Work harder, think less.

Summary
Was talking always this exhausting? She honestly hasn’t been on enough dates in recent years to compare. Unbidden, her mind drifts to the little bench that forms a right angle out the back entrance of The Bear, and the not-cigarette breaks she takes there. She’s never tired after those: Carmy knows she can be grumpy and awkward and silent during a long day of work, and he likes talking to her anyway.

Sydney's going on dates. Carmy is not jealous. They're both nailing this "being normal" thing.

Summary
“Hey, look I wanted to—"
“Oh, hello.” She says in a much kinder voice than he’s expecting. “We’re not open yet. The Beef window opens in about two hours, though.”
Carmy’s eyes scrunch. “No. N-no that’s not. I came because I want to talk.”
Sydney’s giving him an odd look now so he elaborates. “About last night?” He tries and she’s still giving him confused eyes.
“I um. I’m-I’m really sorry, I think you might have me confused with someone else. Do we know each other?”
**********overnight, sydney wakes up remembering anything and everything.
everything except carmen.

Summary
When Carmy’s piece of shit father finally dies, the news doesn’t come through family. It’s through a lawyer. An older man with a painter’s brush mustache, a Saint Laurent checkered cashmere suit, and a Chopard on his wrist. The inheritance is clear, his ill-gotten estate is to be split between his remaining biological children. The only issue is the two clauses to the hefty windfall heading their way.
One - If any sibling can’t meet the standards of the clause, the other siblings can not share their inheritance or they forfeit their own.
Two - They must be legally married for at least one year before receiving their share.
When Carmy can see the dreams he’d be able to make a reality with that cash fade away he’d blurted out that he was engaged without thinking. Engaged to Sydney. The only issue with Carmy’s grand plan was Sydney hadn’t spoke to him since he left The Bear. Almost two years ago.

Summary
“Okay,” she said, “okay, but I mean like, when I imagine my life - like I don’t want a baby right now. If I got pregnant now… chance would be a fine fucking thing but if I got pregnant now, I would be like, hello Planned Parenthood, one abortion please.”
He laughed a little. “I’m not saying now…” he said.
“Right, well. I mean, yeah, I want my own spot and I want a book with my face on and I want a fucking star and after I’ve got all that, maybe, yeah,” she thought about Sophia, and the weight of her, the powdery, sugary smell of her, “Yeah, it would be nice. To have a little baby. But I don’t know, man, can you imagine me as a mom?”
He said nothing for several heartbeats. “Yeah,” he said, “yeah, I can.”
Sometimes, he just knocked her out.Title from Five Years Time by Noah and the Whale.

"You're sick."
"Uh-uh, no, I'm not." Carmy tries his hardest to stifle a laugh at how her voice sounds equally weak and defiant. Their shift is over and everyone has gone home. Sydney is perched in the office chair, holding her head in her hands. She's been sweating buckets and taking breaks to breathe, eyes shut tight, all day.

Summary
Her first thought is, grow up. After the blow-up, she thought every white boy with shaggy black hair was him; she was paranoid, she saw his face in cracks on the sidewalk, when she looked at trees the wrong way. She went back to New York for her summer of eating, and even though he was upstate and it was five years later, she just thought, he’s going to know I’m here, he’s going to feel it, God’s going to come to him in a dream and send him to me so he can call me a selfish bitch.

"You know when you're in college," she says, "and you meet someone in your dorm during the first week, and it's crazy and you're starved for human connection and you're attached at the hip and then like three years later you realize how many times they've made you cry?"
It's like that.
