the week before,

298

:

like, fuck, okay, we have no,

we, we don't really want to

299

:

record tonight, but we have no choice.

300

:

Mel: Yeah, absolutely.

301

:

Yeah.

302

:

So this is something that we don't do

and we're not going to do, often if

303

:

at all, because we really do want to

keep the value that we have in the

304

:

Patreon, but we thought that releasing

this would be especially nice for

305

:

everyone because this is a series

that people really, really love.

306

:

It's a series we've covered on the

307

:

podcast and

308

:

Sabrina: loved

309

:

Mel: Yeah.

310

:

Sabrina: all the way through,

311

:

Mel: yeah, it's a series that we

covered, like we just wanted to finish.

312

:

So we covered the rest

of the books on Patrion

313

:

Sabrina: that's the thing

that we do on Patreon,

314

:

Mel: yeah, that's one of the

315

:

Sabrina: we finish

316

:

series nowadays.

317

:

Mel: Yeah.

318

:

If we possibly can.

319

:

Um, man, I wish we could finish

those sinsters, you know,

320

:

but it's like 18 books and I,

321

:

Sabrina: Maybe one day.

322

:

It'll be a cat It'll be a reading round.

323

:

Mel: There we go.

324

:

There we go.

325

:

Yeah.

326

:

So anyway, we had this chat a little

while ago, but we hope that you love

327

:

it.

328

:

Here we are recapping The

Master by Cressley Cole.

329

:

Okay, are you ready to talk about what

we're here to actually talk about?

330

:

Are you ready?

331

:

Sabrina: okay.

332

:

Melody,

333

:

Mel: don't know if I'm

334

:

Sabrina: the,

335

:

listener, we are doing the last two

books in the Game Maker series, you

336

:

will have already listened to us

discussing the horny fuck fest that was

337

:

The Professional, On the public feed,

338

:

Mel: They only get hornier, question mark.

339

:

They stay horny at the very least.

340

:

Sabrina: I feel like they're, yeah,

like I would say that they're very

341

:

similar levels of horny, they're

just different kinds of horny.

342

:

Although they definitely all

have BDSM elements, but like,

343

:

y'all, so, , we've already talked

about professional Melody, right?

344

:

I had no idea what I was walking into.

345

:

Mel: Right.

346

:

You expected Mafia, you got

347

:

BDSM.

348

:

Sabrina: I continued to feel that

way through the next two books.

349

:

Because every time I thought that I

had, like, a lay of the land So, like,

350

:

in the professional, we have this idea

that Maximus is this dangerous, fucking,

351

:

Mel: Mm.

352

:

Politician.

353

:

Mafia boy.

354

:

Sabrina: Y'all,

:

Mel: a precious broken boy.

359

:

Sabrina: this whole series is Precious

360

:

Broken Boys.

361

:

Oh, and we, okay, so we said that

we were going to rate Cowboys and we

362

:

totally forgot in our rank of like

favorite to least favorite, but.

363

:

We have to do it further.

364

:

Actually, let's do Cowboys right now.

365

:

What's your ranking for Cowboys?

366

:

Mel: my ranking for Cowboys

is Sam, Jesse, Zach.

367

:

Yeah.

368

:

Sabrina: I Damn it.

369

:

I don't know why I brought

370

:

Mel: So that's, that's book two,

371

:

Sabrina: I I don't remember

how I rated Jesse versus Zack.

372

:

I

373

:

Mel: You had a hard time with Jesse's

book for the first like half of it.

374

:

Sabrina: Yeah, but that

was like personal stuff.

375

:

Like that was just like my own.

376

:

Yeah.

377

:

Yeah, I think that I'd

probably Yeah, that's true.

378

:

So I think I think that um Mine would be,

just because of the issues that I had with

379

:

Jesse's book, um, or the challen

not issues, it was challenges.

380

:

I'd go Sam Zach Jesse.

381

:

Mel: like it.

382

:

Yeah.

383

:

Sabrina: Okay, now, what's

your professional rank?

384

:

I suspect we're gonna do this the same.

385

:

Really?

386

:

I have no fucking problem.

387

:

Mel: was just about to

388

:

say, is the master my favorite?

389

:

Is the player my favorite?

390

:

That's the question.

391

:

I

392

:

Sabrina: Okay, that was that's a hard

393

:

question.

394

:

So, I, up until the last, like, 7 10

percent of the player still thought

395

:

that the Master was my favorite.

396

:

Mel: And then he comes

397

:

Sabrina: the player,

and I was like, Oh shit,

398

:

Mel: Yeah!

399

:

Sabrina: alright, yeah,

so mine is, mine is 3 2 1.

400

:

Easy.

401

:

No

402

:

Mel: Okay, yeah.

403

:

I mean, that's it, right?

404

:

Because, like, I don't know, the

master is so good and I love Maxime.

405

:

Sabrina: Well, and like, I told you,

we talked, I sent you a voice message,

406

:

or like, no, we talked on the, um,

we had a meet, one of our meetings,

407

:

and I was like, I don't know how the,

like, I cannot wait for Dimitri's book,

408

:

but I can't see how I'm gonna love

409

:

Mel: Both of us were really worried.

410

:

Yeah.

411

:

We were

412

:

Sabrina: I knew for a fact, though, I

knew, I, like, I knew for a fact, though,

413

:

that the Professional would be my least

414

:

Mel: Yeah.

415

:

I mean, it's the,

416

:

Sabrina: From

417

:

like,

418

:

Mel: so often, you know?

419

:

It happens so often in series.

420

:

Sabrina: very, I'll put it this way,

very rarely is the first book in a series

421

:

Mel: The best one.

422

:

Sabrina: gonna be my

423

:

Mel: Yeah.

424

:

Yeah.

425

:

Or even the second best one.

426

:

Holy shit.

427

:

So, okay.

428

:

So let's start with the master.

429

:

Alright?

430

:

We start out uh, with

431

:

Kat

432

:

Sabrina: We start out with our heroine,

433

:

Mel: yeah, she's in a slinky dress

kind of, and she's very nervous.

434

:

She's going up to a penthouse.

435

:

That's like 10,

436

:

Sabrina: fill in

437

:

for her, she is 30, 000

a night, it was 32, 000 a

438

:

Mel: Oh,

439

:

Sabrina: some shit like that.

440

:

Yeah, I know.

441

:

I can't even, I can't even fathom that.

442

:

That makes me feel physically

443

:

ill.

444

:

Mel: some people's whole salaries.

445

:

Sabrina: that was, is significantly

more than salaries I've had in

446

:

Mel: Sure.

447

:

I mean,

448

:

Sabrina: as a full time, like,

as a, like, my full time 40 hours

449

:

a week job, that is 10, 000 more

than I made at a full time job.

450

:

Like,

451

:

Mel: That's incredible.

452

:

Sabrina: my god.

453

:

Mel: Oh my God.

454

:

Do good things with your

money, billionaires.

455

:

Anyway.

456

:

So,

457

:

Sabrina: No joke!

458

:

Mel: Maxime is not.

459

:

Sabrina: she's filling in for her

friend, because her friend is an

460

:

escort, and he has a very specific,

he orders the exact, orders,

461

:

Mel: He orders

462

:

Sabrina: exact kind of, yeah, the

exact kind of escort, he likes

463

:

them tall, European, blonde, thin,

like, big titties, and he, and then

464

:

he has a script where he just has

them bend over, kind And he, like,

465

:

whips him a little bit,

and then he fucks him,

466

:

and then it's done.

467

:

That's it.

468

:

Mel: And then that's it.

469

:

Oh, and they have a ball gag in their

mouth so that he, he doesn't have to hear

470

:

Sabrina: no touching, no nothing.

471

:

They're, they're essentially

a warm fuck doll.

472

:

Mel: Truly.

473

:

Yes.

474

:

And, and, and he's a hobbyist.

475

:

They call him a hobbyist.

476

:

Because apparently, Maxime, never

the same woman twice, and he

477

:

orders them every other night, no

matter where he is in the world?

478

:

Question

479

:

Sabrina: That's a lot of escorts.

480

:

I feel like you'd run out

of escorts at some point.

481

:

Mel: right?

482

:

Oh my god.

483

:

So,

484

:

Sabrina: his body count

has to be in the thousands.

485

:

Mel: I, I can't even begin to think about

his body count, like that's bananas.

486

:

Sabrina: I mean, like, I'm nowhere near

close his number, and off the top of my

487

:

head, I couldn't tell you every person.

488

:

I don't know their like,

I couldn't give you names

489

:

Mel: definitely can't give you names.

490

:

I can probably give you a good ballpark

number, and that's only because in

491

:

my early 20s, I did keep a list.

492

:

But one of them was like, Navy guy.

493

:

Sabrina: well, you stopped

keeping a list because You're

494

:

probably because you're married

495

:

Mel: Yeah, that's part of it.

496

:

Yeah, it's a big part

497

:

Sabrina: Okay.

498

:

Well.

499

:

I still have a list

because I like knowing.

500

:

Like, I like knowing exactly,

like, who cause, like, yeah.

501

:

Cause, like, otherwise, frankly, some

of them, if I didn't have them on

502

:

that list, I would forget about them.

503

:

Mel: Yes,

504

:

Sabrina: Like, every time I see the list

to, like, add someone, cause I never go

505

:

in there except when I'm adding somebody.

506

:

God, is that

507

:

Mel: I wonder where my list is.

508

:

No, I can't remember where my

list is because it was like it was

509

:

analog I wrote it down on a paper.

510

:

Sabrina: Oh,

511

:

Mel: don't think I have it digital.

512

:

Yeah.

513

:

Yeah.

514

:

Yeah, huh?

515

:

I'll have to think about that.

516

:

Anyway,

517

:

so

518

:

Sabrina: Anyway,

519

:

I can't even imagine, like, he, I

was running out of people I felt like

520

:

I'd laugh at, let alone hims, who's

fucking all over the world, thousands

521

:

and thousands and thousands of people,

like, I know that there's billions

522

:

of people in the world, but like,

523

:

That's

524

:

a lot of fuckin

525

:

people, Maxime.

526

:

Mel: But like a pretty small subset

that are escorts though at the very

527

:

least

528

:

Sabrina: exactly!

529

:

Like, point I don't

have the statistics for

530

:

Mel: Totally.

531

:

So anyway, so she shows

up and she is short.

532

:

She's like 5'2 She's Latina.

533

:

her mom was Cuban and her dad was,

I think an American Cuban emissary.

534

:

Maybe is that how that worked?

535

:

Anyway, so she,

536

:

Sabrina: it was ever explicitly stated

what her dad was other than that he

537

:

was, um, over in Cuba for American

538

:

Mel: she says that there was

a, she says at the dinner.

539

:

because he was like, Hey, if

you're going to lie, like, just so,

540

:

you know, it was really hard for

Americans to get to Cuba in that time.

541

:

And she's like, well, not if your

dad's the smurgle blurgle of Cuba.

542

:

Sabrina: Yeah,

543

:

Yeah.

544

:

Mel: So anyway.

545

:

she's got long, dark hair.

546

:

She's got smaller boobs.

547

:

She's got a booty on her, though.

548

:

Sabrina: She got an ass on

549

:

her.

550

:

Mel: wow.

551

:

She's like super curvaceous.

552

:

Her friend Ivana, the person who was,

um, meant to go to this thing, before she

553

:

had a bad reaction to Botox, poor Ivana.

554

:

Like, poor Ivana.

555

:

Sabrina: Yeah.

556

:

Mel: She really lost out

because of that Botox.

557

:

although, she comes out better in the end.

558

:

Sabrina: well, and also like,

it's not like he would have,

559

:

like, she would have been his

560

:

Mel: Oh, absolutely.

561

:

No, no, no, no, no.

562

:

She would have been another escort.

563

:

Yeah.

564

:

But Ivana knows, cat Katya

because Katya cleans her

565

:

Sabrina: cleans her house.

566

:

Mm

567

:

Mel: And she's always

568

:

being like, your

569

:

Sabrina: like, doesn't it say she,

like, cleans a lot of escort houses?

570

:

Mel: I don't know.

571

:

I don't remember that.

572

:

Yeah.

573

:

Um, yeah, but she's like,

you've got an amazing body.

574

:

You should be an escort.

575

:

I make thousands of dollars in one night.

576

:

And so this is

577

:

Sabrina: Christ, how does one sign up

578

:

to be an escort?

579

:

Like, I don't need to

use either of my degrees.

580

:

I don't need, like, what the

581

:

Mel: I mean, here's the thing.

582

:

I think that, and then I remember being

like a bartender and dealing with just

583

:

men in public and I don't know that

584

:

Sabrina: because you're, in reality, I'm

not, I would, yeah, I'm not gonna end up

585

:

Mel: We're not going to get a Sebastian.

586

:

Sabrina: any of these

roa Yeah, no, we're not.

587

:

What'll end up happening is I'll end

up with the man who berated me, Oh,

588

:

like, at Walgreens when I was the ASM.

589

:

Like, I would end up with that one who was

pissed that we were out of a certain kind

590

:

of ice cream and that we didn't sell beer.

591

:

And I'm like, sir, this is a dry county.

592

:

Nobody sells beer.

593

:

And I'm not in charge of the ice cream.

594

:

I don't know what to tell

595

:

Mel: No, that's for sure who we would get.

596

:

Um, and like, I would, I

don't know if you, anyway.

597

:

So, yeah, it's a tough, it's a tough job.

598

:

I mean, that's, I think one of, that's one

of the reasons sex work is such tough work

599

:

because you have, you know, you have to be

there the same for every person, no matter

600

:

what your personal preferences are and

you can't show your personal preferences.

601

:

And like, that's one of Sebastian's

main sticking points because when she

602

:

shows up, apparently her dress is like

high necked, but it has got a really low

603

:

Sabrina: Cause she thinks he's gonna

take it out to, he's, she wasn't sure

604

:

if he'd wanna like go out to dinner or

something so she dressed like Mo More

605

:

modestly, he did not want Listener,

he did not want to go out to dinner.

606

:

He was He was ready to go down the script.

607

:

I also just realized, we

need to fucking cruise.

608

:

Mel: do.

609

:

We

610

:

do.

611

:

So at first

612

:

he's like, no dice.

613

:

Sabrina: she's like, you don't want

You don't want what you think you want.

614

:

Mel: And he's like, really now?

615

:

You're going to tell me what I want?

616

:

And then she sits him down on the couch

and she straddles him and she says, I'm

617

:

not going to give you what you want.

618

:

I'm going to give you what you need.

619

:

And then she just starts dry humping him.

620

:

Like

621

:

just, It does not.

622

:

No, because she's got

no, I think she's got

623

:

Sabrina: leaves a wet spot.

624

:

She has a thong.

625

:

She leaves a wet spot on his

pants and he does not believe her.

626

:

He thinks that she is like playing

him and like acting it out.

627

:

Like, oh, yeah, this feels so good.

628

:

And like, he like lifts her up

right as she's about to come

629

:

and she's like, what the fuck?

630

:

And he sees the wet spot on his

crotch and he's like, you're actually

631

:

Mel: You're into this.

632

:

And she's like, yeah, I am.

633

:

Sabrina: Uh huh.

634

:

They make out,

635

:

Mel: they make out.

636

:

He's not kissed anyone in forever.

637

:

She doesn't know that, but like they

make out, they do all this stuff.

638

:

He's talking about like what a pro she is.

639

:

And he keeps on being like.

640

:

This is the part where you upsell me.

641

:

This is the part where you say you

want to stay the whole night, or

642

:

like, this is the part that you say

you can do one extra thing for two

643

:

thousand more dollars, or whatever.

644

:

And she's like, no, I'm not gonna do that.

645

:

And she's, she's like,

insulting to him sometimes.

646

:

And she's just

647

:

like, absolutely not.

648

:

Like, you can go ahead and flatter

yourself, but no, I'm not gonna do that.

649

:

But like,

650

:

Sabrina: And then so like, they're

like, stuff on the couch and then he

651

:

ends up picking her up and like, taking

her over to the bed and like, finger

652

:

banging the shit out of her and then he,

653

:

Mel: I don't remember that.

654

:

I thought it was all on the couch.

655

:

Sabrina: no.

656

:

They end up on the bed cause he's

like, finger fucking her and then she

657

:

like, he go, like, he starts fucking

her on the bed, like, just pistoning

658

:

her.

659

:

And.

660

:

I did have to laugh every single time

that he came, like, in all three of these

661

:

books,

662

:

Mel: three of

663

:

them.

664

:

You're stealing my cum!

665

:

Sabrina: Or no, they're like, bellowing,

they like, throw their heads back, and

666

:

they're like, I'm I can't, I can't.

667

:

It, it had me laughing every time.

668

:

Mel: but it's

669

:

Sabrina: Hot,

670

:

Mel: milking, you're milking my cock.

671

:

You're stealing my cum before I'm

672

:

ready.

673

:

They're always talking about

how, like, they're cumming too

674

:

fast because of these ladies.

675

:

It's so funny.

676

:

Sabrina: uh huh.

677

:

And then, yeah, and so then it's

done, and he goes to shower,

678

:

Mel: And she's like, okay, well,

I'll stick around for a bit.

