"What's up?"
"Um, uh, we didn't use any protection."
"Oh. It's okay. I'm on the pill," she assures him.

"Hey." She places her hands on his strong jaw and turns his face to hers. "I'm clean too. I wouldn't have done that with you if I wasn't. And I've heard a bit of your story with Tanya. You have nothing to be embarrassed about. She's a horrible person. And you didn't deserve to be treated like that."
He shrugs, trying to shake off the feelings of failure and shame.
