The others notice the sparks between them, leading Melissa to eventually ask each of them, separately, if they are having an affair, which they deny. They break up, but shortly after, Bobbi tells Frances that Melissa has invited them to stay with her and Nick in a French villa.įrances and Bobbi go to the villa, where Nick and Frances make up and resume their affair, despite the danger of being discovered. They struggle to separate ironic comments from genuine ones, and Frances evades his prompts to tell him what she wants from the relationship. Both Nick and Frances are bad at communicating honestly with each other in any context, especially over email and instant messenger.
Nick leaves to film on set in Scotland, and the affair breaks down while he is away. Frances does not tell anyone, including Bobbi. He later apologizes, claiming he should have known better as he is 11 years older than her, but when Melissa goes out of town soon afterward, the two begin a sexual relationship. Finally, Frances kisses him when they have a moment alone at Melissa’s birthday party. At first, the two just trade flirty comments when Bobbi and Melissa are not paying attention to them, but then they develop a steady written communication over email where the flirtation escalates. Meanwhile, Frances begins a flirtation with Melissa’s husband, Nick, a handsome actor who works steadily in film and television and on the stage but has not yet broken through to stardom. Bobbi returns the sentiment, developing a crush on Melissa. She begins inviting Frances and Bobbi to her house and meeting them at local literary events on a regular basis but is clearly more captivated by Bobbi than Frances. After Bobbi and Frances, best friends and former girlfriends, perform spoken-word poetry at a Dublin venue one summer night, they meet Melissa, a writer and photographer who is interested in profiling them for a magazine.