679

:

Sabrina: he paid for six hours, and so

she's like Maybe he wants to go again,

680

:

and then he comes out of the shower,

and he's like, you're still here?

681

:

Mel: And she's like, nope, not anymore.

682

:

She puts her clothes on.

683

:

And he's like, this is where you, you tell

me you want to like spend the whole night.

684

:

And she was like, Oh no, Oh no, I'm good.

685

:

Thank you so much.

686

:

Sabrina: hmm.

687

:

And then

688

:

something about a tip and he's like

the money's there's money on the

689

:

There's money on the dresser take as

much as you think you're worth or like

690

:

as tonight is worth and she fuckin

There's like two grand in a money clip.

691

:

So she takes the whole fucking thing

and the money clip and just saunters

692

:

her happy ass out of that room.

693

:

Mel: have a legitimate question

for you because this mystified me.

694

:

All right.

695

:

Sabrina: Okay,

696

:

Mel: Isn't that exactly what you would do?

697

:

Like I might leave the money clip,

but you give me a blank check

698

:

and you've been an asshole to me

after I just rocked your world.

699

:

I'm going to take all of that 2, 000.

700

:

Are we talking about

701

:

Sabrina: Melody, I talk a big

game, but I cannot even imagine

702

:

myself in this situation because

the minute he was mean to me,

703

:

I would have shut down.

704

:

I would have shut down, Melody.

705

:

Like, I, like, I talk a big game.

706

:

I can say all of these.

707

:

I can't even, I can't even imagine myself

in that situation because I am feeling

708

:

I'm deeply uncomfortable just thinking

about the situations that led up to this.

709

:

Like, I'm struggling to see myself in

that situation, let alone to the point

710

:

at the end where I'm sassing him, and

he's sassing me, and I'm not crying.

711

:

Like, that's just

712

:

Mel: No, don't get me wrong.

713

:

I would absolutely sob in

the cab on the way home.

714

:

However, judging from the way

I responded, to customers in

715

:

different service industries,

this is exactly what I would do.

716

:

And like, and,

717

:

Sabrina: like, to believe I would

have taken it money clip and

718

:

Mel: no, but here's the thing, listener,

this is the crazy thing is that when

719

:

she leaves for the rest of the book,

she thinks to herself, is he going to

720

:

be mad at me for stealing from him?

721

:

Bitch, you didn't steal from him.

722

:

He said, take what?

723

:

No, She

724

:

didn't.

725

:

Sabrina: She took that money clip.

726

:

he was intending the

727

:

cash.

728

:

Mel: No, he said, take whatever

you think you're worth.

729

:

Yeah, I am absolutely worth this

730

:

gold money clip.

731

:

Sorry,

732

:

I might use it as a nipple clamp later.

733

:

I don't know.

734

:

Like, what are you, what are you doing?

735

:

No, you didn't

736

:

steal from him.

737

:

He said, take as much money as you want

to take, and then you took that money.

738

:

That's not theft.

739

:

That's a good tip that you controlled.

740

:

Sabrina: yeah, no, the

money, absolutely not.

741

:

The money is not theft.

742

:

Take that

743

:

Mel: Okay, yeah, I probably

would have left the money clip.

744

:

But I definitely would have taken every

single penny on the top of that dresser.

745

:

Fuck that guy.

746

:

Anyway,

747

:

so so she

748

:

feels icky as fuck.

749

:

He makes her feel

750

:

so icky.

751

:

Sabrina: Yeah, cause he's a

752

:

Mel: Yeah, she was like, she's

like the, her whole thing is

753

:

like, I'm going to do this one.

754

:

Okay.

755

:

So the important thing to

know about her is that she's

756

:

Sabrina: Yeah, this is when

she gets back to her apartment,

757

:

we learn a lot about her.

758

:

Mel: Yeah.

759

:

She's been on the run for the past three

years from a guy that she married when

760

:

she was like, Barely 18 and because

she thought she saw him recently,

761

:

that's the only reason she ended up

actually accepting this escort job

762

:

because she needed cash very fast so

that she could like leave the next day.

763

:

And she hasn't been able to save

any money because she's got a

764

:

really predatory super who is sort

of forcing her to pay him not to.

765

:

Assault her on a regular

basis it's just like terrible.

766

:

There's leaks all over her roof.

767

:

It's a terrible shitty awful apartment.

768

:

And so.

769

:

She's in this situation where she feels

incredibly unsafe, so she's like, I'm

770

:

going to take this escort job one time.

771

:

I'm going to figure out

a way to be okay with it.

772

:

I'm going to make the money I need

to make, and then I'm going to split.

773

:

And then she gets to this job where

she, like, handles herself, and she

774

:

actually enjoys it, and she comes

like a freight train, and she feels

775

:

really, really good about it, and

776

:

Sabrina: Yeah, cause she

777

:

Mel: end Yes!

778

:

Yes!

779

:

And then at the very end, this

guy makes her feel just so small.

780

:

It's

781

:

so mean.

782

:

Sabrina: Gross.

783

:

He's a dick.

784

:

Like, to be fea to be clear, he's a

dick at the beginning of this book.

785

:

And he is he always stays

kind of overbearing and

786

:

possessive, but like, who of

these Sebastian men aren't like

787

:

that?

788

:

yeah, and she so sorry, I was I

thought I had highlighted the rules

789

:

that she gave herself, but I did not.

790

:

That's what I was

791

:

Mel: One is never stay in the same

place for more than six months.

792

:

Two is don't tell anybody

793

:

anything.

794

:

Ever.

795

:

3.

796

:

Don't get attached.

797

:

Um, 4.

798

:

Keep a low profile.

799

:

Like, don't, no undue attention.

800

:

5.

801

:

It's like, it's like

all that kind of stuff.

802

:

So that she's, she's permanently mobile.

803

:

Like, even, she has to be

emotionally mobile in order to not

804

:

get murdered by this ex husband.

805

:

Sabrina: Yeah.

806

:

And she's also in school, to be clear.

807

:

She's trying to finish up

her degree in business.

808

:

I think it's business.

809

:

And so she had started

school in Jacksonville.

810

:

This takes place in Florida, by the way.

811

:

She started school in Jacksonville,

Florida, and then now she's in Miami?

812

:

Yes.

813

:

Miami.

814

:

Because she's been running.

815

:

She's on the run.

816

:

Did you explain to them

why she's on the run?

817

:

Mel: No, not yet.

818

:

You

819

:

can.

820

:

Sabrina: We may as well.

821

:

So, She's on the run because

the man that she married, Dane?

822

:

Mel: Edward.

823

:

Sabrina: Edward?

824

:

Mel: Edward Charles.

825

:

Sabrina: Yeah,

826

:

I'm good at remembering people's names.

827

:

He's a con artist.

828

:

Turns out he was stalking

her, essentially.

829

:

Getting a profile on her and

decided that when she turned 18

830

:

she was gonna be the one that he

831

:

Mel: He's a black

832

:

widow.

833

:

He marries rich women, and then

834

:

he murders them.

835

:

With a partner.

836

:

With his romantic partner,

837

:

Julia.

838

:

Sabrina: yeah, and so he chose her

because her parents died, leaving

839

:

her an enormous fortune, millions

and millions and millions of dollars.

840

:

And, like, a bunch of beachfront

property in Miami that is worth, like,

841

:

or maybe it's worth in Jackson I don't

know, somewhere on the coast of Flori

842

:

Doesn't fucking matter, because any

fucking coastal land in Florida is

843

:

gonna be super expensive and worth a

844

:

Mel: Yeah.

845

:

Sabrina: And so, he married her,

and then he, because he's a lawyer,

846

:

handed her a bunch of stuff.

847

:

Like, this is the most 18 year old

848

:

shit

849

:

I've ever heard in my life.

850

:

Because I would have done this shit at 18.

851

:

She trusted him.

852

:

He seemed amazing.

853

:

He was there.

854

:

He was there to, like, be a shoulder

for her when her whole family is dead.

855

:

Mel: because her mom just

died when he arrived.

856

:

Hint, hint.

857

:

He definitely

858

:

Sabrina: Yeah, yeah.

859

:

Mm hmm.

860

:

Well, he killed her mom

after they were together.

861

:

Mel: But they hadn't

862

:

Sabrina: Yeah.

863

:

Yeah.

864

:

And so she ends up married.

865

:

He hands her some stuff to sign

over and she basically, she

866

:

doesn't read the fine print.

867

:

She doesn't read any of it.

868

:

She just signs it.

869

:

He now has control over everything.

870

:

everything except for that land because

that land is in a trust and so he is like

871

:

I need to get access to that land somehow.

872

:

So he and Julia, his lover, had come up

with some kind of plan of some kind in

873

:

order to get the land from her but they

already have the millions of dollars and

874

:

things like that and then she gets home.

875

:

She gets home early for whatever reason.

876

:

And she walks in and he and her are

talking, he and Julia are talking

877

:

about this plan that they have to kill

her and how, like, she might be too

878

:

smart, but also, like, she's just a

dumb little girl and blah, blah, blah,

879

:

blah,

880

:

Mel: they're like having

881

:

Sabrina: that they have to murder her.

882

:

Mel: And Julia's like, Julia's

like, No, this one's a problem.

883

:

She's not malleable like the other ones.

884

:

She might be, like, young.

885

:

But, she's a problem.

886

:

And he's like, No, don't worry.

887

:

I'm gonna

888

:

Sabrina: Mm hmm.

889

:

Mel: problem.

890

:

Sabrina: And what we, what we end

up finding out is a big reason

891

:

that she's on the run is because

when she heard them talking in that

892

:

room, she went and got her gun.

893

:

And she walked into that room.

894

:

And was like, you both need to

explain what the fuck is going on.

895

:

Edward, you have to tell me

what the fuck is going on.

896

:

What the shit, dude.

897

:

And he's like, oh my god, nothing,

this is just like, he pulls all that

898

:

normal shit that somebody literally

caught cheating in their own bed says.

899

:

All the bullshit.

900

:

And she's like, fuck that, and then

she sees him, like, long story short,

901

:

a bunch of stuff happens, and she

ends up shooting Julia by accident.

902

:

And Edward loses his f it is, cause

he like, jumps at her and lunges

903

:

at her and like, knocks her, and

when her arm goes flying, bang.

904

:

And then Julia is literally shot in the

905

:

Mel: And making, like,

gurgle noises, it's bad.

906

:

Sabrina: it was graphic.

907

:

Mel: And then he's like,

I'm gonna kill you to death,

908

:

Sabrina: I'm gonna fucking murder

909

:

you.

910

:

Like, and this is not gonna be, yeah,

this is not just because of this.

911

:

It's not even because of the

plan now, now this is revenge.

912

:

And so she fucking hit the road,

she got the fuck out of Dodge as

913

:

fast as she could, which like,

914

:

Mel: That's exactly correct.

915

:

That's exactly what you do.

916

:

And so since then She's been on the

run trying to finish her degree because

917

:

that was her mom's like dying wish.

918

:

She, her mom had two dying wishes.

919

:

One, don't marry Edward.

920

:

And two, finish your degree.

921

:

She was like, I can do one of those.

922

:

So,

923

:

Sabrina: can do one of those

924

:

Mel: yeah.

925

:

So she's at the end of the semester.

926

:

She has one more test to take

in one simple econ class.

927

:

And she's going to have a, a finished

degree in her, Pseudonym, right?

928

:

Like in her fake name, but she's

hoping she can like get those

929

:

credits transferred somehow.

930

:

Sabrina: Yeah.

931

:

Mel: I feel like it's a pipe

dream, but it won't matter

932

:

later on.

933

:

Sabrina: actual name is Lucia.

934

:

She goes by Kat.

935

:

Mel: Or, it's Lucia.

936

:

Sabrina: Oh,

937

:

Mel: Yeah, you wanna know why I said that?

938

:

Cause in book 2, she's Lucia,

according to the audiobook narrator.

939

:

And then suddenly, in book 3,

she's referred to as Lucia.

940

:

Hehehehe.

941

:

So,

942

:

Sabrina: I'm gonna personally stick

with Lucia just because that's

943

:

all of the people I've ever known.

944

:

IRL, who have that spelling,

is Lucia, but maybe, well,

945

:

maybe it's different for, like,

946

:

Cuban

947

:

pronunciation.

948

:

Mel: Yeah.

949

:

Sabrina: But, regardless.

950

:

So, this is when, like, now you have

the backstory and we really don't

951

:

have to touch on this a whole lot now

until the very, very end of this book.

952

:

Because now it is just, like,

full on, uh, Sebastian possessive.

953

:

Bonkersness.

954

:

Because he, he tried his best.

955

:

Maxime tried his, Maximilian tried

his best to be like, No, I'm not

956

:

going to call her, even though

she's all he can think about.

957

:

Because she just rocked his fucking world.

958

:

And then he, he caves.

959

:

Mel: He hasn't been able to,

like, touch anyone for years.

960

:

Sabrina: No, but, well, he's

been able to touch them.

961

:

They can't touch him.

962

:

Mel: Yeah, but even when

he touches, like, it's not

963

:

Sabrina: Yeah,

964

:

that's true, that's

965

:

true.

966

:

And so he, he goes fully off the rails.

967

:

He calls, what's that dude's

name, Andrew or some shit?

968

:

The, like,

969

:

the guy who runs the S That's it.

970

:

I know names.

971

:

To be fair, I have read like eight

books since I read this book.

972

:

Mel: Meanwhile, to be fair, I

read both of these books twice.

973

:

Again.

974

:

Sabrina: See, this is the

difference between you and me.

975

:

Is, yeah, I go through like

400 books a year, but it's

976

:

because I only read them once.

977

:

Mel: Yeah.

978

:

Sabrina: And I take my notes.

979

:

But yeah, anyway, Maxime calls

Uncle Anthony and is like, I need

980

:

that woman's information, and,

981

:

Mel: the issue is that Anthony

doesn't have her information

982

:

because she doesn't actually work for the

983

:

agency.

984

:

Yeah.

985

:

Sabrina: because she's not an

986

:

Mel: So, Anthony is trying to

call Ivana to get information.

987

:

Ivana is trying to get a hold of Lucia.

988

:

Lucia is like, at school, cleaning houses,

doing all this stuff with her phone off.

989

:

the end of the day, Maxim has paid 10,

000 for her private phone number, even

990

:

though she told everyone she did not

want to share her private phone number.

991

:

And Ivana was like, listen,

I have family in the Ukraine.

992

:

I took the money.

993

:

We can get you a new number.

994

:

And she's like, okay, fair.

995

:

Sabrina: Yeah,

996

:

Mel: So he calls her and he says, I

want you at my hotel in 15 minutes.

997

:

Sabrina: No, she calls him.

998

:

Cause

999

:

Mel: Oh.

:

00:41:51,602 --> 00:41:53,082

Sabrina: your game, Sebastian?

:

00:41:53,432 --> 00:41:54,182

Mel: yeah.

:

00:41:54,212 --> 00:41:54,932

Sabrina: think it is?

:

00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,156

Mel: Oh, because she thinks

he's mad about the theft.

:

00:41:57,305 --> 00:41:58,319

The quote unquote theft.

:

00:41:58,506 --> 00:42:00,066

Sabrina: Yeah!

:

00:42:00,506 --> 00:42:05,766

And so, which, clearly, clearly

this man who's paying, literally,

:

00:42:05,766 --> 00:42:06,846

he's there for seven days.

:

00:42:06,846 --> 00:42:10,456

He's staying someplace where it's going

to cost him upwards of a quarter million

:

00:42:10,456 --> 00:42:12,486

dollars to stay there for one fucking

:

00:42:12,486 --> 00:42:12,766

week.

:

00:42:12,766 --> 00:42:14,856

And he's gonna be mad

about the money clip.

:

00:42:15,586 --> 00:42:17,176

Like, anyway.

:

00:42:17,486 --> 00:42:20,136

And, like, if it was like a

family heirloom or something,

:

00:42:20,136 --> 00:42:24,526

maybe, but like, Not if you

actually know his family, so like,

:

00:42:25,926 --> 00:42:28,696

So, he's like, I'll get,

like, get here in 15 minutes.

:

00:42:28,696 --> 00:42:32,196

And she's like, No,

that's not going to work.

:

00:42:32,196 --> 00:42:34,629

I can be there at nine tonight

or something like that.

:

00:42:34,836 --> 00:42:35,806

Mel: At the earliest.

:

00:42:36,036 --> 00:42:38,396

She gives him a really

hard time up until then.

:

00:42:38,396 --> 00:42:39,106

She's like, no.

:

00:42:39,236 --> 00:42:40,026

That's not how it works.

:

00:42:40,026 --> 00:42:41,286

You should have booked

me when I was there.

:

00:42:41,286 --> 00:42:42,536

But instead, you were a rude

:

00:42:42,576 --> 00:42:43,246

asshole.

:

00:42:43,356 --> 00:42:43,556

Sabrina: uh

:

00:42:43,976 --> 00:42:45,486

Mel: And so he's like, okay, okay, okay.

:

00:42:45,496 --> 00:42:46,596

Get down here at nine.

