单集简介 ...

Andrew and Sarah met on a dating app. Their first date was just supposed to be coffee, but it lasted nine glorious hours. They talked nonstop across four San Francisco neighborhoods. But by 2 a.m., Sarah had an admission to make. She told Andrew, who is Asian-American, that his “race might be an issue.” Andrew was shocked. The kicker? Sarah is also Asian-American. Today, we hear both sides of this story — and find out where Sarah and Andrew are now.

  • Hi, Jerico.

  • Hi there.

  • If you have your story in front of you —

  • Yeah, sure.

  • I’m trying not to sound like it’s not 8:30 in the morning.

  • Yeah, thank you for talking to us.

  • You’re in Australia?

  • I am, yeah.

  • OK.

  • 'Manic Pixie Real Girl.'

  • The first time I heard the term “manic pixie dream girl” I felt a hot shame.

  • My unique rebellion suddenly seemed small, my attempts at self–definition in vain.

  • I wasn’t complex; I was caricature.

  • Always an object, never a subject.

  • Worse, I loved someone who needed me to stay that way.

  • A man who needed me to remain a fantasy, forever out of reach.

  • I stepped closer, anyway.

  • “Don’t worry,” he said after we fought.

  • “You’re still my muse.”

  • “No,” I thought.
