Mr. Setback

A young couple, Layla and Pedro, prepare to meet Layla's parents for dinner. Pedro's anxiety about making a good impression leads him to procrastinate at every step — the game, the Uber, the walk, the tie. As time slips away, Layla's frustration builds until it erupts in public, forcing Pedro to admit that his constant stalling comes from fear of rejection. After an honest moment of vulnerability, Layla reassures him, and Pedro finally takes decisive action.