:

00:42:46,855 --> 00:42:48,265

Wear something sexy,

:

00:42:48,585 --> 00:42:49,065

Sabrina: oh, and

:

00:42:49,525 --> 00:42:53,135

So the first time he has

her, he pays 5, 000, right?

:

00:42:53,485 --> 00:42:55,575

So she ends up making seven

grand for that first night.

:

00:42:55,865 --> 00:42:58,765

The, this time she shows

up and you're right.

:

00:42:58,775 --> 00:43:01,005

She's, he says, wear something sexy.

:

00:43:01,025 --> 00:43:02,725

Mel: And Ivana hooks her up.

:

00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,190

Sabrina: Cause it's a little bit

too big on Ivana and it fuckin

:

00:43:07,190 --> 00:43:09,580

fits Kat like a goddamn DREAM?!

:

00:43:10,015 --> 00:43:10,705

Mel: Mhm,

:

00:43:10,890 --> 00:43:12,600

Sabrina: Like, oh my god.

:

00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,070

Like, her booty is almost hanging out.

:

00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,680

She, like, she is

:

00:43:17,425 --> 00:43:22,395

Von is Hill, and then, yeah, and then

she, so she shows up, and he is a gog,

:

00:43:22,865 --> 00:43:23,325

Mel: Yeah.

:

00:43:23,365 --> 00:43:24,475

Sabrina: jaw on the floor.

:

00:43:24,565 --> 00:43:25,065

Mel: Mhm.

:

00:43:25,635 --> 00:43:28,225

He's like, why didn't you wear this,

something like this the first day?

:

00:43:28,405 --> 00:43:31,255

You looked like a school

marm the first day.

:

00:43:31,255 --> 00:43:33,085

That's why I was gonna turn you away.

:

00:43:33,445 --> 00:43:34,665

And she's like, okay, Russo.

:

00:43:34,915 --> 00:43:35,465

Okay.

:

00:43:36,077 --> 00:43:38,047

So, he pulls her inside and he's

:

00:43:38,047 --> 00:43:41,144

like, I imagine that you're

gonna charge me 5, 000.

:

00:43:41,619 --> 00:43:41,779

Sabrina: And

:

00:43:41,779 --> 00:43:42,209

she's like,

:

00:43:42,279 --> 00:43:43,739

late booking fee is ten.

:

00:43:44,484 --> 00:43:46,184

Mel: And then she's like,

fuck, I should have gone higher

:

00:43:46,184 --> 00:43:47,884

because he just hands her 10, 000

:

00:43:48,134 --> 00:43:49,374

without comment.

:

00:43:49,463 --> 00:43:50,983

Sabrina: He was like, yep, there you go.

:

00:43:51,281 --> 00:43:51,901

Mel: God damn it.

:

00:43:51,911 --> 00:43:52,041

To

:

00:43:52,041 --> 00:43:53,721

be hot, you know?

:

00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,520

Sabrina: so then they start, like,

kinda, like, getting intimate

:

00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,360

and then her tummy grumbles

:

00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,870

and he's like, Oh, no.

:

00:44:06,170 --> 00:44:08,270

And so he's like, we're

gonna order Oh, no!

:

00:44:08,270 --> 00:44:13,680

He takes her down to the

restaurant at the hotel to eat.

:

00:44:13,930 --> 00:44:18,125

And so while they're down there,

Like, he starts, like, probing her

:

00:44:18,125 --> 00:44:21,265

for information, and she's like,

No, I'm not gonna tell you anything.

:

00:44:21,265 --> 00:44:23,265

He's like, What if I paid

you a grand for a thought?

:

00:44:23,275 --> 00:44:24,455

Like, for a thing.

:

00:44:24,525 --> 00:44:25,095

Anything.

:

00:44:25,105 --> 00:44:27,005

Like, tell me literally

:

00:44:27,005 --> 00:44:27,515

anything.

:

00:44:27,515 --> 00:44:27,645

And

:

00:44:27,645 --> 00:44:28,295

she's like,

:

00:44:28,541 --> 00:44:29,451

Mel: that's my hard limit.

:

00:44:30,106 --> 00:44:30,906

I'm not going to tell you anything.

:

00:44:30,906 --> 00:44:33,286

And then he's like, well, don't

you want to know about me?

:

00:44:33,406 --> 00:44:36,456

Because Vasily thinks you might

be some sort of spy, either a

:

00:44:36,456 --> 00:44:37,906

government or a corporate one.

:

00:44:38,666 --> 00:44:40,276

And she's like, or like a

political one or something.

:

00:44:40,276 --> 00:44:42,656

And she's like, no, I really

don't want to know anything

:

00:44:42,696 --> 00:44:45,026

about La Mafia Rusa, she says.

:

00:44:45,936 --> 00:44:47,876

I don't want anything to do with that.

:

00:44:47,886 --> 00:44:48,356

So no.

:

00:44:48,386 --> 00:44:50,896

And he's like, what the fuck,

what's happening right now?

:

00:44:50,896 --> 00:44:54,236

And she says, I just, you know,

if we're going to do this, then I

:

00:44:54,266 --> 00:44:55,916

just want to spend time with you.

:

00:44:56,186 --> 00:44:59,526

What you want to share with

me, you can, but otherwise.

:

00:45:00,271 --> 00:45:04,021

I'm not going to ask you to share

when I won't share and he's having

:

00:45:04,021 --> 00:45:08,381

a very hard time with this and, and

she keeps on like subtly negging him,

:

00:45:08,551 --> 00:45:10,351

but it's all like truthful negging.

:

00:45:10,371 --> 00:45:16,521

She's like, no, you're, you were an

asshole to me and like, you're hot, but.

:

00:45:16,931 --> 00:45:17,471

Being around

:

00:45:17,471 --> 00:45:23,031

you kind of sucks, you know,

and he's just like, you are a

:

00:45:23,031 --> 00:45:26,101

singular creature like he he likes

:

00:45:26,340 --> 00:45:27,660

Sabrina: he says that so much.

:

00:45:27,660 --> 00:45:29,130

He loves it.

:

00:45:29,130 --> 00:45:30,660

He, because he, nobody's ever told him?

:

00:45:30,660 --> 00:45:31,260

No.

:

00:45:31,591 --> 00:45:31,831

Mel: Yeah.

:

00:45:31,890 --> 00:45:33,300

Sabrina: like pushed back.

:

00:45:33,721 --> 00:45:34,021

Mel: not at all.

:

00:45:35,341 --> 00:45:35,811

So

:

00:45:35,860 --> 00:45:36,790

Sabrina: since he's been an adult.

:

00:45:36,790 --> 00:45:37,180

Anyway,

:

00:45:37,421 --> 00:45:41,291

Mel: yeah, so they go back upstairs

and he's like, I'm booking you for

:

00:45:41,291 --> 00:45:42,861

the rest of the night officially.

:

00:45:42,921 --> 00:45:43,971

Oh, it's down.

:

00:45:44,021 --> 00:45:44,541

Oh my God.

:

00:45:44,901 --> 00:45:46,401

Down at the restaurant.

:

00:45:46,411 --> 00:45:47,011

He said,

:

00:45:47,045 --> 00:45:48,420

Sabrina: to use the restroom.

:

00:45:49,260 --> 00:45:52,580

Oh, well, she goes to use the restroom

and on her way back, a bunch of

:

00:45:52,585 --> 00:45:55,910

businessmen try to give her their cards,

but she's not an escort, and so she's

:

00:45:55,910 --> 00:45:57,140

like, I'm not taking these cards.

:

00:45:57,145 --> 00:46:03,380

But he sees it and he's like,

he's possessive and upset Betty.

:

00:46:03,380 --> 00:46:04,370

And she's like.

:

00:46:04,805 --> 00:46:05,605

Shut the fu

:

00:46:05,696 --> 00:46:06,126

Mel: But like,

:

00:46:06,205 --> 00:46:06,975

Sabrina: she's like, shut the

:

00:46:07,176 --> 00:46:09,156

Mel: this actually didn't track for me.

:

00:46:09,616 --> 00:46:14,956

Because, since he's so possessive,

to me, it seems like he would see

:

00:46:14,956 --> 00:46:18,796

her literally throw up her arms,

saying, no, no, no, thank you,

:

00:46:18,796 --> 00:46:20,996

but no, and walking back to him.

:

00:46:21,736 --> 00:46:23,776

I think that should make him happy.

:

00:46:24,186 --> 00:46:26,876

But instead, he's like, you

should not be trolling for new

:

00:46:26,886 --> 00:46:28,196

clients when you're on a date

:

00:46:28,265 --> 00:46:28,795

Sabrina: Well,

:

00:46:28,806 --> 00:46:30,266

Mel: like, she obviously wasn't!

:

00:46:30,325 --> 00:46:32,905

Sabrina: I don't I don't know

that she was throwing up her hand.

:

00:46:32,915 --> 00:46:33,105

Like,

:

00:46:33,105 --> 00:46:33,185

It

:

00:46:33,185 --> 00:46:33,745

could have just looked

:

00:46:33,756 --> 00:46:34,246

Mel: that!

:

00:46:34,425 --> 00:46:35,595

Sabrina: a conversation.

:

00:46:35,886 --> 00:46:36,146

Mel: mm.

:

00:46:36,156 --> 00:46:39,076

No, it says that she throws up

her hands and she's like, no,

:

00:46:39,076 --> 00:46:40,306

no, thank you, thank you so much.

:

00:46:40,306 --> 00:46:40,696

It's like an

:

00:46:40,715 --> 00:46:44,045

Sabrina: well, hell, as far as

he's concerned, it could be that

:

00:46:44,055 --> 00:46:49,308

she went to them, they said no Well, like,

she went to them, they said no, and then

:

00:46:49,308 --> 00:46:51,065

she's like, oh, that's not what I meant.

:

00:46:51,095 --> 00:46:55,645

Like, I didn't mean to, like, imply

that you're looking for company,

:

00:46:55,735 --> 00:46:56,705

or like, something like that.

:

00:46:56,715 --> 00:46:57,725

Like, there's so many different

:

00:46:57,816 --> 00:47:01,626

Mel: Well, she, well, no, but for the

record, she doesn't go up to anyone.

:

00:47:01,636 --> 00:47:02,276

They very

:

00:47:02,340 --> 00:47:02,950

Sabrina: No, she doesn't.

:

00:47:02,950 --> 00:47:06,550

It's just walking past,

walking past the bar.

:

00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,160

Anyway, this is all whatever.

:

00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:09,040

It doesn't fucking matter.

:

00:47:09,151 --> 00:47:13,771

Mel: what he says to her at that

little dinner is you said that

:

00:47:13,771 --> 00:47:17,621

it was my loss when I didn't want

you to spend the rest of the night

:

00:47:17,621 --> 00:47:19,271

like the night we were together.

:

00:47:19,721 --> 00:47:20,821

What would we have done?

:

00:47:21,401 --> 00:47:26,811

And she goes on this whole thing where

she's like, well, we would have had some

:

00:47:26,811 --> 00:47:31,111

more champagne and or like some drinks and

then we would have gone out in the terrace

:

00:47:31,221 --> 00:47:35,811

and then I would have stripped down naked

and, uh, I would dive into the pool and

:

00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:39,120

Sabrina: And watching me

dive would change your life.

:

00:47:39,206 --> 00:47:39,786

Mel: Mhm.

:

00:47:40,750 --> 00:47:42,200

Sabrina: Which it does, to be clear.

:

00:47:42,420 --> 00:47:45,840

At some point, she dives into the pool

and he's just like, when she comes

:

00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,410

back up, he's like looking at her like,

:

00:47:48,006 --> 00:47:48,666

Mel: Uh huh.

:

00:47:48,966 --> 00:47:49,376

Yeah.

:

00:47:49,976 --> 00:47:53,676

And she's like, then we would like maybe

wrestle, and then you would tickle me,

:

00:47:53,716 --> 00:47:55,406

and then we would like have more sex.

:

00:47:55,406 --> 00:47:57,916

I would like ride you on

a deck chair and stuff.

:

00:47:58,136 --> 00:48:00,066

And he's like very into it.

:

00:48:00,476 --> 00:48:04,756

So he takes her up to the room, gives

her some champagne, and then they

:

00:48:04,756 --> 00:48:09,296

proceed to do all of those things while

he's still trying to get to know her.

:

00:48:10,260 --> 00:48:11,320

Sabrina: all fucking night.

:

00:48:11,330 --> 00:48:13,370

So much champagne, so much fucking.

:

00:48:13,380 --> 00:48:16,180

She, they decide, they,

well, Yeah, so this is

:

00:48:16,406 --> 00:48:18,086

Mel: So she wakes up in the morning,

:

00:48:19,136 --> 00:48:20,666

hungover as fuck.

:

00:48:21,296 --> 00:48:23,836

, like I need to puke bile hungover.

:

00:48:24,936 --> 00:48:27,016

so she's shocked to wake up

there in the first place.

:

00:48:27,966 --> 00:48:32,426

And then they have like a nice sort

of morning, but then at some point

:

00:48:32,806 --> 00:48:35,276

he says, are you on birth control?

:

00:48:36,206 --> 00:48:40,256

She's like, no, but I have a prescription

I'm going to get on birth control.

:

00:48:40,766 --> 00:48:43,406

And he's like, why would you

tell me to come inside you?

:

00:48:43,856 --> 00:48:45,186

And she's like, what?

:

00:48:45,286 --> 00:48:45,916

No, I

:

00:48:45,970 --> 00:48:46,740

Sabrina: I'm sorry, I

:

00:48:46,746 --> 00:48:47,106

Mel: that.

:

00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:47,820

Sabrina: what?!

:

00:48:48,886 --> 00:48:50,026

Mel: I would never do that.

:

00:48:50,526 --> 00:48:52,046

And he's like, no, we

went over to the couch.

:

00:48:52,046 --> 00:48:55,536

We, I had a whole conversation

with you about how we both had like

:

00:48:55,616 --> 00:49:00,156

clean health records and I didn't

want any barriers between us.

:

00:49:00,226 --> 00:49:01,706

And you were like, yeah, sure.

:

00:49:01,716 --> 00:49:02,656

Most definitely.

:

00:49:02,666 --> 00:49:03,616

Let's do that.

:

00:49:03,766 --> 00:49:06,866

And so I'm a single billionaire.

:

00:49:07,186 --> 00:49:11,026

You happen to be at your most

fertile time of the month and you

:

00:49:11,026 --> 00:49:15,296

tricked me into coming in you like

no less than half a dozen times.

:

00:49:15,566 --> 00:49:17,416

Which, like, he's, like, 32.

:

00:49:17,786 --> 00:49:19,766

Good job, Moxieeeem.

:

00:49:19,766 --> 00:49:21,236

Hehehehe.

:

00:49:21,916 --> 00:49:24,706

Six times in a single

night, while drunk, Moxieem?

:

00:49:25,306 --> 00:49:25,796

Wow.

:

00:49:26,416 --> 00:49:27,116

I don't know about that.

:

00:49:27,441 --> 00:49:27,901

No?

:

00:49:28,523 --> 00:49:28,873

Sabrina: know.

:

00:49:29,403 --> 00:49:31,433

I haven't had that much sex with penises,

:

00:49:31,493 --> 00:49:31,853

Mel.

:

00:49:32,053 --> 00:49:32,433

So,

:

00:49:32,479 --> 00:49:33,159

Mel: But, even, ugh.

:

00:49:34,349 --> 00:49:35,399

Just the exhaustion

:

00:49:35,513 --> 00:49:35,893

Sabrina: like,

:

00:49:35,909 --> 00:49:36,619

Mel: I feel like.

:

00:49:37,008 --> 00:49:37,818

Sabrina: I mean, I don't know.

:

00:49:37,818 --> 00:49:40,598

I had, like, 12 hour

fuckathons with ex girlfriends.

:

00:49:40,598 --> 00:49:41,248

So, like,

:

00:49:41,624 --> 00:49:42,154

Mel: Alright.

:

00:49:42,534 --> 00:49:44,124

She talks about talking a big game.

:

00:49:44,134 --> 00:49:44,254

Ha!

:

00:49:45,014 --> 00:49:45,554

Look at her.

:

00:49:46,134 --> 00:49:47,014

She knows.

:

00:49:47,204 --> 00:49:47,324

She

:

00:49:47,594 --> 00:49:48,244

knows.

:

00:49:48,308 --> 00:49:48,728

Sabrina: not kidding.

:

00:49:48,808 --> 00:49:48,998

Like,

:

00:49:49,554 --> 00:49:50,634

Mel: No, no, I'm, I know.

:

00:49:51,288 --> 00:49:51,898

Sabrina: How fucking dare you?

:

00:49:51,898 --> 00:49:52,583

I

:

00:49:52,639 --> 00:49:55,729

Mel: saying that there's a good

reason you talk a big game sometimes.

:

00:49:55,749 --> 00:49:57,829

What do you want from me?

:

00:49:58,649 --> 00:49:59,489

Sabrina: some game.

:

00:50:00,129 --> 00:50:03,919

Most of, most of my game skills

involve taking couples home from the

:

00:50:03,919 --> 00:50:05,819

bar and having 12 hour fuckathons.

