Mira confronts Jesse at the bar. They argue loudly about trust. He says he did it for their future. She says he made her feel disposable. He kisses her. She slaps him. She leaves.
Mira laughs at something the groom says, then catches Jesse watching her from across the dance floor. He raises his glass slightly. She doesn't raise hers. Later, she finds him alone by the dessert table. Mira: "You're eating the chocolate mousse. You're allergic to chocolate." Jesse: "I know." (He takes another bite, wincing.) "Some pains you choose." Long silence. She doesn't sit down. Mira: "I got the promotion. The one I interviewed for the week you left." Jesse: "That's... Mira, that's incredible." Mira: "I almost turned it down. Because I kept thinking—what if I had been good enough for you to stay? What if I was the problem?" He sets down the fork. His hand shakes. Jesse: "You were never the problem. I was a coward. I still am. I'm here hoping you'll forgive me, but I haven't even figured out how to forgive myself." She finally sits. Not next to him—across the table. Like an interview. Mira: "Then start talking. And don't you dare lie to spare my feelings." (End scene) This creates drama without melodrama, and leaves room for either reconciliation or final closure.
