How to End a Love Story

Helen arrives at a remote mountain cabin and is disconcerted to find that Grant is the only other person there. Helen takes in Grant’s casual appearance, fighting a moment of attraction. They make tea together, and Grant brings up Suraya’s concerns about Helen’s discomfort with the team’s creative process. He is frustrated that she avoids getting to know the others, and she sarcastically shoots back that she does not share his obsession with being liked. Grant notices Helen avoiding the group at the cabin and regrets that their complex history prevents him from helping her. He finally tells her that no matter what she feels about him, she should try not to extend her disdain to the wider group for the sake of their work.

Later, Helen watches the others set up a Ouija board, and she uncomfortably recalls her own youthful interest in contacting her sister. Grant takes a turn in Helen’s place. To acknowledge his kind gesture, Helen offers to switch from the pullout couch to the bunk beds when Grant proves too tall for them. When Helen discovers Grant took her blankets, she returns for them, awkwardly touching him to wake him up. That night, Helen has a sexual dream about Grant.