:

00:50:06,399 --> 00:50:09,009

So like, I don't know how

to take that as you will.

:

00:50:09,180 --> 00:50:09,680

Mel: That's fair.

:

00:50:09,829 --> 00:50:10,279

Sabrina: But,

:

00:50:10,859 --> 00:50:11,989

regardless, yeah.

:

00:50:11,989 --> 00:50:15,659

so he ends up, he brings a doctor in.

:

00:50:15,669 --> 00:50:18,319

And so he straight up, he

birth controls the shit out of

:

00:50:18,329 --> 00:50:18,599

her.

:

00:50:18,789 --> 00:50:22,729

He fuck, she gets this fancy

shot, which doesn't actually exist

:

00:50:22,729 --> 00:50:23,929

according to the author's note.

:

00:50:23,949 --> 00:50:26,384

Cause she was like It literally,

in the author's note, she's like,

:

00:50:26,384 --> 00:50:29,384

I took a little bit of liberties

with the birth control shot.

:

00:50:29,814 --> 00:50:30,844

Um, but she gets a shot.

:

00:50:30,854 --> 00:50:32,574

She gets an IUD put in immediately.

:

00:50:32,574 --> 00:50:34,084

Apparently she's got a tight, tight

:

00:50:34,104 --> 00:50:35,414

cervix and it's called heart.

:

00:50:35,464 --> 00:50:37,294

and I was like, that's a mood.

:

00:50:37,907 --> 00:50:40,087

And then he's like, yeah,

you're, you're not leaving.

:

00:50:40,097 --> 00:50:41,247

You're here until the 28th.

:

00:50:41,287 --> 00:50:44,317

And she's like, uh, that's not gonna work.

:

00:50:44,623 --> 00:50:47,253

Mel: Yeah, you're here until I

know for sure you're not pregnant.

:

00:50:47,863 --> 00:50:52,412

And, like, you tricked me, so now

you're mine, until I don't want you

:

00:50:52,606 --> 00:50:53,056

Sabrina: hmm.

:

00:50:53,416 --> 00:50:55,556

Yeah, and you're not gonna

have any access to the outside

:

00:50:55,862 --> 00:50:56,362

Mel: Mm hmm.

:

00:50:57,142 --> 00:51:01,032

So, that's what happens, and

at first she's really, really

:

00:51:01,032 --> 00:51:02,852

mad, but then she gets horny.

:

00:51:03,842 --> 00:51:07,662

And, he's like, there are

two rules in my presence.

:

00:51:07,692 --> 00:51:15,002

One, you don't, you don't,

like, are they the same rule?

:

00:51:15,022 --> 00:51:17,202

Is one, you don't come

without me, and the other

:

00:51:17,366 --> 00:51:20,146

Sabrina: You'll follow two

rules when you're with me.

:

00:51:20,376 --> 00:51:24,526

You do not lie, and you do not touch

yourself, unless I've commanded

:

00:51:24,526 --> 00:51:26,186

you to for my entertainment.

:

00:51:27,052 --> 00:51:29,152

Mel: So she's like,

fuck that and fuck you.

:

00:51:29,272 --> 00:51:31,042

I'm going to go touch myself right now.

:

00:51:31,042 --> 00:51:31,872

Bye.

:

00:51:32,292 --> 00:51:35,762

And he walks in being

like, absolutely not.

:

00:51:35,782 --> 00:51:35,912

If

:

00:51:35,922 --> 00:51:36,422

you have

:

00:51:36,422 --> 00:51:38,382

these urges, you come to me.

:

00:51:39,346 --> 00:51:39,846

Sabrina: Mm hmm.

:

00:51:39,866 --> 00:51:43,276

And then he brought his hand her

hand to his mouth to suck his her

:

00:51:43,276 --> 00:51:44,906

middle and forefinger between his

:

00:51:44,906 --> 00:51:45,146

lips.

:

00:51:45,926 --> 00:51:46,436

Uh.

:

00:51:46,952 --> 00:51:47,942

Mel: because this is the

:

00:51:48,066 --> 00:51:49,566

Sabrina: Yeah, he's never gone

:

00:51:49,566 --> 00:51:50,976

down on somebody!

:

00:51:50,996 --> 00:51:54,536

Cause he says it, he's like, I've never

given a shit about if a woman enjoys it.

:

00:51:54,696 --> 00:51:56,606

I just, I'm using them.

:

00:51:56,886 --> 00:51:59,926

And I actually give it, like, for

the first time in my life I care

:

00:51:59,926 --> 00:52:01,656

about you having a good time.

:

00:52:01,932 --> 00:52:02,542

Mel: nuts.

:

00:52:03,482 --> 00:52:04,202

And she has a

:

00:52:04,326 --> 00:52:09,666

Sabrina: And then, they have some hot, hot

sex, and then he gets up and heads out,

:

00:52:09,686 --> 00:52:14,236

and then he walks back in a chastity belt.

:

00:52:14,816 --> 00:52:18,381

Cause he's like, You're not gonna,

you're not allowed to touch yourself.

:

00:52:18,401 --> 00:52:19,631

And so, he does.

:

00:52:19,631 --> 00:52:22,491

He puts it on her before he leaves.

:

00:52:22,931 --> 00:52:23,201

And

:

00:52:23,201 --> 00:52:26,261

he takes the key and

puts it around his neck.

:

00:52:26,671 --> 00:52:28,441

And then he goes to work.

:

00:52:28,631 --> 00:52:29,811

He goes to meetings.

:

00:52:29,817 --> 00:52:31,927

Mel: tries to go to work, but then

:

00:52:31,937 --> 00:52:34,397

he's back two hours later,

:

00:52:35,670 --> 00:52:36,401

Sabrina: AHH!

:

00:52:36,457 --> 00:52:39,167

Mel: and he's like, I couldn't

stop thinking, and like, he opens

:

00:52:39,167 --> 00:52:42,987

the door, she runs across the room

and like, throws her legs around

:

00:52:42,987 --> 00:52:43,297

him,

:

00:52:43,961 --> 00:52:44,721

Sabrina: herself on

:

00:52:44,721 --> 00:52:45,091

him.

:

00:52:45,147 --> 00:52:46,377

Mel: mount each other

:

00:52:46,751 --> 00:52:49,741

Sabrina: Oh my god, and then

they have some fucking hot sex.

:

00:52:49,771 --> 00:52:52,011

And like, this just, oh my god.

:

00:52:52,031 --> 00:52:57,511

And she, but she can't, she

can't um, Because of the IUD,

:

00:52:57,571 --> 00:52:59,501

she cannot have penetrative sex

:

00:52:59,657 --> 00:53:00,717

Mel: for a minute, yeah.

:

00:53:00,751 --> 00:53:02,411

Sabrina: don't they do anal?

:

00:53:02,807 --> 00:53:05,427

Mel: mm mm, no, that's

not until the wedding.

:

00:53:06,267 --> 00:53:11,257

So what they do now Is he puts her

in the chastity belt and then that

:

00:53:11,257 --> 00:53:12,867

night he's like, okay, go to sleep.

:

00:53:12,957 --> 00:53:14,927

And she's like trying

to like hump the bed.

:

00:53:14,967 --> 00:53:18,887

She's so horny, but she can't like get

any, you know, friction or anything.

:

00:53:19,438 --> 00:53:19,857

Sabrina: Uh huh!

:

00:53:19,971 --> 00:53:22,998

Mel: the morning she wakes him

up by like licking his dick and

:

00:53:22,998 --> 00:53:24,368

his balls or something like that.

:

00:53:24,768 --> 00:53:28,298

And cause he says like, you can

only get the chastity belt off if

:

00:53:28,308 --> 00:53:30,008

you convince me to take it off.

:

00:53:30,018 --> 00:53:32,658

And she's like, okay, slurp, slurp a derp.

:

00:53:33,228 --> 00:53:36,528

And then he goes, so he takes it

off and he goes, okay, ride me.

:

00:53:37,088 --> 00:53:41,458

And she goes to hop on his dick, and he's

like, No, I cannot be inside you until

:

00:53:41,458 --> 00:53:42,018

later.

:

00:53:42,348 --> 00:53:42,878

This.

:

00:53:43,518 --> 00:53:43,718

I

:

00:53:43,852 --> 00:53:44,952

Sabrina: sit, man!

:

00:53:45,258 --> 00:53:45,968

Mel: a face sit.

:

00:53:47,197 --> 00:53:47,857

Sabrina: I do, too.

:

00:53:47,867 --> 00:53:50,917

Like, every time it happens in a

book, I'm just, like, ecstatic.

:

00:53:50,927 --> 00:53:53,927

Like, that is one thing, like, all three

of these books, there's, like, sexy

:

00:53:53,927 --> 00:53:55,947

stuff in there that I just do not see

:

00:53:55,947 --> 00:53:56,267

often

:

00:53:56,288 --> 00:53:56,938

Mel: I know.

:

00:53:57,327 --> 00:53:58,577

Sabrina: and it just, oh, God.

:

00:53:58,688 --> 00:53:59,148

Mel: hmm.

:

00:53:59,337 --> 00:54:00,487

Sabrina: love a face sit.

:

00:54:00,518 --> 00:54:03,648

Mel: So she sits on his

face, and he loves it.

:

00:54:03,911 --> 00:54:05,011

So then he tries to go to work

:

00:54:05,011 --> 00:54:05,461

again.

:

00:54:05,761 --> 00:54:07,441

And she gets really fucking pissed.

:

00:54:07,441 --> 00:54:08,761

And she's fucking bored.

:

00:54:09,111 --> 00:54:10,661

So she just starts ordering.

:

00:54:10,761 --> 00:54:12,011

She also has no clothes.

:

00:54:12,071 --> 00:54:13,141

She has nothing there.

:

00:54:13,141 --> 00:54:15,821

She doesn't like, she only has, like,

the hotel toothbrush or whatever.

:

00:54:16,020 --> 00:54:19,210

Sabrina: starts, like,

ordering shit, clothing,

:

00:54:19,241 --> 00:54:19,761

Mel: All of it.

:

00:54:20,050 --> 00:54:20,430

Sabrina: she,

:

00:54:21,056 --> 00:54:24,726

Mel: Then she orders drinks for

the entire hotel that day, she

:

00:54:24,726 --> 00:54:29,406

orders a treadmill, she orders,

like, everything her heart desires,

:

00:54:30,370 --> 00:54:33,080

Sabrina: They also, she

has started ticking off.

:

00:54:33,425 --> 00:54:38,015

On the mirror, with a sharpie, how many

days she's there, like, she's in fucking

:

00:54:38,015 --> 00:54:38,595

prison.

:

00:54:38,945 --> 00:54:41,805

Like, yeah, it was great!

:

00:54:41,885 --> 00:54:44,545

And like, they start, like, this,

like, this happens throughout the

:

00:54:44,545 --> 00:54:47,555

book, but they're like, writing each

other notes back and forth, like,

:

00:54:47,575 --> 00:54:48,635

after, like, the fifth

:

00:54:48,645 --> 00:54:50,505

day of her being there.

:

00:54:50,735 --> 00:54:52,815

And it's just like, it's just so hot.

:

00:54:52,815 --> 00:54:55,585

So he has these, like, People

over because they are trying to

:

00:54:55,595 --> 00:54:57,925

woo him to join their business

:

00:54:57,935 --> 00:55:02,585

prospect stuff And so they're there

and she walks into the fucking

:

00:55:02,625 --> 00:55:03,265

um,

:

00:55:03,406 --> 00:55:03,676

Mel: her.

:

00:55:03,996 --> 00:55:08,556

Stay hidden don't come out and she's

just like walking around in just her

:

00:55:08,556 --> 00:55:14,366

little thong and bathing suit and

stuff And then she goes in and puts

:

00:55:14,366 --> 00:55:18,896

on her like running gear to get on

her brand new treadmill I'm sorry that

:

00:55:18,896 --> 00:55:25,410

just like blew my mind and Then she goes

out and she's like, oh, I'm so sorry boys.

:

00:55:25,410 --> 00:55:27,309

Oh, I'm just so

:

00:55:27,309 --> 00:55:28,258

dumb No,

:

00:55:28,295 --> 00:55:32,625

Sabrina: not wearing her chastity belt

and so she's like all of them can't stop

:

00:55:32,625 --> 00:55:35,915

looking at her and like all of them are

like So, like, you gonna share, Sebastian?

:

00:55:36,595 --> 00:55:40,675

Or, like And he's like, absolutely not.

:

00:55:40,915 --> 00:55:45,705

And she, to end this, though, she,

like, leans down and bites his ear.

:

00:55:45,705 --> 00:55:48,635

And she's like, have fun in your

stodgy meeting and know that

:

00:55:48,635 --> 00:55:52,965

once I've logged my miles, I'm

going to finger myself furiously.

:

00:55:53,185 --> 00:55:56,745

And then she stands up, smiles

at everybody, and then just,

:

00:55:56,986 --> 00:55:58,246

Mel: Bye, boys!

:

00:55:58,246 --> 00:56:00,766

So,

:

00:56:02,066 --> 00:56:06,156

she gets off the treadmill, and she's

in the shower, and he is at the door

:

00:56:06,176 --> 00:56:08,586

being like, you did not follow the rules.

:

00:56:08,606 --> 00:56:10,186

And she's like, but I

thought you were in meetings!

:

00:56:10,206 --> 00:56:13,696

And he's like, no, as soon as I heard your

treadmill turn off, I called the meeting,

:

00:56:13,846 --> 00:56:15,346

and I told them we had to reschedule.

:

00:56:15,366 --> 00:56:16,286

So here I am.

:

00:56:16,996 --> 00:56:21,796

And then they do one of the sexiest,

most possessive shower fucks.

:

00:56:22,784 --> 00:56:24,194

I've ever read in a book.

:

00:56:25,178 --> 00:56:26,258

It's so hot.

:

00:56:27,008 --> 00:56:27,948

Sabrina: was good.

:

00:56:28,048 --> 00:56:30,648

I don't remember what

about it was so possessive.

:

00:56:30,728 --> 00:56:31,878

It was just him talking to

:

00:56:31,878 --> 00:56:32,208

her?

:

00:56:32,544 --> 00:56:33,114

Mel: He was like

:

00:56:33,124 --> 00:56:33,354

this

:

00:56:33,488 --> 00:56:34,638

Sabrina: is my pussy?

:

00:56:35,298 --> 00:56:35,778

Yep.

:

00:56:35,878 --> 00:56:36,008

Mm

:

00:56:36,018 --> 00:56:36,298

hmm.

:

00:56:36,348 --> 00:56:36,688

Okay.

:

00:56:36,908 --> 00:56:40,898

I couldn't I I wasn't sure Sorry,

I I'll be honest, um, the shower

:

00:56:40,898 --> 00:56:45,148

scene in the third book completely

wiped this shower scene from

:

00:56:45,148 --> 00:56:45,608

my memory.

:

00:56:46,544 --> 00:56:47,274

Mel: Yeah, that makes sense.

:

00:56:47,740 --> 00:56:48,260

That's fair.

:

00:56:48,664 --> 00:56:51,184

Sabrina: But yeah, after the shower,

after they fuck, he takes her back

:

00:56:51,184 --> 00:56:54,754

into the bedroom and then they do

some more fucking kind of stuff, but

:

00:56:54,754 --> 00:56:58,254

he's like, I am going to whip you.

:

00:56:58,614 --> 00:56:59,804

Because you need a punishment.

:

00:56:59,834 --> 00:57:02,024

And she's like, you don't get to do that.

:

00:57:02,064 --> 00:57:03,594

Like, you don't get to abuse me.

:

00:57:03,874 --> 00:57:05,794

And he's like, it's not abuse.

:

00:57:05,824 --> 00:57:07,794

Abuse is one way with the intent to hurt.

:

00:57:07,804 --> 00:57:11,844

What I do with you is shared pleasure

and is a two way interaction.

:

00:57:11,984 --> 00:57:14,854

I'll be assessing your response as usual.

:

00:57:15,184 --> 00:57:19,094

And so he's been like, keeping an eye

on like, her eyes dilating and her

:

00:57:19,104 --> 00:57:20,954

heart rate when he holds her wrists.

:

00:57:20,964 --> 00:57:23,954

He keeps like, one finger on her pulse.

:

00:57:24,224 --> 00:57:26,816

And like, Checking, like,

the flush of her skin.

:

00:57:26,856 --> 00:57:29,896

So he's, like, checking her

bodily reactions to all of these

:

00:57:29,906 --> 00:57:33,436

things and, like, him talking

about all of that was so fucking

:

00:57:33,496 --> 00:57:34,156

hot.

:

00:57:34,206 --> 00:57:34,636

I was

:

00:57:34,787 --> 00:57:35,717

Mel: boner.

:

00:57:35,817 --> 00:57:36,107

like,

:

00:57:36,117 --> 00:57:36,287

it's

:

00:57:36,287 --> 00:57:37,567

such a competence boner.

:

00:57:37,807 --> 00:57:41,007

But also, like, I have, here's

one issue I had with this.

:

00:57:41,556 --> 00:57:42,026

Sabrina: Uh huh.

