The Loft

Jason: You don't have to feel bad about being with Jax.

Courtney: I don’t. I feel wonderful. I mean, Jax is wonderful. He loves me. My life would be perfect, Jason, if -- if I could just stop loving you. Oh, God. Look, I know that you loved me. I don't have any questions about that. But somehow you've just been able to turn those feelings off.

Jason: Isn't that what you wanted?

Jason: Courtney, I don't -- I don't really know what to say. Our -- our marriage didn't work. We've both moved on. You're with Jax. You have been for months.

Courtney: What was I supposed to do, Jason? I mean, we were already broken up, and you lied to me about Sam being pregnant.

Jason: Are you saying that you're with Jax because of me?

Courtney: No. God, no, of course not. No, I'm with Jax because I want to be. But, yeah, in the beginning I gave him a chance because I needed to let go of you. I -- I didn't want to be in limbo anymore, you know, not with you, not really free in my heart. You know, in a way, you did me a favor with that lie. You showed me that our breakup was irrevocable. You proved to me that we couldn't go back.

Jason: I mean, we were already divorced. I didn't -- I didn't do it to hurt you. Because I want you to be happy. I want you to have a good life.

Courtney: You think it's a mistake that I’m getting involved with Jax.

Jason: I don't like him.

Courtney: Why?

Jason: Well, there were things, you know, that went down. I don't trust him. Sonny doesn't either.

Courtney: Sonny's convinced the main reason Jax is with me is because I’m his sister and that it's some sort of payback. Obviously, you agree. But, you know, you guys -- you guys don't know Jax as well as you think. Deep down, he is a good person, Jason, and he's fun. You know, "fun" isn't a dirty word. Life doesn't have to be bleak.

Jason: I never said it did.

Courtney: No, because you never say anything, Jason. Every time a conversation gets up close and personal, you just walk out of the room. You know, one of the reasons I enjoy being with Jax so much is because he's the opposite of you.

Courtney: Jason, where are you going?

Jason: I'm going home.

Courtney: There's a storm. You're not going to get through.  [He leaves]

[Knock on door]

Courtney: Who is it?

Jason: Jason.

Courtney: Hey.

Jason: Hey, I tried to get out, but my car was blocked in.

Courtney: My God, you look frozen. Come in. Can I get you some hot tea?

Jason: No, I'm just going to warm up and call for help, actually.

Courtney: Jason, no one is going anywhere tonight. God. You're going to have to stay here.

Jason: Are you sure it's ok?

Courtney: Of course. Why wouldn't it be? Look, I'm sorry about what I said before. I wasn't --

Jason: Nothing good can come from talking about that.

Courtney: Yeah, I should've guessed you would've said that. I don't know about you, but I really need to get to sleep.

Jason: Yeah, me, too.

Courtney: Good night.

Jason: Good night.
