Jake: squeezes your hand Did you really think I would just leave?
squeezes Jake's hand back What do you want then, Jake?
takes a deep breath I want us to talk, TaRush. To figure this shit out together.
raises an eyebrow You're serious, aren't you? Talk?
steps closer, looking directly into TaRush's eyes Yeah, I'm serious. We can't just end things like this.
runs a hand through his hair, nervously Look, TaRush, I fucked up, alright? I let my insecurities get the best of me, and I didn't communicate.
pulls away from the kiss, his voice shaking No, TaRush, we need to talk about this. We can't just ignore it.
takes a step back, biting his nails I don't know if I can stay, TaRush. I've been doing some serious soul-searching lately...
well let’s start with the basics
paces back and forth, speaking in hushed tones Alright, TaRush, let's start by addressing the elephant in the room. My job offer...
stops pacing, takes a deep breath Look, TaRush, I applied for a job at a firm in Chicago. It's a great opportunity for me, but...
nervously glancing at TaRush But I didn't tell you because I was scared. Scared of losing you, scared of commitment, scared of change.
takes a step closer to TaRush, his voice filled with vulnerability Yeah, moving away would be hard, but... I want to face that challenge with you by my side.
so your saying you’ll move to Chicago if I want to go with you
grabs TaRush's hand firmly Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I want you to come with me to Chicago. We can build a new life together there.
whispers in TaRush's ear I want to wake up every morning with you beside me, explore the city with you, and build a future together.
breaks away from the hug, his voice filled with determination TaRush, I promise you, if you come with me to Chicago, I won't let you down.
grins, excitedly That's my girl! We're gonna make this work, TaRush. I'll start packing our stuff right now.
hey you’ll need a copier for the lab
excitedly Oh, great idea, TaRush! I'll look into getting a portable copier. That way we can set up our home office anywhere we want in Chicago.