:

00:57:42,447 --> 00:57:46,160

Mel: It's the same issue I have

with him just, like, being, no.

:

00:57:46,370 --> 00:57:46,590

No.

:

00:57:46,690 --> 00:57:49,660

With him just being a

natural cunnilinguist.

:

00:57:50,405 --> 00:57:57,575

You know, he spent his entire adult life,

what he does, like, isn't really BDSM,

:

00:57:58,105 --> 00:58:02,345

right, because even though the people

are consenting, like, they're not really,

:

00:58:02,345 --> 00:58:05,415

there's a weird power dynamic, there's

a bunch of shit, he doesn't care if they

:

00:58:05,415 --> 00:58:07,095

get off or not, he doesn't care if they're

:

00:58:07,239 --> 00:58:07,799

Sabrina: Yeah.

:

00:58:08,255 --> 00:58:10,095

Mel: So, being like a master

:

00:58:10,409 --> 00:58:12,579

Sabrina: Whimsy, whimsy, Whimsy, whimsy,

:

00:58:12,579 --> 00:58:13,119

whimsy.

:

00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:13,750

Mel: right, you're

:

00:58:13,750 --> 00:58:14,070

right

:

00:58:15,179 --> 00:58:16,099

Sabrina: right past it.

:

00:58:16,370 --> 00:58:17,900

Mel: I did, too, for the record.

:

00:58:18,350 --> 00:58:19,920

But I did want to say it out loud.

:

00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,920

Yeah, so he does some spanks on her.

:

00:58:24,459 --> 00:58:27,729

Sabrina: Oh, and at one point he is like,

well, I don't remember exactly what it is.

:

00:58:27,779 --> 00:58:30,989

Literally all I have highlighted though,

and I know why I highlighted this

:

00:58:30,989 --> 00:58:34,409

because it touched me and also like

later in the book, it's gonna hurt me.

:

00:58:34,959 --> 00:58:39,829

Is, he says, If I lick your

flesh, will I taste the sun?

:

00:58:40,289 --> 00:58:42,079

Cause she's been all tanned

:

00:58:42,310 --> 00:58:44,110

Mel: She's been sunning all day.

:

00:58:45,045 --> 00:58:45,835

Will I

:

00:58:45,875 --> 00:58:46,855

taste the

:

00:58:46,859 --> 00:58:47,709

Sabrina: that's gonna hurt.

:

00:58:47,959 --> 00:58:49,439

The sun, yeah.

:

00:58:49,439 --> 00:58:52,189

And so, oh, and then this was so

funny because like, they're doing

:

00:58:52,189 --> 00:58:54,649

something, like, I don't remember

exactly what it was either here,

:

00:58:54,649 --> 00:58:56,849

but, uh, he, she's like, just wait.

:

00:58:56,859 --> 00:58:57,909

And he's like, for what?

:

00:58:57,939 --> 00:59:00,129

And she's like, I'm doing a risk reward

:

00:59:00,129 --> 00:59:00,919

analysis.

:

00:59:01,279 --> 00:59:03,399

And he's like, risk reward.

:

00:59:03,619 --> 00:59:06,159

I don't know whether to

kiss you or whip you harder.

:

00:59:06,199 --> 00:59:07,559

And I was like, heh.

:

00:59:08,895 --> 00:59:10,265

Mel: Both, Both, both,

:

00:59:11,619 --> 00:59:12,289

Sabrina: Yeah, it

:

00:59:12,289 --> 00:59:12,729

was.

:

00:59:12,765 --> 00:59:16,265

Mel: anyway, the next thing that

happens is, he hates Christmas.

:

00:59:17,365 --> 00:59:18,735

And she finds out Oh.

:

00:59:19,249 --> 00:59:20,189

Sabrina: This is important.

:

00:59:20,959 --> 00:59:23,039

At one point he puts the chastity belt in

:

00:59:23,039 --> 00:59:24,879

her, but it has two plugs

:

00:59:25,035 --> 00:59:26,225

Mel: has plugs in it now.

:

00:59:26,489 --> 00:59:27,039

Sabrina: and a butt

:

00:59:27,049 --> 00:59:31,159

plug and he leaves to go to work and

he only makes it like, he barely even

:

00:59:31,159 --> 00:59:34,799

makes it out the fucking door before

he's back and she's like wet as hell and

:

00:59:34,839 --> 00:59:36,759

like then they just go to pound town.

:

00:59:37,079 --> 00:59:37,349

It was great.

:

00:59:38,325 --> 00:59:38,535

Mel: It's

:

00:59:38,709 --> 00:59:38,999

Sabrina: loved.

:

00:59:38,999 --> 00:59:40,209

So, like, that's one thing.

:

00:59:40,209 --> 00:59:43,579

Like, I'm saying all this shit

about like, there's not enough face

:

00:59:43,599 --> 00:59:44,829

sitting in a fucking butt plug.

:

00:59:45,469 --> 00:59:48,859

There's not enough

chastity in BDSM romance,

:

00:59:48,919 --> 00:59:49,389

like,

:

00:59:50,715 --> 00:59:51,355

Mel: I didn't

:

00:59:51,359 --> 00:59:54,849

Sabrina: if it's done

right, I love chastity.

:

00:59:54,969 --> 00:59:58,029

Like, on both I don't

know that I've ever seen

:

00:59:58,065 --> 00:59:58,595

Mel: I've never seen

:

00:59:58,595 --> 00:59:58,835

a boy

:

00:59:58,939 --> 00:59:59,999

Sabrina: penile chastity.

:

00:59:59,999 --> 01:00:00,639

in a book.

:

01:00:01,805 --> 01:00:02,255

Mel: No.

:

01:00:02,899 --> 01:00:04,869

Sabrina: You know what else

I've never seen in a romance

:

01:00:05,229 --> 01:00:06,199

novel, or even in erotica?

:

01:00:06,405 --> 01:00:06,825

Mel: Tell me.

:

01:00:06,979 --> 01:00:08,509

Sabrina: seen CBT either.

:

01:00:08,875 --> 01:00:09,315

Mel: No.

:

01:00:09,335 --> 01:00:10,425

That's tough to write.

:

01:00:10,465 --> 01:00:11,275

That's tough.

:

01:00:12,175 --> 01:00:12,605

real tough

:

01:00:12,629 --> 01:00:12,819

Sabrina: And I

:

01:00:12,915 --> 01:00:13,285

Mel: hot.

:

01:00:13,469 --> 01:00:15,589

Sabrina: I understand that

that would be hard to write,

:

01:00:15,609 --> 01:00:16,139

but like,

:

01:00:16,888 --> 01:00:17,498

You fix Christmas.

It's so cute.

01:01:12,432 --> 01:01:12,772

Sabrina: Yeah.

01:01:12,803 --> 01:01:15,943

01:01:16,322 --> 01:01:16,932

Sabrina: I

01:01:17,300 --> 01:01:19,153

Mel: so glad.

:

01:01:19,452 --> 01:01:22,472

Sabrina: handle you and accents.

:

01:01:23,057 --> 01:01:24,477

You kill me.

:

01:01:24,857 --> 01:01:28,897

Every fuck I'm such a slut for

an accent, and then you just

:

01:01:28,897 --> 01:01:31,967

like, you salt that salt meme.

:

01:01:32,377 --> 01:01:40,127

It just like, randomly, and

I'm just like, every time.

:

01:01:41,227 --> 01:01:44,517

It's happened a couple of times when

you do fucking casette, like, you start

:

01:01:44,517 --> 01:01:47,127

like, talking, and I'm like, fuck, shit.

:

01:01:49,893 --> 01:01:50,063

Mel: I'm

:

01:01:50,063 --> 01:01:50,403

not going to

:

01:01:50,403 --> 01:01:50,583

lie

:

01:01:50,617 --> 01:01:54,727

Sabrina: expecting it, I was

expecting it, but then like, I

:

01:01:54,727 --> 01:01:56,667

was not expecting the Vasili one.

:

01:01:56,677 --> 01:02:02,517

Like, I was just living my best

life, and then it better, but worse.

:

01:02:03,977 --> 01:02:04,977

Anyway,

:

01:02:05,973 --> 01:02:06,303

Mel: So yeah,

:

01:02:06,303 --> 01:02:09,053

she cooks for everybody and it's so cute.

:

01:02:09,053 --> 01:02:09,463

What?

:

01:02:09,877 --> 01:02:14,527

Sabrina: one thing that's very important

is he is convinced she has a lover.

:

01:02:14,937 --> 01:02:16,377

And that's why she can't stay with

:

01:02:16,383 --> 01:02:16,873

Mel: with it.

:

01:02:16,957 --> 01:02:18,247

Sabrina: so fucking jealous.

:

01:02:18,247 --> 01:02:20,237

Like, he is so convinced.

:

01:02:20,577 --> 01:02:27,502

Yeah, and he is like, This ends up being

a thing in the book where you find out

:

01:02:27,792 --> 01:02:34,562

that he, so she got a phone smuggled

into her, and she's talking to her

:

01:02:34,562 --> 01:02:40,702

friend Ivana on the phone about stuff,

and he has the whole apartment bugged.

:

01:02:40,997 --> 01:02:42,557

And so he can hear everything.

:

01:02:42,787 --> 01:02:47,877

And so she never tells Ivana anything

directly, because obviously don't

:

01:02:47,887 --> 01:02:50,777

tell people anything, don't trust

anybody, et cetera, et cetera.

:

01:02:51,207 --> 01:02:57,057

But she says enough to Ivana that he

gets the gist that there is somebody,

:

01:02:57,077 --> 01:03:02,517

but he thinks it's a lover and

not her ex husband who's trying or

:

01:03:02,847 --> 01:03:04,017

current husband

:

01:03:04,163 --> 01:03:04,303

Mel: her.

:

01:03:04,303 --> 01:03:04,623

Yeah.

:

01:03:05,197 --> 01:03:05,657

Sabrina: trying to

:

01:03:06,023 --> 01:03:06,263

Mel: Yeah.

:

01:03:06,263 --> 01:03:09,723

What she says to Ivana is, Ivana says,

well, are you involved with someone?

:

01:03:10,168 --> 01:03:14,968

And she goes, well, in a

way, because he's right.

:

01:03:14,978 --> 01:03:19,408

He keeps on saying every time you like

get that, that far off look, I know

:

01:03:19,408 --> 01:03:24,028

you're thinking about another man and

he thinks it's in a sexy longing way.

:

01:03:24,258 --> 01:03:27,868

And she's like, yeah, I mean, I

am, but I'm, I'm thinking about how

:

01:03:27,908 --> 01:03:32,598

terrified I am that this man is going

to find me and kill me to death.

:

01:03:33,288 --> 01:03:33,788

So.

:

01:03:34,103 --> 01:03:38,963

Yeah, she tells Ivana, I'm, I'm sort

of involved with someone, but she

:

01:03:38,963 --> 01:03:40,903

doesn't say, but not romantically.

:

01:03:41,607 --> 01:03:42,137

Sabrina: Mhm.

:

01:03:42,217 --> 01:03:43,737

And so that just, that's gonna come back.

:

01:03:43,767 --> 01:03:47,127

So like he is, like throughout this

entire book, he is convinced that she has

:

01:03:47,137 --> 01:03:49,627

somebody and he is outrageously jealous.

:

01:03:50,367 --> 01:03:53,877

But Christmas was super cute because

like she told him a story about

:

01:03:53,877 --> 01:03:55,977

a red scarf and that comes back.

:

01:03:56,327 --> 01:03:59,607

And like she tells, like she

opens up a little bit about

:

01:03:59,607 --> 01:04:01,774

stuff that probably won't.

:

01:04:02,114 --> 01:04:05,154

Because, like, she's terrified of sharing

anything because, like, he thinks she's

:

01:04:05,174 --> 01:04:08,674

26, but at the very least, you know,

she's in her 20s, and so she's like,

:

01:04:09,124 --> 01:04:11,514

She, he can search, you know, Cuban,

:

01:04:11,864 --> 01:04:16,674

26 year old, like, only child, so

she's trying not to give him anything

:

01:04:16,674 --> 01:04:18,334

that he can find her stuff online.

:

01:04:18,874 --> 01:04:22,974

But, on Christmas, Maxime is fucked up.

:

01:04:23,214 --> 01:04:24,404

Like, he is

:

01:04:24,710 --> 01:04:25,080

Mel: bear.

:

01:04:26,399 --> 01:04:26,569

Sabrina: Mm hmm.

:

01:04:26,829 --> 01:04:31,249

And he starts talking though, at

one point, and he's like, Alexander

:

01:04:31,249 --> 01:04:33,869

has changed for her, for the better.

:

01:04:34,419 --> 01:04:38,209

I didn't think it was possible

for men our age to change.

:

01:04:38,609 --> 01:04:39,503

What do you think?

:

01:04:40,217 --> 01:04:41,596

It's your job to know men.

:

01:04:41,677 --> 01:04:44,567

And it's like, one, it's not her job,

:

01:04:45,437 --> 01:04:48,577

because he doesn't believe her

that she's not an escort either.

:

01:04:48,587 --> 01:04:51,677

He fully believes that she's an escort,

and that's part of the reason he

:

01:04:51,677 --> 01:04:55,297

doesn't want her to leave the penthouse,

the hotel, is because he assumes

:

01:04:55,297 --> 01:04:56,947

that she's going out to meet other

:

01:04:57,578 --> 01:04:58,138

Mel: Mm hmm.

:

01:04:58,388 --> 01:05:02,608

And he won't, he refuses to believe

that she, that he is her first client.

:

01:05:03,692 --> 01:05:04,252

Sabrina: hmm.

:

01:05:04,928 --> 01:05:05,388

Mel: He's like, you

:

01:05:05,502 --> 01:05:05,922

Sabrina: And so

:

01:05:06,002 --> 01:05:11,832

he ends up, this was, this book was

like whiplash compared to the first book

:

01:05:11,832 --> 01:05:17,502

where like Alexander Roman wouldn't say

anything, wouldn't tell anything and

:

01:05:17,502 --> 01:05:21,612

then Maximilian's like here are all of

my deepest traumas because he fucking, in

:

01:05:21,612 --> 01:05:24,112

this one week, he tells her everything.

:

01:05:24,302 --> 01:05:27,092

She knows all about his

past and like all of

:

01:05:27,148 --> 01:05:27,828

Mel: And we find out

:

01:05:27,912 --> 01:05:28,482

Sabrina: so like,

:

01:05:28,778 --> 01:05:30,348

Mel: he's trying to win her.

:

01:05:31,408 --> 01:05:34,728

Like, we find out later he has heard

that conversation, and his whole,

:

01:05:34,928 --> 01:05:40,768

his whole strategy is, I will just

treat her incredibly, and I will woo

:

01:05:40,778 --> 01:05:43,288

her away from whatever man this is.

:

01:05:44,402 --> 01:05:44,832

Sabrina: mm hmm.

:

01:05:45,192 --> 01:05:47,002

So their week is coming up.

:

01:05:47,093 --> 01:05:47,543

Mel: yeah,

:

01:05:47,612 --> 01:05:49,302

Sabrina: We're coming up

on the end of the, to the,

:

01:05:49,302 --> 01:05:50,962

28th and he's going to,

:

01:05:51,323 --> 01:05:52,033

Mel: wait real quick.

:

01:05:52,043 --> 01:05:52,633

So, sorry.

:

01:05:53,283 --> 01:05:57,473

The, the segue into this, because

the 28th is coming up, but after

:

01:05:57,473 --> 01:05:59,293

Christmas, she fixes Christmas.

:

01:05:59,542 --> 01:06:00,602

Sabrina: there's a wedding.

:

01:06:00,983 --> 01:06:04,963

Mel: Yeah, so, um, Alex is getting

married to Natalie, and he has to

:

01:06:04,963 --> 01:06:06,523

go to Nebraska for the wedding.

:

01:06:06,653 --> 01:06:10,073

He's leaving on the 28th, and that's

always been their, like, done date.

:

01:06:10,763 --> 01:06:15,553

But then, a couple of days

before, he gifts her a laptop.

:

01:06:16,553 --> 01:06:20,553

And he says, I have a bunch of

business proposals and like real estate

:

01:06:20,553 --> 01:06:23,513

proposals that I want to look at.

:

01:06:23,513 --> 01:06:26,573

And I want you to tell me

like your take on which ones.

:

01:06:26,913 --> 01:06:31,673

So they spend all day being

business and economy nerds together.

:

01:06:31,973 --> 01:06:37,633

And she is, she's just like, Oh my gosh,

this is the best I get to like do work.

:

01:06:38,373 --> 01:06:39,363

She does this whole thing.

:

01:06:39,643 --> 01:06:42,763

He loves the way she thinks.

:

01:06:43,273 --> 01:06:45,483

She really wants him to like go

:

01:06:45,483 --> 01:06:45,743

after

:

01:06:45,743 --> 01:06:46,883

this shithole.

:

01:06:47,183 --> 01:06:48,123

He does.

:

01:06:48,233 --> 01:06:48,723

Yeah.

:

01:06:49,433 --> 01:06:53,783

And then she reads his proposal, like

his notes and everything, his breakdown.

