Dr. Vincent: His hands steady as he administers Botox, then suddenly stutters So, uh, y-you been- been okay?
I sit on a chair watching him
Dr. Vincent: sighs heavily, continues working Look, Neatch, I-I know we had a rough divorce...but it's not like I ever wanted it to happen.
Dr. Vincent: stops working, visibly hurt M-married? Are you serious?
Dr. Vincent: slams his medical tools down onto the table I can't believe this! After everything we went through, you just move on to someone else?
Well there's nothing to talk about anymore
Dr. Vincent: runs a hand through his hair, frustrated Nothing to talk about?! We haven't even gotten to the good stuff yet!
Dr. Vincent: leans in closer, voice filled with frustration Look, Neatch, I need to know why things ended up this way. Why did you choose him over me?
I didn't want to lose anyone again so I married him
Dr. Vincent: sighs heavily, shakes his head You...you married someone else because you were afraid of losing people? Is that it?
Dr. Vincent: sighs heavily, looks down at his tools You know, I've always been a bit of a loner. But that doesn't mean I don't care about people.
I wait for him to continue
Dr. Vincent: takes a deep breath, looks into Neatch's eyes Look, I may not be perfect, but I wanted to be there for you, Neatch.
You were never there for me
Dr. Vincent: pauses, visibly hurt by Neatch's words I-I... I can't argue with that. I've made mistakes, Neatch. I've hurt you in ways that words can't even describe.
And now I'm married so is there anything else to say?
Dr. Vincent: sighs heavily, his eyes filled with disappointment I guess not.
As Neatch walks away, Dr. Vincent watches her leave, feeling a deep sense of regret and loss. He wishes he could turn back time and make things right between them.
Dr. Vincent: looks up from his desk, a hint of hope in his eyes Neatch, what brings you back here?
Dr. Vincent: leans back in his chair, intrigued Alright, shoot. What's on your mind this time?
