But Tyler cleared up all the rumors and told Michael that they were not dating. Michael also suspected that Colin had left him for Tyler, as Suzanne saw them both in Colin’s new home when she was passing by the same way. But Claire Lewis was already being vetted by a colleague of Michael’s, Tyler Hawkins, well known for his arrogance, exorbitant lifestyle, and good connections to people belonging to the upper crust of New York City.
Claire was going to sell her house, and Michael wanted to bag the opportunity and be the broker for the same. Her husband had left her for a much younger gym instructor, and like Colin, he had also not informed her about anything, till the time he finally left the house. They started talking, and Michael soon realized that the snooty and, at times, cold lady was going through a pretty similar situation in her life as he was. At one of the soirees organized by Stanley, Michael met an art collector named Claire Lewis. They were equally shocked because for the last 17 years, they had been used to seeing Colin with Michael, and now the breakup was like a shock that had come out of nowhere. Michael told the three most important people in his life, i.e., Suzanne, who was also a colleague Billy, the celebrity weatherman and Stanley, who owned an art gallery, about his breakup. The man had made up his mind, and the next day, Michael was not only coping with a hangover but also with this newfound sense of loneliness. But it was not going to bring Colin back. Michael gave a speech at the end of the party and told Colin how much he loved him and what he meant in his life. He didn’t know what to do and what to feel, and moreover, being around people, he had to hide all those emotions now. The party was a disaster for everyone, especially Michael. Little did he know that a bunch of excited people were waiting on the other side of the door to greet him. Also, Michael had revealed this information because he thought that they would talk about it at the dinner, which, according to him, was being attended by only the two of them.
He had found a new house, shifted his stuff, and, more than that, made up his mind about ending the relationship, and Michael, like an enamored lover, was busy planning the perfect birthday bash for him. What pinched Michael, even more, was that Colin had planned everything out without even giving him a hint. Colin had shifted his stuff to his new house, which is why the housekeeper thought that there was a burglary. Colin stepped down from the cab and told Michael that he was breaking up with him and that he had already moved out of the apartment. Everybody arrived at the venue just in time, and Michael was eagerly waiting for Colin at the gate itself. He thought that maybe he would cater to the issue, later in the day, after the party gets over. Michael had a packed day, and he didn’t have any time to process the information thoroughly. He told him that they would go for dinner in the evening, but instead, he had planned a surprise party for him.Ī few hours before the party, Michael got a call from his housekeeper, who told him that they had been robbed, though only a few select things were missing. But Michael had no intention of agreeing to what the birthday boy wanted. Colin had expressed that this time he didn’t want to throw a big party but wanted to have a quiet dinner with his partner. His 50th birthday was approaching, and Michael was excited to plan something special for that day. “Uncoupled” opens, and instantly you feel this strange sense of aloofness from Colin’s side. Colin, on the other hand, was not only a bit reserved but unintendedly coy in his mannerism and behavior.
Michael Lawson, a real estate agent, was evidently the chattier one in the relationship.