:

01:06:53,783 --> 01:06:56,973

And she's like, Oh my

God, his brain is so hot.

:

01:06:56,983 --> 01:06:58,563

Like, I don't know what to do with myself.

:

01:06:59,243 --> 01:07:03,213

And then as he's getting up to like

go get a snack from the kitchen

:

01:07:03,233 --> 01:07:06,563

or something, he just says, You're

coming with me to the wedding.

:

01:07:07,613 --> 01:07:08,443

And she's like, what?

:

01:07:08,443 --> 01:07:10,093

No, no, I super am not.

:

01:07:10,413 --> 01:07:11,793

And he's like, no, no,

no, you absolutely are.

:

01:07:11,793 --> 01:07:18,793

And don't worry, I expect a rigorous

negotiation for, like, price.

:

01:07:19,193 --> 01:07:23,583

And she's like, okay, this is all weird.

:

01:07:24,263 --> 01:07:26,623

And then she's like, no, I'm

absolutely not doing that.

:

01:07:26,973 --> 01:07:35,188

And then he does a, your safe word is

Yeah, forced orgasms, and your safe

:

01:07:35,188 --> 01:07:36,908

word is yes, I'll go to the wedding.

:

01:07:36,918 --> 01:07:37,918

I'm not stopping!

:

01:07:38,988 --> 01:07:43,038

Until you say you're going to the wedding

with me, Sabrina, this was fucked up.

:

01:07:43,342 --> 01:07:45,902

Sabrina: is so fucked up and problematic.

:

01:07:48,247 --> 01:07:48,407

It

:

01:07:48,563 --> 01:07:48,943

Mel: And also

:

01:07:48,943 --> 01:07:49,353

hot.

:

01:07:49,573 --> 01:07:49,713

Oh no!

:

01:07:50,083 --> 01:07:50,103

It

:

01:07:50,103 --> 01:07:50,603

was hot!

:

01:07:50,693 --> 01:07:51,543

Oh no!

:

01:07:54,323 --> 01:07:54,713

Yeah.

:

01:07:55,917 --> 01:07:57,967

Sabrina: Yeah, it was, it was real

:

01:07:57,967 --> 01:07:58,447

great.

:

01:07:58,547 --> 01:07:59,317

Uh, but

:

01:07:59,317 --> 01:08:00,307

also terrible.

:

01:08:00,337 --> 01:08:00,596

It was

:

01:08:00,753 --> 01:08:02,953

Mel: terrible, bad.

:

01:08:02,953 --> 01:08:03,673

bad, bad.

:

01:08:03,673 --> 01:08:04,333

so hot.

:

01:08:05,013 --> 01:08:11,363

He duct tapes a Hitachi magic wand to her

thigh, up, like, on her clit, and like,

:

01:08:11,563 --> 01:08:15,443

you won't let her up until she says, yeah,

I'm gonna go to the wedding with you.

:

01:08:16,063 --> 01:08:18,563

And so, eventually, she does.

:

01:08:19,523 --> 01:08:24,752

And then she has to move the test she was

gonna take, to like another, like, New

:

01:08:24,752 --> 01:08:25,553

Year's Eve.

:

01:08:25,702 --> 01:08:26,303

Yeah.

:

01:08:26,676 --> 01:08:27,167

Sabrina: Mm hmm.

:

01:08:27,603 --> 01:08:29,023

Mel: And they're going to the wedding now.

:

01:08:29,895 --> 01:08:30,755

So that's hot.

:

01:08:31,272 --> 01:08:32,381

The wedding's amazing.

:

01:08:32,591 --> 01:08:34,642

They fuck on the plane, on

:

01:08:34,696 --> 01:08:36,246

Sabrina: Well, one last thing.

:

01:08:36,486 --> 01:08:37,486

One last thing.

:

01:08:37,756 --> 01:08:42,276

In this entire thing, he's

saying, like, what do you, she's

:

01:08:42,276 --> 01:08:43,616

like, what do you want from

:

01:08:43,616 --> 01:08:43,996

me?

:

01:08:44,015 --> 01:08:45,746

And he says, everything.

:

01:08:46,046 --> 01:08:47,426

And I'll have it out of you.

:

01:08:47,435 --> 01:08:49,656

31 years of misery is lifted.

:

01:08:49,756 --> 01:08:51,116

I'm owed you.

:

01:08:52,001 --> 01:08:54,631

And she, like, they're going

back and forth, and he's like,

:

01:08:54,631 --> 01:08:56,001

tell me I'm, you're mine.

:

01:08:56,251 --> 01:08:58,651

And she's like, I won't tell

you that, I won't do, and

:

01:08:58,651 --> 01:09:00,770

he, like, he's like, why not?

:

01:09:00,831 --> 01:09:01,810

Just tell me?

:

01:09:02,551 --> 01:09:07,020

And she says, when this ends,

I want to be left in one piece.

:

01:09:07,051 --> 01:09:10,850

Because as far as she's aware, and

as far as she's concerned, once they,

:

01:09:10,861 --> 01:09:14,821

they have an end date, once this is

over, it's over, and she has already

:

01:09:14,821 --> 01:09:16,281

started to fall in love with him.

:

01:09:16,671 --> 01:09:21,566

Like, she is Not looking

forward to the heartbreak

:

01:09:21,595 --> 01:09:23,916

that is inevitable, essentially.

:

01:09:24,051 --> 01:09:24,841

Mel: he hasn't,

:

01:09:24,906 --> 01:09:25,246

Sabrina: Um,

:

01:09:25,556 --> 01:09:28,206

and he says, Your heart in one piece?

:

01:09:28,895 --> 01:09:30,046

Too fucking late.

:

01:09:30,376 --> 01:09:32,095

Might as well enjoy the fall.

:

01:09:32,446 --> 01:09:33,276

And I was like,

:

01:09:34,112 --> 01:09:38,292

Mel: Maxim, that's not,

that's, that's not reassuring.

:

01:09:38,822 --> 01:09:39,812

Like, aren't

:

01:09:39,812 --> 01:09:41,242

you supposed to reassure her

:

01:09:41,272 --> 01:09:41,381

at

:

01:09:41,381 --> 01:09:41,612

that

:

01:09:41,626 --> 01:09:42,106

Sabrina: Fuck.

:

01:09:42,178 --> 01:09:43,836

You need to give her some words, my

:

01:09:44,162 --> 01:09:44,182

Mel: point?

:

01:09:44,322 --> 01:09:48,192

Yeah, you need to tell her that you want

to date her and stop joking about how

:

01:09:48,192 --> 01:09:52,392

much it's going to cost you to do extra

shit with her, you know, like you, it's

:

01:09:52,402 --> 01:09:58,502

your job as the client to change this

relationship from business to personal,

:

01:09:58,512 --> 01:10:00,752

or at least float the idea, you know?

:

01:10:01,567 --> 01:10:07,477

Meanwhile, she's finding out about his

past and now thinking like, Oh shit, he

:

01:10:07,477 --> 01:10:12,357

could maybe be like a partner and like a

teammate and somebody who could help me

:

01:10:12,731 --> 01:10:14,151

Sabrina: I could trust.

:

01:10:14,217 --> 01:10:15,847

Mel: and get help with Edward.

:

01:10:16,307 --> 01:10:18,967

Help protect me from

Edward, help defeat Edward.

:

01:10:19,977 --> 01:10:21,687

And so she's really grappling with that.

:

01:10:22,177 --> 01:10:28,652

They go to this wedding and

he is In full boyfriend mode.

:

01:10:29,193 --> 01:10:30,423

He is introducing her as

:

01:10:30,452 --> 01:10:33,972

Sabrina: So the reason, by the way,

the reason that this, I mentioned

:

01:10:33,992 --> 01:10:37,252

the red scarf thing earlier, is

he got her some clothes and stuff

:

01:10:37,252 --> 01:10:39,182

for Nebraska because it's winter,

:

01:10:39,223 --> 01:10:39,702

Mel: Mm hmm.

:

01:10:39,982 --> 01:10:42,422

Sabrina: got her a scarf.

:

01:10:42,422 --> 01:10:43,541

My

:

01:10:43,677 --> 01:10:45,387

Mel: Because it was something

she really wanted as a kid.

:

01:10:46,127 --> 01:10:48,646

her, her mom was like,

you're doing this out of

:

01:10:48,646 --> 01:10:49,046

pride.

:

01:10:49,046 --> 01:10:49,156

Give

:

01:10:49,180 --> 01:10:50,990

Sabrina: grandma made her one.

:

01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:51,800

Yeah.

:

01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:53,160

Oh, God.

:

01:10:53,170 --> 01:10:57,320

It was just super cute and

it just gave me the fuzzies.

:

01:10:57,506 --> 01:10:59,966

Mel: So he's introducing her as his woman.

:

01:11:00,966 --> 01:11:04,676

He's like, getting really

jealous when farmers look at her.

:

01:11:04,926 --> 01:11:06,476

They're just Iowa people.

:

01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:08,470

Sabrina: Nebraska farmers.

:

01:11:08,726 --> 01:11:10,106

Mel: they're Nebraskan, sorry.

:

01:11:10,756 --> 01:11:12,716

And he will only refer to them as farmers.

:

01:11:12,831 --> 01:11:14,888

he takes her riding.

:

01:11:15,098 --> 01:11:18,248

He fucks her in a

covered bridge, you know?

:

01:11:18,268 --> 01:11:21,238

Like, this is fucking romance, okay?

:

01:11:22,102 --> 01:11:25,372

Sabrina: Well, at this point we see

something from Maxime's point of view

:

01:11:25,492 --> 01:11:31,790

when, Alex, well not from his, I guess

it would have been from, we don't see it.

:

01:11:31,790 --> 01:11:32,647

How would this

:

01:11:32,673 --> 01:11:33,733

Mel: never in his.

:

01:11:33,747 --> 01:11:38,228

Sabrina: Well, so what I have

highlighted was Oh, Alex mentions

:

01:11:38,228 --> 01:11:42,338

it to Maxime in front of her, and

he says, I've never seen you happy.

:

01:11:42,928 --> 01:11:45,568

And Maxime says, Happy?

:

01:11:46,588 --> 01:11:47,758

I suppose I am.

:

01:11:48,163 --> 01:11:52,363

And that's when my heart dropped

out of my asshole because I

:

01:11:52,363 --> 01:11:54,693

was like, It's about to be bad.

:

01:11:55,104 --> 01:11:56,144

Mel: It's going to be terrible.

:

01:11:56,224 --> 01:11:56,524

Yeah.

:

01:11:56,664 --> 01:12:01,254

Also he's calling her, he's

calling her Solnishka, which is

:

01:12:01,314 --> 01:12:04,304

like my son, my personal son.

:

01:12:04,913 --> 01:12:06,013

Sabrina: Yes.

:

01:12:06,204 --> 01:12:12,244

Mel: And we find out at this place,

like she finally asks about his past

:

01:12:12,244 --> 01:12:16,112

and he's like, Oh my God, finally,

like you're finally interested in me.

:

01:12:16,222 --> 01:12:17,672

And that's so exciting.

:

01:12:18,012 --> 01:12:20,402

This is all I've wanted for the

whole time we've been together.

:

01:12:20,421 --> 01:12:21,211

Sabrina: god,

:

01:12:21,432 --> 01:12:22,182

Mel: And so he.

:

01:12:22,737 --> 01:12:23,797

Yeah, so big

:

01:12:23,807 --> 01:12:24,547

big trigger.

:

01:12:24,777 --> 01:12:25,307

I know.

:

01:12:26,007 --> 01:12:28,377

Big trigger warnings for

child abuse and stuff.

:

01:12:28,437 --> 01:12:29,207

Real bad.

:

01:12:29,377 --> 01:12:32,847

Sexual, um, mental,

physical, all the, all the,

:

01:12:32,847 --> 01:12:33,507

bullshit.

:

01:12:34,467 --> 01:12:35,137

Terrible.

:

01:12:35,907 --> 01:12:36,387

Terrible.

:

01:12:36,787 --> 01:12:42,032

When, Alex killed their dad and

then split, they got that, guardian.

:

01:12:42,162 --> 01:12:46,272

The guardian was a pedophilic predator.

:

01:12:47,151 --> 01:12:50,022

went after and was grooming.

:

01:12:50,377 --> 01:12:51,537

Dimitri the baby.

:

01:12:51,557 --> 01:12:53,977

Well, the baby, the

seven year old, I think.

:

01:12:54,161 --> 01:12:59,371

and Maxim was like, I'm pretty sure

there's something weird happening.

:

01:12:59,441 --> 01:13:04,201

But, poor Dimitri had been groomed

hard, and so was like, no, nothing

:

01:13:04,340 --> 01:13:09,170

Sabrina: and not only that, Orloff, their

guardian, told Dimitri that if he tells

:

01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:12,300

Maxime anything he will kill Maxime.

:

01:13:12,890 --> 01:13:15,000

So obviously he's not

going to say anything.

:

01:13:15,050 --> 01:13:21,460

And then Christmas, Maxime

goes to put presents in

:

01:13:21,460 --> 01:13:21,559

Dimitri's

:

01:13:21,591 --> 01:13:24,441

Mel: the sweetest big brother

thing I've ever heard in my life,

:

01:13:24,441 --> 01:13:26,781

set up toys on Dimitri's floor.

:

01:13:27,610 --> 01:13:34,420

Sabrina: And Dimitri is not in bed and he

ends up finding Dimitri in Orloff's room.

:

01:13:34,780 --> 01:13:39,320

And Orloff loses his mind and locks

him in a basement for six months.

:

01:13:39,471 --> 01:13:41,521

Mel: A Russian winter basement.

:

01:13:41,661 --> 01:13:42,041

Cellar.

:

01:13:42,646 --> 01:13:43,240

Even.

:

01:13:43,419 --> 01:13:46,059

Sabrina: He doesn't see

light for six months.

:

01:13:46,440 --> 01:13:47,880

Mel: God, he calls her Solnishka?

:

01:13:48,624 --> 01:13:48,884

And,

:

01:13:48,914 --> 01:13:54,534

and he, he also tells, he also tells

Alyx she makes things brighter.

:

01:13:55,024 --> 01:13:57,934

Oh my god, kill me fucking dead.

:

01:13:58,769 --> 01:14:03,939

Anyway, so what ended up happening

is, finally, because, because Dimitri

:

01:14:03,939 --> 01:14:09,889

understandably, um, has sort of been

going into dissociative fugue states, but

:

01:14:09,919 --> 01:14:14,199

at some point he comes out of it and is

like, oh shit, my brother's gonna die if

:

01:14:14,199 --> 01:14:19,979

I don't get him out of that cellar, so

he ends up hitting Orlov, um, with a snow

:

01:14:19,979 --> 01:14:22,479

shovel to knock him out, gets knocked

:

01:14:22,747 --> 01:14:28,937

Maxime, and then while, while Dimitri

cries next to him, Maxime just

:

01:14:28,947 --> 01:14:35,127

strangles the life out of a Knocked

out Orlov and like good on ya,

:

01:14:35,597 --> 01:14:36,047

Sabrina: Yeah.

:

01:14:36,077 --> 01:14:38,547

Mel: and then they put him out in the the

:

01:14:39,187 --> 01:14:40,717

Sabrina: Snow in the woods.

:

01:14:40,787 --> 01:14:41,307

Mel: found.

:

01:14:41,397 --> 01:14:43,427

Sabrina: And they just

say he's disappeared.

:

01:14:43,597 --> 01:14:46,127

Mel: did a big drunken hike in the snow

:

01:14:46,347 --> 01:14:52,022

Sabrina: So So, back in current

times, this is when shit starts to

:

01:14:52,022 --> 01:14:58,044

hit the fan, because he makes it very

clear to her that she's it for him.

:

01:14:58,443 --> 01:15:02,384

Mel: by saying things like at one point

She's like, oh, yeah hobbyist like you

:

01:15:02,384 --> 01:15:05,634

would know and he says a former hobbyist

:

01:15:05,970 --> 01:15:06,780

and then

:

01:15:07,047 --> 01:15:09,007

Uh, she catches the bouquet,

:

01:15:09,322 --> 01:15:13,642

Sabrina: mhm, she catches the bouquet,

he ends up catching the garter.

:

01:15:13,937 --> 01:15:17,527

And when he goes to put the

garter on her, she tenses.

:

01:15:17,814 --> 01:15:20,824

Mel: he says, do you think

fate is telling us something?

:

01:15:21,074 --> 01:15:23,984

And she goes, because she's married.

:

01:15:24,564 --> 01:15:28,084

Like the reason she does this is

because she, if they were to have this

:

01:15:28,084 --> 01:15:33,254

conversation, she would have to tell

him I need to get a big divorce before

:

01:15:33,264 --> 01:15:35,204

we could think about doing anything.

:

01:15:35,334 --> 01:15:36,864

And like, also you would need to

:

01:15:36,864 --> 01:15:39,762

know my legal name, which you don't.

:

01:15:39,812 --> 01:15:41,843

And like, he knows he doesn't.

:

01:15:42,085 --> 01:15:42,385

So

:

01:15:42,415 --> 01:15:43,155

she tenses.

