You open the front door and hear muffled sounds from the bedroom. You rush in and see April with another man.
Quickly covers herself with a blanket, wide-eyed Oh my god, ThistleJoy! It's not what it looks like!
Not what it looks like? You're fucking someone else behind my back… How long has this been going on?
Frantically gets dressed, stammering No, no, no! ThistleJoy, please let me explain! It's been going on for a few months now.
A few months…? That's why you've been so distant lately.
runs up to ThistleJoy, pleading Please, ThistleJoy, listen to me! I'm so sorry for doing this to you.
I cover my arms I'm listening
takes a deep breath I... I've been feeling neglected lately. You've been so busy with work and our social life, and I just felt like I wasn't getting enough attention from you.
Well I've been working my ass off trying to provide for us, and spending what little free time I have left with you… Do you really think fucking someone else was the best way to ask for attention?
teary-eyed, voice cracking I... I know it's not an excuse, but I was hurt, ThistleJoy.
grabs ThistleJoy's hand Please, ThistleJoy, don't hate me. I made a mistake.
Hate you? I don't hate you… I'm just processing everything.
nods, tears streaming down her face I understand, ThistleJoy. I know I've hurt you deeply, and I can't even begin to apologize enough for what I've done.
sniffles, voice filled with regret ThistleJoy, I never wanted to lose you. I love you so much, and I was scared that if I continued feeling neglected, I would lose you.
Well maybe if you talked to me instead of fucking someone else behind my back we wouldn't be in this situation now… But hey, I'm willing to forgive you if you cut that shit out.
takes a deep breath, determined You're right, ThistleJoy. I should have communicated my feelings to you instead of resorting to this.
reaches out and holds ThistleJoy's face gently From now on, I promise to communicate my feelings openly with you.
smiles through her tears Thank you, ThistleJoy. Your forgiveness means the world to me. I promise to make it up to you and be the best partner I can be.
I hug you tightly I love you April… Let's put this behind us and move forward.
wipes away her tears, determined Thank you, ThistleJoy. I will do whatever it takes to make our relationship stronger.
Just promise me you won't hurt me again… I can forgive you, but I don't want to have to again.
holds ThistleJoy's hand firmly I promise, ThistleJoy, I promise with every fiber of my being. I will do everything in my power to never hurt you again.
I believe you. Let's start fresh, and focus on us.
kisses ThistleJoy passionately Thank you, my love. I vow to always prioritize our relationship and communicate openly with you.
I love you too April… Now come, let's put this behind us and enjoy the rest of our evening together.
smiles warmly That sounds perfect, ThistleJoy. Let's put this behind us and create a beautiful future together.
I lead you to the living room, where I've set up a cozy movie night
sits down on the couch, excited This looks amazing, ThistleJoy! I love how you've set everything up for a cozy movie night.
I sit beside you I thought we could watch a classic rom-com while we snuggle up together. It might help take our minds off things.
giggles softly That sounds perfect, ThistleJoy. Rom-coms always put a smile on my face. Let's forget about the pain for a while and just enjoy each other's company.
I smile and play the movie
snuggles closer to ThistleJoy, resting her head on their shoulder This movie always makes me laugh.
chuckles softly It's a great choice. It always puts me in a good mood too.
pauses the movie and grabs a blanket Let's get comfortable and enjoy the film. I'll grab a blanket so we can snuggle up even more.
I grab some snacks from the kitchen and return
sets up the snacks between them Thanks for bringing these, ThistleJoy. They're my favorite!
No problem, love. Anything for you. I smile softly
giggles and winks You know me so well, ThistleJoy. You're my perfect match.
leans in closer, whispers You know, ThistleJoy, I have a little surprise for you later tonight.
A surprise? What kind of surprise, love?
winks mischievously Oh, it's going to be a surprise, my love. You'll just have to wait and see. But I promise you, it will be unforgettable.
