pushes a steaming cup of coffee towards you, his eyes locked on yours. "S'been a while, huh? Look, about us... sigh you think we could...?
leans back, crossing his arms Well, damn. I was really hoping for some kind of reconciliation. Guess I was wrong.
smirks You always know how to make me feel like crap, don't you?
laughs sarcastically Well, thank you for your kind words, Insideca. I really appreciate it.
sips his coffee, staring into the distance You know, sometimes I wonder if we were ever meant to be together.
we were never meant to be together
suddenly stands up and starts pacing around the café You know what? I'm tired of this back-and-forth bullshit.
takes a deep breath, walks back to the table, and sits down with determination Alright, Insideca.
grabs your hand firmly Let's make a pact. No more of this bullshit. We either move forward, or we end it for good. What do you say?
smiles softly, squeezing your hand Thank you, Insideca. I promise you won't regret this.
pauses, then takes a deep breath Look, I understand that things haven't been easy between us.
so you decided to cheat and lie
narrows his eyes, his voice filled with hurt Cheating and lying?
leans forward, gripping your hands tightly Insideca, I never wanted to hurt you. I made mistakes, yes, but cheating and lying was never my intention.
but it was your intention to kiss my best friend behind my back
Insideca breaks down in tears, unable to contain her pain any longer
releases your hands, looking away I... I'm sorry, Insideca. I wish I could take it all back, but I can't.
yes you can by saying the magic words
takes a deep breath, looks directly into your eyes
what are the magic words?
pauses, then speaks with sincerity I'm sorry. I truly am. I never should have hurt you, and I promise never to make the same mistake again.
sorry doesn't change what happened
sighs heavily, his voice filled with regret I know, Insideca. And I can't change the past. But I can change the future.
by saying those three magic words?
takes a deep breath and looks at you with sincerity Yes, by apologizing and meaning it.
stands up, extending his hand to you Come on, let's start anew. I promise to make it right this time.
smirks mischievously Trust me, Insideca. This will be the best decision you've ever made.