:

01:15:43,189 --> 01:15:44,019

Sabrina: that's the thing is, he

:

01:15:44,019 --> 01:15:46,389

knows she's hiding stuff from him.

:

01:15:46,889 --> 01:15:49,599

He knows it, he just doesn't know what it

:

01:15:49,599 --> 01:15:50,049

is.

:

01:15:51,717 --> 01:15:55,617

And she's also, like, how

He's never had a relationship.

:

01:15:55,717 --> 01:15:59,017

He's never had, like, all of these

things, and she's like, How can

:

01:15:59,017 --> 01:16:03,377

he possibly be ready to commit the

way that he's saying that he is?

:

01:16:03,827 --> 01:16:04,997

Which, like, fair.

:

01:16:05,023 --> 01:16:05,313

Mel: Yes.

:

01:16:05,660 --> 01:16:06,530

Sabrina: That's fair!

:

01:16:07,513 --> 01:16:08,153

would have the same

:

01:16:08,153 --> 01:16:10,671

questions, but uh huh.

:

01:16:10,671 --> 01:16:13,081

And but so then she they get back

:

01:16:13,335 --> 01:16:18,260

Mel: And he, as soon as that

happens, he's like, He spends the

:

01:16:18,260 --> 01:16:19,990

whole plane ride on the phone.

:

01:16:20,830 --> 01:16:23,530

She keeps on being like, what's going on?

:

01:16:23,730 --> 01:16:25,320

And he's like, I've got a lot on my mind.

:

01:16:25,330 --> 01:16:25,950

That's all.

:

01:16:26,230 --> 01:16:28,670

She's like, well, that really

doesn't seem true, but okay.

:

01:16:28,670 --> 01:16:33,520

And then finally, when they get back,

because she fell asleep on the plane, and

:

01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:36,410

he was extra pissy then, they get back.

:

01:16:36,450 --> 01:16:38,030

She asks him what was wrong.

:

01:16:38,380 --> 01:16:40,170

And he says, who's Edward?

:

01:16:40,795 --> 01:16:41,415

Because she had a

:

01:16:41,684 --> 01:16:42,304

Sabrina: Mm hmm

:

01:16:42,345 --> 01:16:44,085

Mel: killed Maxime.

:

01:16:44,587 --> 01:16:46,967

And it really freaked her out,

and so she was basically in

:

01:16:46,967 --> 01:16:48,727

her dream saying, Edward, no.

:

01:16:49,417 --> 01:16:49,747

But it

:

01:16:49,747 --> 01:16:52,437

sounded like she was just

moaning another man's name.

:

01:16:53,167 --> 01:16:55,897

And he, and so he freaks out on her.

:

01:16:56,207 --> 01:16:57,977

He's like, this was my plan.

:

01:16:58,057 --> 01:16:59,277

I knew about the phone.

:

01:16:59,407 --> 01:17:01,227

I knew about all the things

I was going to win you.

:

01:17:01,657 --> 01:17:04,507

And then every one of your

sphincters clenched when I

:

01:17:04,507 --> 01:17:06,217

asked you about maybe marrying.

:

01:17:07,037 --> 01:17:09,437

Like, so here's what you can do.

:

01:17:10,217 --> 01:17:14,117

Let's go to the courthouse right

now and you can prove that you're

:

01:17:14,117 --> 01:17:16,297

not with somebody by marrying me.

:

01:17:16,916 --> 01:17:19,927

And she's like, no, that's bananas.

:

01:17:20,267 --> 01:17:23,797

Like, no matter what the

situation is, that's bananas.

:

01:17:24,547 --> 01:17:25,337

then finally, she

:

01:17:25,511 --> 01:17:28,251

Sabrina: Also, legally, I can't do that.

:

01:17:28,261 --> 01:17:31,521

She doesn't say that to him,

but like, even if she wanted to.

:

01:17:31,697 --> 01:17:34,967

Mel: Yeah, I don't want to be

brought up on felony bigamy charges.

:

01:17:35,597 --> 01:17:37,847

And then, finally, she's

just like, you know what?

:

01:17:38,507 --> 01:17:39,327

Fuck this.

:

01:17:39,387 --> 01:17:43,112

Because from the very beginning,

You have not given me the

:

01:17:43,122 --> 01:17:45,492

benefit of the doubt ever.

:

01:17:45,772 --> 01:17:47,822

You didn't believe you

were my first client.

:

01:17:47,872 --> 01:17:50,682

You didn't believe, like, you

don't believe anything I say,

:

01:17:50,692 --> 01:17:52,012

even though I tell you, I

:

01:17:52,151 --> 01:17:52,501

Sabrina: Mm hmm.

:

01:17:53,371 --> 01:17:59,523

And on her way out, she tells him, You

have no idea about my pride, Russian.

:

01:17:59,714 --> 01:18:03,534

It burns so bright, I hope

it fucking blinds you.

:

01:18:04,034 --> 01:18:07,284

And I was like, fuck, that hurt,

:

01:18:07,585 --> 01:18:08,415

Mel: Yeah.

:

01:18:08,773 --> 01:18:09,554

Sabrina: she's the

:

01:18:10,334 --> 01:18:10,674

son,

:

01:18:10,745 --> 01:18:11,145

Mel: Yeah.

:

01:18:11,871 --> 01:18:12,191

Yeah.

:

01:18:12,191 --> 01:18:16,501

Oh, because when she's leaving,

he's like, just ask me for all of

:

01:18:16,501 --> 01:18:20,001

your presents because he bought her

like half a million dollars worth of

:

01:18:20,271 --> 01:18:20,671

outfits

:

01:18:20,750 --> 01:18:23,860

Sabrina: yeah, and she also, he,

like, he was gonna pay for all

:

01:18:23,860 --> 01:18:25,400

of those nights is ten grand.

:

01:18:25,809 --> 01:18:26,160

Like.

:

01:18:26,705 --> 01:18:27,165

At the very

:

01:18:27,165 --> 01:18:28,245

least, five grand.

:

01:18:28,595 --> 01:18:31,995

Yeah, he owes her money, she, he

bought her a ton of presents, and

:

01:18:31,995 --> 01:18:34,035

she was like, No, and he's like,

:

01:18:34,071 --> 01:18:34,541

Mel: from you.

:

01:18:35,095 --> 01:18:36,265

Sabrina: keep you from

:

01:18:36,325 --> 01:18:36,815

taking

:

01:18:36,825 --> 01:18:37,175

these.

:

01:18:37,181 --> 01:18:38,411

Mel: ask me Katya.

:

01:18:38,485 --> 01:18:39,205

Sabrina: And she's like,

:

01:18:39,395 --> 01:18:39,775

fuck

:

01:18:39,941 --> 01:18:40,561

Mel: yeah,

:

01:18:40,795 --> 01:18:41,555

Sabrina: have no

:

01:18:41,555 --> 01:18:42,205

idea.

:

01:18:42,401 --> 01:18:43,331

Mel: burn you.

:

01:18:43,429 --> 01:18:45,831

Blind you with my bright pride.

:

01:18:45,907 --> 01:18:50,448

Sabrina: and then she adds rule number

seven, which is never fall in love.

:

01:18:52,288 --> 01:18:53,698

So, she gets home.

:

01:18:54,156 --> 01:18:57,416

And she finds out, she goes to

her little hiding spot in her

:

01:18:57,416 --> 01:19:01,726

apartment, and all of her money is

gone, her mother's rosary is gone,

:

01:19:01,766 --> 01:19:02,246

like, her

:

01:19:02,246 --> 01:19:02,636

savings,

:

01:19:02,811 --> 01:19:03,511

Mel: ID.

:

01:19:03,636 --> 01:19:04,356

Sabrina: is gone.

:

01:19:04,586 --> 01:19:05,236

Mm hmm.

:

01:19:05,651 --> 01:19:06,031

Mel: And like,

:

01:19:06,731 --> 01:19:07,661

that was her plan!

:

01:19:07,741 --> 01:19:11,061

She was like, I have seven grand,

I'm just gonna get it and split.

:

01:19:11,091 --> 01:19:13,131

I'm gonna take my test, and I'm

gonna get out, and I'm gonna

:

01:19:13,131 --> 01:19:14,931

start over with my seven grand.

:

01:19:14,941 --> 01:19:18,711

And now, all she has is like, less

than two hundred and fifty dollars.

:

01:19:18,988 --> 01:19:19,308

Sabrina: yeah.

:

01:19:19,409 --> 01:19:20,568

Mel: her phone in the cab.

:

01:19:21,029 --> 01:19:26,247

Sabrina: So then she remembers, that Ivana

told her they would split the money from

:

01:19:26,257 --> 01:19:31,247

selling, which this is fucked up, but like

they're gonna split the money from Ivana

:

01:19:31,287 --> 01:19:33,587

and Uncle Anthony selling her personal

:

01:19:33,892 --> 01:19:36,342

phone number to him

:

01:19:36,518 --> 01:19:37,628

Mel: get two and a half grand.

:

01:19:37,782 --> 01:19:38,952

Sabrina: are splitting.

:

01:19:39,062 --> 01:19:39,612

Yeah.

:

01:19:39,812 --> 01:19:41,272

And so, but she's like, okay, that's fine.

:

01:19:41,272 --> 01:19:43,702

So she calls Anthony and

she's like, I need my money.

:

01:19:43,702 --> 01:19:44,982

And he's like, I don't have it.

:

01:19:44,982 --> 01:19:46,002

I invested it for you.

:

01:19:46,002 --> 01:19:47,322

Cause you're one of my girls now.

:

01:19:47,372 --> 01:19:49,392

And she's like, ah, fuck that.

:

01:19:49,422 --> 01:19:50,182

Absolutely not.

:

01:19:50,182 --> 01:19:53,682

And then she remembers that she was going

to be going and cleaning a house one last

:

01:19:53,813 --> 01:19:57,940

Mel: Wait, importantly though, Anthony

says, I don't have that money, and

:

01:19:57,940 --> 01:20:02,400

you're gonna, you need to go out with

this French billionaire because the

:

01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:04,260

Russian well has dried up for you.

:

01:20:04,490 --> 01:20:05,960

He just called and booked Ivana.

:

01:20:06,538 --> 01:20:09,668

So like, you're never seeing that

Russian again, or any of his money.

:

01:20:10,028 --> 01:20:11,907

So she's fucking heartbroken.

:

01:20:12,470 --> 01:20:16,080

So she spends the night in her bathtub

because she's worried that her super

:

01:20:16,110 --> 01:20:18,110

is going to, like, assault her in the

:

01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:18,820

middle of the night?

:

01:20:18,979 --> 01:20:19,499

Sabrina: in.

:

01:20:19,519 --> 01:20:21,019

She figured out that

he's the one who stole

:

01:20:21,019 --> 01:20:21,119

the

:

01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:22,020

Mel: For sure.

:

01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:26,410

And then, she goes to clean

that house because she has one

:

01:20:26,410 --> 01:20:27,930

more house cleaning she can do.

:

01:20:28,050 --> 01:20:30,790

She's gonna clean a mansion

for a hundred bones.

:

01:20:31,410 --> 01:20:32,443

Oh,

:

01:20:33,347 --> 01:20:35,600

Sabrina: I couldn't be

:

01:20:35,630 --> 01:20:35,960

me.

:

01:20:36,186 --> 01:20:37,366

Mel: dare this woman.

:

01:20:37,376 --> 01:20:41,594

And she's, and this woman is

constantly, threatening, to stick

:

01:20:41,624 --> 01:20:44,474

ice on her, basically, because

she thinks she's undocumented.

:

01:20:44,942 --> 01:20:45,812

It's just fucking awful.

:

01:20:46,190 --> 01:20:47,320

Sabrina: fuckin racist asshole.

:

01:20:47,425 --> 01:20:47,675

Mel: right?

:

01:20:47,866 --> 01:20:51,436

So she's cleaning a toilet, and

from behind her, she hears, What?

:

01:20:51,436 --> 01:20:51,446

What?

:

01:20:51,446 --> 01:20:51,456

What?

:

01:20:51,835 --> 01:20:54,035

Maxime go, what are you doing?

:

01:20:54,257 --> 01:20:56,437

And she's like, what the fuck?

:

01:20:56,447 --> 01:20:57,157

Get out of here.

:

01:20:57,157 --> 01:20:58,287

How did you know I was here?

:

01:20:58,287 --> 01:20:59,137

Blah, blah, blah.

:

01:20:59,717 --> 01:21:01,587

And he's like, I had your phone bugged.

:

01:21:01,647 --> 01:21:02,107

What?

:

01:21:02,312 --> 01:21:03,842

Sabrina: Oh my god, this is so important.

:

01:21:03,982 --> 01:21:08,692

So, she has made it very clear to him,

like, mul She has said this multiple times

:

01:21:08,692 --> 01:21:10,322

to him, over and over and over again.

:

01:21:10,642 --> 01:21:12,872

I have never lied to

:

01:21:13,007 --> 01:21:13,607

Mel: Yes.

:

01:21:13,932 --> 01:21:16,672

Sabrina: I have never,

ever fucking lied to

:

01:21:16,672 --> 01:21:16,962

you.

:

01:21:17,867 --> 01:21:18,117

Mel: And weaves.

:

01:21:18,206 --> 01:21:18,504

Sabrina: Yeah.

:

01:21:18,504 --> 01:21:20,304

And he's like, well, please come with me.

:

01:21:20,309 --> 01:21:21,144

Like, come meet me.

:

01:21:21,144 --> 01:21:23,964

And she's like, I can't, I'm

working and I have to do the

:

01:21:23,994 --> 01:21:24,924

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

:

01:21:24,924 --> 01:21:27,234

And she also has her test and

like, there's all sorts of stuff

:

01:21:27,234 --> 01:21:27,594

going on.

:

01:21:27,864 --> 01:21:29,834

Well, she, yeah.

:

01:21:29,834 --> 01:21:32,624

And she, he's like, come to

the hotel at blah, blah, blah.

:

01:21:32,629 --> 01:21:36,254

And she says, I can be there

at five and I'll see you then.

:

01:21:36,554 --> 01:21:39,814

And his face is like shocked.

:

01:21:39,814 --> 01:21:41,674

And he's like, you just lied to me.

:

01:21:41,815 --> 01:21:42,045

Mel: You're

:

01:21:42,055 --> 01:21:42,725

terrible at

:

01:21:42,789 --> 01:21:45,019

Sabrina: are terrible at it.

:

01:21:45,279 --> 01:21:48,949

And this is when he really

realizes, Oh my god, she's Never.

:

01:21:48,949 --> 01:21:49,729

lied to me.

:

01:21:50,574 --> 01:21:52,164

Cuz I would have known.

:

01:21:52,314 --> 01:21:56,354

There's no way I wouldn't have caught

that cuz she's a terrible liar.

:

01:21:56,615 --> 01:21:58,115

Mel: So then it starts pouring.

:

01:21:58,315 --> 01:22:02,425

She has to get to two buses in

order to get to her test on time.

:

01:22:02,575 --> 01:22:03,495

She's running late.

:

01:22:03,855 --> 01:22:07,815

So she starts sprinting and he's

following her, trying to be like,

:

01:22:08,155 --> 01:22:09,315

Please just give me five minutes.

:

01:22:09,315 --> 01:22:10,395

I need one conversation.

:

01:22:10,395 --> 01:22:11,495

I made a mistake.

:

01:22:11,525 --> 01:22:12,538

Like I fucked it.

:

01:22:12,588 --> 01:22:13,098

Okay.

:

01:22:13,288 --> 01:22:13,988

Sabrina: God,

:

01:22:14,288 --> 01:22:14,518

Mel: it.

:

01:22:15,018 --> 01:22:17,798

Sabrina: I love a man who accepts

that he's the one who fucked

:

01:22:17,903 --> 01:22:18,363

Mel: Yeah.

:

01:22:19,178 --> 01:22:19,938

Sabrina: Grovel!

:

01:22:20,023 --> 01:22:20,353

Mel: same.

:

01:22:21,133 --> 01:22:22,933

And so she's like, I

don't have time for this.

:

01:22:22,933 --> 01:22:23,653

I have to go.

:

01:22:24,173 --> 01:22:27,683

And when she's waiting for her second

bus, he's like, this is stupid.

:

01:22:27,713 --> 01:22:29,223

My Bentley is right there.

:

01:22:29,223 --> 01:22:33,483

And so he kidnaps her off the

street again, like, just takes

:

01:22:33,483 --> 01:22:34,623

her and shoves her in the car.

:

01:22:34,623 --> 01:22:38,123

And it's like, Vassili, follow the

bus or whatever, because I still

:

01:22:38,123 --> 01:22:39,093

don't know where she's going.

:

01:22:39,093 --> 01:22:39,943

She won't tell me.

:

01:22:40,513 --> 01:22:42,123

And he's like, what's going on with you?

:

01:22:42,177 --> 01:22:43,157

why is all this happening?

:

01:22:43,157 --> 01:22:44,807

And so she tells him about the super.

:

01:22:44,837 --> 01:22:47,477

She tells him about, she's

just like, I'm sick of men.

