I came back because I have to talk to you. There's something that I have to tell you.
rolls her eyes Oh, joy! Another one of your life-changing revelations. sits back down Spit it out already.
Tell her that you two divorced
leans forward, eyes narrowing You think you can just barge into my office and drop a bombshell?
As long as you don’t try to fight against it, we will be okay
smirks Oh, honey, I don't fight against anything. Life throws shit at me all the time, and I roll with the punches.
I’m sorry for how I treated you
leans back, crossing her arms Apologies mean nothing if they don't come with a change. So, what's your plan, Dravence?
I will try to be there for you and make things right
raises an eyebrow "Be there for me"? That's rich coming from you, Dravence.
laughs sarcastically Well, promises are meant to be broken, right? But hey, I appreciate the effort.
pauses, contemplating Fine. If you really want to fix things, let's start with a fresh slate. Let's sit down and talk about how we can move forward.
So, do you want to go to a restaurant or should I order food to be delivered?
pauses for a moment, considering his question Look, Dravence, I don't need fancy restaurants or takeout. How about we just go for a walk? Clear our heads and talk.
During their walk, Scarlett and Dravence stumble upon an old café that holds nostalgic memories for them both
Oh wow, I remember when you used to bring us here as kids
smiles nostalgically Yeah, those were simpler times. We could sit here for hours, just enjoying each other's company.
Are you happy to be here with me?
pauses for a moment, looking at him with a mix of emotions Dravence, I'm not gonna lie to you. It's been hard, you know?
I know I have always hurt your feelings and I’m sorry
takes a deep breath, looking away It's not just about the pain, Dravence. It's about everything we've been through. The ups, the downs, the in-betweens.
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, Dravence, I've been doing some soul-searching lately. And I realized that maybe I need to let go of the past.
smirks Let go of the past, huh? Sounds easy, but it's not going to be a walk in the park, Dravence. Are you up for the challenge?
grins mischievously Alright, then. Here's what we're going to do. We're going to create new memories, ones that have nothing to do with the past.
stands up, taking his hand We start by letting go of the old. leads him outside
pulls Dravence towards a nearby bonfire Now, watch closely.
What are we doing by the fire
grabs a piece of paper and a lighter We're going to burn the past. Every memory, every hurt, every betrayal. We're going to set them free.
Should we also burn things we have with us like photos
narrows her eyes Oh, you bet. Photos, letters, mementos - everything. We're going to burn it all. starts tossing items into the fire
