<em>Insecure</em> and the Fiction of Possibility
This post contains spoilers through Season 2, Episode 8 of Insecure.
It was the conversation that had been building since the beginning of Insecure: Issa and Lawrence having the heart-to-heart they’d been needing to have since even before they broke up—in the now-gleaming kitchen of the apartment they had shared for so many years. “I’m sorry,” Lawrence said. “For not being who you expected me to be. Who I expected me to be.”
“I wanted to be better for you,” Issa replied. “Because of you.”
And then: “Lawrence, I still love you so much.”
And then: “I love you, too.”
It was soft and honest and cathartic. It was a repetition of the kitchen scene shared by Lawrence and’s Season 2 finale. But, now, the couple in question was Issa and Lawrence. And the two, having said what needed to be said, embraced, for a time that was long and meaningful and laden with s. Were they getting back together? Were they finding, finally, some closure? Were they becoming friends?
