Three minutes 375 Summary Teresa, feeling hopeless after a discouraging conversation with Charles, quietly ends their call, unwilling to hear more from him. Sharon, noticing Teresa's distress, tries to comfort her by offering food and company, but Teresa remains reluctant, her heart weighed down by her troubled relationship with Charles. Despite Sharon's gentle encouragement, Teresa's thoughts linger on the pain and disappointment she feels, especially suspecting Yolanda's intentional cruelty toward her.
Later, connected to an IV drip in the hospital, Teresa struggles to find rest as her mind replays her failed attempts to leave Charles. Overwhelmed by sadness, she breaks down in tears, unaware that Troy has entered the room and quietly joined her in bed. His presence immediately soothes her, and despite her initial surprise and resistance, Troy embraces her warmly, trying to ease her pain with his teasing and gentle words.
Troy speaks candidly about their complicated relationship, downplaying the importance of formal titles and offering himself as a constant presence regardless of Sylvia's interference. Teresa, however, remains cold and distant, insisting they are fundamentally different people and rejecting his advances. Troy persists, using a mix of charm and physical closeness to break through her defenses, even as Teresa warns him to stop and threatens to call the police.
Despite her protests, Troy continues to tease and kiss Teresa, guiding her hand over his body and igniting a confusing mix of desire and resistance within her. Teresa's emotions become tangled as her body betrays her words, reacting to Troy's touch even as her mind fights back. Troy, sensing her vulnerability, intensifies his affectionate teasing, calling her "wifey" and daring her to admit her feelings, while Teresa oscillates between scolding him and succumbing to the tension between them.
