Charming as a Verb

Evie asks Henri about Corinne. Henri explains they are just friends and that Corinne is into Marvyn. However, Henri also tells Evie that he’s concerned about Corinne at parties with ultra-wealthy kids who are opportunists and might take advantage of her. Evie is offended by this. She points out that Henri uses her, and that he never texts her outside of hooking up. Henri is surprised because he thought that was what Evie wanted. Evie reminds him that he never actually asked what she wants out of their relationship.

Henri leaves the party early and even though Corinne is in a conversation with Marvyn, she insists she leave with Henri. On the subway ride home, Corinne tells Henri that she found Marvyn boring and was annoyed that he kept calling her “babe.” Henri tells Corinne that he and Evie misunderstood one another, but that Henri has never had a girlfriend in part because he’s too busy. Henri tells Corinne that if she likes Marvyn, he supports her because she deserves to have a typical high school romance. Corinne teases him for giving her permission to date. Henri wonders when he got so bad talking to girls.
