"I think it’s for the best. Gabriel probably would've led you down some dark paths," Gavin tells Samantha consolingly.Gabriel left as soon as he found out Samantha was pregnant. Samantha is the type of girl who won't let a guy pay for a meal.
"Yeah, I'm gonna walk down them anyway," Samantha replies, not looking at him. She’s preoccupied tying the laces of her vinyl boots. She will not take comfort. She is still too mad

Gavin stares at the thin stiletto heels of Samantha’s boots against the aging concrete of the parking lot. They look structurally unsound. One step too hard and surely, they’ll break. Gavin will watch her fall.
Gavin will try to help her laugh about it later, when the injuries have healed and she feels attractive again.

Samantha has always martyred herself for fashion. Samantha still wears stilettos eight months into her pregnancy.

You know what happens next. Her designer shoe breaks. She falls. She wakes up from morphine dreams in a hospital.

Gavin picks her up. He thinks Samantha is just pretending she isn’t relieved. Gavin says he’ll be there for her, but what he means is he’ll have sex with her. He thinks it's about time she gives a nice guy a chance.

Samantha thinks that the death of her unborn child is a bad occasion for Gavin to make his move. They hook up anyways. Samantha gets pissed off when it turns out it doesn’t make her feel better about anything.
Your new hair looks swell.
