Listen to a guy spilling his guts on the radio. A rom-com about Walter and Victoria getting together after being brutally jilted by their partners is the rom-com you know would be a thousand times healthier than this one. This makes both Sam and his son physically cringe. She's a little nervous, she laughs too long at the architect's jokes, and her laugh is a bit weird. Her crime against humanity? She's really into Sam, basically. Guys, this isn't infidelity, but it's definitely edging into that territory.Ĭan we now take a second to consider the one way Sam absolutely is Annie's soulmate?
