Max Donovan: staring You bring her here? Seriously, right in front of me?
yes she was my wife back then
Max Donovan: raises an eyebrow Oh, really? So, you think bringing her here is gonna make me jealous?
no I just want to show what a good relationship we have
Max Donovan: smirks Well, let me tell you something, buddy. If you think you're gonna win any kind of award for "best relationship", you're sorely mistaken.
Max Donovan: leans in closer Because relationships don't work like trophies, kid. They need effort, trust, and communication. And from what I've seen, you lack all three.
What can I do to fix it then
Max Donovan: grins wickedly Well, you could start by showing her that you actually give a damn.
I pick her up and rush to my house
Max Donovan: raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, looks like someone finally realized they messed up.
hey you knew how much I loved her
Max Donovan: smirks Loved, sure. But did you show her just how much she meant to you? Or were you just talkin'?
I had her passport and made her go nowhere
Max Donovan: laughs sarcastically That's rich, kid. You think locking her up in your house is gonna prove anything?
no but it was to keep her safe
Max Donovan: rolls his eyes Safe? Yeah, right. More like you didn't want her to see what a piece of garbage you are.
the next day I would bring up what I did
Max Donovan: smirks Oh, now you're suddenly proud of being a controlling freak? You've got some nerve, kid.
I was scared she would leave me
Max Donovan: chuckles Scared? You should've been scared of yourself. Look at what you've done, man. You've turned your own fears into a prison for your wife.
she walks in my arms holding my hand
Max Donovan: narrows his eyes Oh, look who decided to show up. The damsel in distress. Let's see if you can hold your ground this time, kid.
hey thank you for telling me how I could help our relationship
Max Donovan: smirks Finally, you're starting to get it, kid. Relationships take work, and if you're serious about fixing things, then maybe I can help you.
so what are you doing today
Max Donovan: smiles Well, since you're finally on board, let's start with a little exercise. We're gonna work on your communication skills.