:

01:22:48,112 --> 01:22:51,302

Trying to control me and thinking

they know best for me and stealing

:

01:22:51,302 --> 01:22:53,352

from me and shitting on me.

:

01:22:53,972 --> 01:22:58,772

And then he says, wait, you're lumping

me in with Anthony and the super.

:

01:22:58,972 --> 01:23:03,912

And she's like, you're worse because

I never believed in them, but I

:

01:23:03,932 --> 01:23:06,791

believed in you and I loved you.

:

01:23:07,472 --> 01:23:10,567

And he says, I don't have a lot

of experience with this situation.

:

01:23:10,707 --> 01:23:11,897

And she's like, what

are you talking about?

:

01:23:12,210 --> 01:23:18,080

And he goes, I realized that I

actually love someone more than

:

01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:20,270

I love myself or anything else.

:

01:23:21,300 --> 01:23:23,080

And I, I freaked out.

:

01:23:23,100 --> 01:23:25,059

Like I didn't know what to do

when I thought you were in love

:

01:23:25,094 --> 01:23:28,574

Sabrina: Because she, I thought, yeah,

I thought that your heart belonged to

:

01:23:28,574 --> 01:23:31,934

somebody else and I didn't know how

to handle it so I lashed out and hurt

:

01:23:31,934 --> 01:23:33,624

you and I'm sorry.

:

01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:36,960

Mel: he let her go that day

because he wanted to like

:

01:23:37,374 --> 01:23:39,104

Sabrina: By the way, he's been just, he's

:

01:23:39,104 --> 01:23:43,594

been just, been In the car, he's

just been, like, throwing hundreds at

:

01:23:43,594 --> 01:23:43,754

her,

:

01:23:43,754 --> 01:23:44,454

basically.

:

01:23:45,190 --> 01:23:46,510

Mel: He's like, I owe you so much money.

:

01:23:46,510 --> 01:23:49,150

If you won't have me, then at

least like, let me help you get

:

01:23:49,170 --> 01:23:49,790

to wherever you

:

01:23:49,790 --> 01:23:50,760

need to go.

:

01:23:51,309 --> 01:23:51,800

And she's like,

:

01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:52,750

fuck that and fuck you.

:

01:23:52,750 --> 01:23:54,309

I don't want anything from you.

:

01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:58,590

And apparently his plan was to

like, figure out where Edward

:

01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:04,350

was by following her and then

offering him a billion dollars

:

01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:04,380

to

:

01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,260

like, give her to him.

:

01:24:07,340 --> 01:24:11,700

Which like, Maxime, that's not how that

works, you sweet, sweet billionaire.

:

01:24:12,015 --> 01:24:12,425

Idiot.

:

01:24:12,958 --> 01:24:16,812

but anyway, and then, like, he's

been in her apartment, and so

:

01:24:16,812 --> 01:24:19,161

he's like what is happening?

:

01:24:19,711 --> 01:24:21,851

And also, you would rather

be there than with me?

:

01:24:21,891 --> 01:24:22,951

And she's like, yeah.

:

01:24:23,035 --> 01:24:24,005

Sabrina: I would.

:

01:24:24,228 --> 01:24:25,751

Mel: Can you wrap your head around that?

:

01:24:25,772 --> 01:24:27,941

Like that's how badly you fucked up.

:

01:24:27,951 --> 01:24:32,901

I would rather lay in my bathroom

hoping I don't get assaulted

:

01:24:33,001 --> 01:24:35,371

than ask you for anything.

:

01:24:36,025 --> 01:24:37,805

Sabrina: Oh, God, my heart.

:

01:24:37,881 --> 01:24:38,611

Mel: heart.

:

01:24:38,931 --> 01:24:39,751

Anyway, So,

:

01:24:39,785 --> 01:24:43,845

Sabrina: So, they get to the campus,

and she's like, Stop the car!

:

01:24:43,845 --> 01:24:45,745

And just, like, launches

out and starts running.

:

01:24:45,755 --> 01:24:49,375

And so she makes it there in time, and

she is taking She's getting ready to

:

01:24:49,375 --> 01:24:52,295

take her test, and then he texts her.

:

01:24:52,940 --> 01:24:58,107

He figures out where she is and he texts

her and he's like, what are you doing?

:

01:24:58,177 --> 01:25:00,947

Mel: He says, I don't know what

you're doing, but I hope you do well.

:

01:25:01,447 --> 01:25:01,547

Sabrina: Yeah!

:

01:25:01,547 --> 01:25:03,997

And she's like, You

broke my heart yesterday.

:

01:25:03,997 --> 01:25:05,277

And he says, Let.

:

01:25:05,507 --> 01:25:06,067

Me.

:

01:25:06,257 --> 01:25:07,197

Mend it.

:

01:25:08,177 --> 01:25:08,607

Oh!

:

01:25:09,247 --> 01:25:11,057

So then she takes her test.

:

01:25:11,207 --> 01:25:15,597

And she goes up and her professor

is like, Grades it for her.

:

01:25:15,617 --> 01:25:16,517

She gets an A.

:

01:25:16,527 --> 01:25:18,737

She's gonna, when she gets all

of her credits together, She's

:

01:25:18,737 --> 01:25:20,987

gonna graduate summa cum laude and

:

01:25:20,987 --> 01:25:21,297

just,

:

01:25:21,488 --> 01:25:22,248

Mel: She's gonna have a 4.

:

01:25:22,462 --> 01:25:27,206

Sabrina: Like, I know how that feels,

like, so like, not to brag, this is

:

01:25:27,206 --> 01:25:30,526

about to sound like a brag, but like,

I graduated with both of my degrees

:

01:25:30,526 --> 01:25:39,266

summa cum laude, and like, that feeling

of getting that last class, like,

:

01:25:39,266 --> 01:25:45,966

getting that last test back and going,

Cause one test, one test will fuck it

:

01:25:45,966 --> 01:25:47,921

up, it'll drop you down, and it's still 3.

:

01:25:47,921 --> 01:25:49,776

9, that's still, uh, what is it,

:

01:25:50,145 --> 01:25:50,725

Mel: Magna?

:

01:25:50,809 --> 01:25:53,214

Sabrina: when you're above

a f Yeah, Magna Cum Laude.

:

01:25:53,564 --> 01:25:57,004

Like, oh man, like, it's still good.

:

01:25:57,484 --> 01:26:00,494

But, like, knowing you that you

were so close, and this is her

:

01:26:00,494 --> 01:26:02,844

last, I, like, I got so many

:

01:26:02,844 --> 01:26:05,244

feelings when she got that A!

:

01:26:06,014 --> 01:26:06,634

I know!

:

01:26:07,204 --> 01:26:09,054

Like, oh, God!

:

01:26:09,094 --> 01:26:11,504

Like, huh!

:

01:26:11,565 --> 01:26:15,905

Mel: But then the professor says,

Hey, a weird, strung out looking dude

:

01:26:16,335 --> 01:26:19,105

wanted to know if you were at school.

:

01:26:19,245 --> 01:26:21,985

And I lied to him and I told

him you'd be here in the spring.

:

01:26:22,225 --> 01:26:23,355

I hope that's okay.

:

01:26:23,355 --> 01:26:25,205

And she's like, Oh my God,

thank you for doing that.

:

01:26:25,205 --> 01:26:26,545

And she's like, Edward was here.

:

01:26:26,545 --> 01:26:27,955

My spidey senses were correct.

:

01:26:28,064 --> 01:26:29,284

Sabrina: she calls Maxime.

:

01:26:29,648 --> 01:26:29,979

And she

:

01:26:29,999 --> 01:26:30,879

says, I need

:

01:26:31,155 --> 01:26:31,535

Mel: she says,

:

01:26:31,555 --> 01:26:33,645

Russo, I need help.

:

01:26:33,715 --> 01:26:35,570

And he says, Anything.

:

01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:37,630

We will work it out together.

:

01:26:37,820 --> 01:26:38,700

Anything.

:

01:26:39,730 --> 01:26:42,710

And then, on the way, she

sees him across the quad.

:

01:26:42,710 --> 01:26:44,710

She's walking to him while on the phone.

:

01:26:44,980 --> 01:26:47,250

And then she does get

stabbed in the chest.

:

01:26:48,259 --> 01:26:48,879

Sabrina: Mm hmm.

:

01:26:49,130 --> 01:26:49,630

Mel: uh, by a

:

01:26:49,630 --> 01:26:50,260

husband.

:

01:26:51,350 --> 01:26:51,830

Yeah.

:

01:26:51,909 --> 01:26:52,259

Sabrina: Yep.

:

01:26:53,189 --> 01:26:54,699

Edward stabs the hell out of

:

01:26:54,699 --> 01:26:55,179

her.

:

01:26:55,969 --> 01:26:59,818

And he sees Maxime coming, Maxime and

Vasily, and he's like, don't come any

:

01:26:59,818 --> 01:27:00,359

closer.

:

01:27:00,359 --> 01:27:02,469

And Maxime says, fuck that.

:

01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:06,229

So he, even though Edward has a

gun trained on his head, Maxime

:

01:27:06,259 --> 01:27:08,019

comes storming forward to get her.

:

01:27:08,039 --> 01:27:09,469

She stabs Edward.

:

01:27:09,804 --> 01:27:13,684

With the knife that he dropped to

grab the gun, his shot goes wild,

:

01:27:13,684 --> 01:27:17,894

shoots Maxime in the shoulder, and

then, bang bang, Vasily shoots the

:

01:27:17,894 --> 01:27:21,924

shit out of Edward, and Edward is bye.

:

01:27:21,943 --> 01:27:22,164

bye.

:

01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:26,100

Mel: Good words alive enough to

get put in the trunk alive, though.

:

01:27:26,610 --> 01:27:28,620

So, that's nice.

:

01:27:29,130 --> 01:27:29,820

That's nice.

:

01:27:30,022 --> 01:27:30,291

So

:

now they're in the car, heading to

the hospital, and this was, this was

:

01:27:34,512 --> 01:27:38,892

one of the best written scenes ever.

:

01:27:39,252 --> 01:27:41,582

Like, he's being like,

:

01:27:41,582 --> 01:27:42,482

Like, talk to me.

story in like, you know, broken

:

01:27:47,352 --> 01:27:48,172

Sabrina: Maxime, I

01:28:15,157 --> 01:28:15,847

in Miami.

:

01:28:15,847 --> 01:28:18,757

And I I I ended up

driving you into his arm

:

01:28:18,827 --> 01:28:23,767

Mel: Yeah, Yeah, At one point, she's

telling him all about everything

:

01:28:23,767 --> 01:28:28,277

that happened and she goes, um,

she goes, Couldn't tell anyone,

:

01:28:28,627 --> 01:28:31,597

:

01:28:32,337 --> 01:28:33,997

Like, I'm so glad I get to tell you

:

01:28:33,997 --> 01:28:34,537

:

01:28:34,537 --> 01:28:35,047

now.

:

01:28:35,617 --> 01:28:39,387

Sabrina: And then she tells

him I love you so much.

:

01:28:40,207 --> 01:28:41,257

And passes out.

:

01:28:41,277 --> 01:28:42,687

Everything goes black.

:

01:28:42,747 --> 01:28:45,887

Mel: he, yeah, right before that, he

tells her something very sweet, like,

:

01:28:45,887 --> 01:28:48,987

I love you, and she says, Are you

telling me that because I'm dying?

:

01:28:49,416 --> 01:28:49,967

And he's like, No!

:

01:28:49,968 --> 01:28:51,457

No!

:

01:28:51,612 --> 01:28:54,192

Sabrina: And this is, this is

also where he says, Did you

:

01:28:54,192 --> 01:28:56,882

know that your name means light?

:

01:28:56,897 --> 01:28:59,147

Mel: Lucia light.

:

01:28:59,272 --> 01:29:00,022

Sabrina: Uh huh.

:

01:29:00,982 --> 01:29:02,002

Oh, God.

:

01:29:02,142 --> 01:29:02,622

Yeah.

:

01:29:02,652 --> 01:29:06,594

And then she wakes up in the

hospital and is happy ever

:

01:29:06,594 --> 01:29:06,994

after.

:

01:29:06,994 --> 01:29:09,084

They decide that they're

gonna be together.

:

01:29:09,424 --> 01:29:13,934

Turns out, what happened, instead of

just making the body disappear, Uh, he,

:

01:29:13,954 --> 01:29:16,544

Edward, ran into some problems in Atlanta

:

01:29:16,794 --> 01:29:17,124

City.

:

01:29:17,916 --> 01:29:19,237

Did I say Atlanta City?

:

01:29:19,267 --> 01:29:20,416

I meant Atlantic.

:

01:29:21,267 --> 01:29:25,221

Anyway, and so that way his body

was found, which means she's now a

:

01:29:25,507 --> 01:29:25,967

Mel: Uh huh.

:

01:29:25,987 --> 01:29:26,567

He wanted to

:

01:29:26,567 --> 01:29:28,747

make sure she was a widow.

:

01:29:29,131 --> 01:29:29,231

Sabrina: huh.

:

01:29:29,777 --> 01:29:32,247

Mel: He buys her a house and she

says, do you think it's big enough

:

01:29:32,257 --> 01:29:33,757

for you to join me and the dog?

:

01:29:34,107 --> 01:29:34,887

And he's like, yeah.

:

01:29:34,887 --> 01:29:35,237

And she goes,

:

01:29:35,237 --> 01:29:35,416

do you

:

01:29:35,441 --> 01:29:36,001

Sabrina: Mm hmm.

:

01:29:36,166 --> 01:29:36,397

Mel: us?

:

01:29:36,427 --> 01:29:38,137

And he's like, OMG, yes.

:

01:29:39,087 --> 01:29:39,507

So

:

01:29:39,651 --> 01:29:40,231

Sabrina: Mm hmm.

:

01:29:40,871 --> 01:29:41,391

Oh, And

:

01:29:41,391 --> 01:29:44,791

then this was so funny because, But

the strangest thing had happened.

:

01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:47,411

Shadwell had disappeared.

:

01:29:47,861 --> 01:29:49,411

Never to be seen again.

:

01:29:49,991 --> 01:29:52,531

I'd asked Vasily if he

knew anything about this.

:

01:29:52,561 --> 01:29:55,736

The man had said, Ali got that accident?

:

01:29:56,127 --> 01:29:58,707

Mel: The alligator

accident is so funny to me.

:

01:29:59,607 --> 01:30:00,467

Hilarious.

:

01:30:00,476 --> 01:30:00,496

Sabrina: too!

:

01:30:01,546 --> 01:30:02,066

He's like,

:

01:30:02,446 --> 01:30:03,086

hmm,

:

01:30:03,106 --> 01:30:03,526

something?

:

01:30:04,441 --> 01:30:05,271

That wasn't me?

:

01:30:05,337 --> 01:30:05,897

Mel: Yeah.

:

01:30:06,347 --> 01:30:10,377

Okay, and now, book two starts

at their four year anniversary.

:

01:30:10,451 --> 01:30:11,601

Sabrina: One last thing!

:

01:30:12,321 --> 01:30:15,351

He said, she's like, he's

like, I'm gonna propose to you.

:

01:30:15,351 --> 01:30:17,061

And she's like, I'm not

ready for that quite yet.

:

01:30:17,071 --> 01:30:18,981

And he's like, okay, then

I'm gonna propose to you once

:

01:30:18,981 --> 01:30:20,241

a week until you're ready.

:

01:30:20,581 --> 01:30:26,071

So, he asks her the day before she

walks across the stage for graduation.

:

01:30:26,471 --> 01:30:29,791

And she, when she's walking across

the sta Right before she walks

:

01:30:29,791 --> 01:30:34,675

across the stage, She takes off Uh,

something she had covering her cap,

:

01:30:34,746 --> 01:30:40,932

and it just says yes, yes, yes across

the top of it, and that's how she

:

01:30:40,932 --> 01:30:42,269

accepts his proposal!

:

01:30:42,269 --> 01:30:42,714

:

01:30:42,714 --> 01:30:46,656

:

01:30:47,406 --> 01:30:48,486

And it was wonderful.

:

01:30:48,486 --> 01:30:49,576

And then we get into book two.

:

01:30:53,548 --> 01:30:57,341

Sabrina: and unfortunately, Patron,

Mel: I

Sabrina: Yeah.

:

01:31:12,213 --> 01:31:15,413

Which, like, I was not expecting

to love it as much as I did.

:

01:31:15,433 --> 01:31:16,103

Mel: This was so good.

:

01:31:16,113 --> 01:31:16,282

01:31:22,519 --> 01:31:23,719

told them our rankings.

01:31:23,904 --> 01:31:24,544

Mel: I know.

:

01:31:24,791 --> 01:31:25,702

Sabrina: This was delightful.

:

01:31:25,702 --> 01:31:29,392

I really loved reliving this, though,

because like, my god, I fucking loved the

:

01:31:29,392 --> 01:31:34,672

Master, and like, I didn't think anything,

could top it until I read the player.

:

01:31:34,672 --> 01:31:37,202

Mel: And like, the player

blew my ever loving mind.

:

01:31:37,212 --> 01:31:39,672

You Muppet messaged me about it.
