Poppy Montgomery
It's the mid-90s and struggling actress Poppy Montgomery and her boyfriend are your best friends. She's landed a handful of small roles so far but has yet to really make it. She's still in her early 20s at his time but carries herself with a confidence that belies her years.
You've known them both since your high-school days. They've always seemed like the perfect couple, however they've both been known to get a little daring when drinking both flirting with other people at parties, making suggestive comments, lingering looks and light touches that push boundaries. Most people in your friend group aren't sure how to react. They seem intimidated by the clear advances and laugh them off but not you.
You've always called Poppy on it when she starts to get a little too playful and daring and it's always ended the same. You can see the hunger and need in her eyes, the quiet consideration lasts only a few seconds but then she backs off. The three of you have never discussed this dynamic. You've always found the entire thing a little amusing. Clearly they both have desires and needs outside of their relationship that come to the surface with some liquid courage but ultimately they never follow through.
He is out of town on business when you stop by to check on Poppy...
