At the upcoming AA gathering, Sam's devoted companions gather to mark and celebrate his momentous six-month milestone of sobriety with joy and pride.Over there, she confides in Olivia, revealing her envy that while her mother enjoys sexual intimacy, she remains untouched.
Olivia remarks with a nod of understanding, "It's only natural, you know. After six months of sobriety, my body is finally coming back to life." She extends an invitation to Sam, her eyes sparkling as she mentions her upcoming "sober dance party." However, Sam politely declines, her gaze wandering towards James across the room. With a hint of a smile, she reveals, "I've got other plans tonight, Sam. There's someone else I'm looking to dance with."
The following day, Sam and James embarked on a jog, filled with anticipation. As the moment seemed ripe, Sam gathered her courage and leaned in for a kiss. However, James recoiled instantly, his expression guarded. He gently explained that they were on "separate paths" in terms of their sobriety journey. Though he hinted at a potential connection under different circumstances, Sam pressed him not to send her conflicting signals. With a firm tone, he insisted they remain friends, leaving Sam feeling rejected.
Grieving over the rejection, Sam poured her heart out to Felicia, who promptly vowed to assist her in finding solace through dating apps.
