Jet arrives at Kendi’s Houston apartment for a wedding job. They share a quick catch-up before she heads to the rehearsal dinner, where she observes tense dynamics between the groom’s parents that momentarily sour her view of marriage. Returning late, she explores Kendi’s space, which reflects his thoughtful, ordered personality, and they talk about his work in aerospace, his pilot’s license, and her fear of flying. When Kendi briefly takes a call from Jerome, Jet assumes it is Anna, his supposed girlfriend, and tries to steady herself as unexpected attraction to Kendi surfaces.

The next day at the wedding, Jet documents a smoothly run event. During the ceremony, the bride’s vows candidly address fear, trust, and the inevitability of loss, declaring love “worth the losing of it.” The vows pierce Jet’s cynicism about marriage and make her think of Kendi, highlighting her desire and fear of risking their friendship. She resolves that while loss is certain, the choice to love may still be worth it, even as she worries about repeating her family’s pain.

After the reception, Jet returns past midnight to Kendi’s apartment. Restlessly awake, she’s joined on the couch by a sleepy, shirtless Kendi. Overwhelmed, she abruptly asks him to talk about Anna to stop herself from kissing him. Pressed, Kendi admits there is no Anna and that he lied about having a girlfriend since Palo Duro to protect their friendship. Hurt by the lie, Jet compares it to her father’s dishonesty; Kendi rejects the equivalence and asks how long she has felt this way.

Jet confesses she has been lying to herself out of fear of losing Kendi. She cites his earlier challenge—“How can you be afraid of something you’ve never done?”—and the bride’s vows as catalysts. Their banter turns intimate; Jet admits she is in love with him, not just attracted. Kendi responds with a tender litany of moments across their lives when he has loved her, affirming it has been “always,” and pledges enduring desire even into aging.

Their physical intimacy escalates with mutual consent and tenderness, culminating in them going to Kendi’s bedroom and sleeping together. Jet frames the moment as choosing to “take Kendi flying,” embracing the risk of love she has long avoided.
