The screen fades up from black to an Andy Warhol quote - "One's company, two's a crowd, and three's a party" - before dissolving into a bedroom washed in soft lighting spilling through a square window, blush sheets and tufted leather caught in that clean brightness. Addison Vodka is already lost in a kiss with Filou Fitt, the camera close enough to catch only their faces, when it drifts sideways to find Derek Savage watching from the shadows, his jaw tight. The film keeps cutting between them - her back arching under Fitt's hand, Savage's expression darkening by degrees - until the kiss finally breaks and Addison turns to him. All good? He says yes, but his face argues otherwise; this isn't what he pictured, even if he agreed to it in theory. She presses on anyway, kissing her way down her partner's chest while the score turns ominous and Savage's discomfort deepens.
It's Savage who finally breaks, calling time out. They wind up in the hallway outside, sitting side by side on the floor, a blade of window light slicing across a haze of smoke - intimate in the worst way, too close for the conversation they're having. He insists this is different from what they're used to: Fitt isn't some stranger, he's someone they'll keep running into, and that familiarity bleeds into territory he doesn't want shared. Addison calls it a one and done, but the reassurance doesn't land. When she finally tells him she's not in the mood right now and walks off, he follows anyway, stunned. Suddenly we're back to the bedroom, where she's already found her way to Fitt again, mouth and hands working over him. Savage walks in to find them tangled together; she barely looks up; he just needed a break, she says, and goes back to it. The camera lingers on Derek's face as something shifts there - not approval, exactly, but a kind of resignation - until he finally nods, all good, and climbs into bed beside them.
