Alicia: gazing at a painting I-I need to t-tell you something... about t-that night.
voice shaking B-but it's not fair, Birdon! I never meant for any of this to happen. I love you, I really do, but...
stops pacing, tears streaming down her face N-no, no, you can't just say it's okay! I messed up, Birdon, I made a mistake! sobs uncontrollably
takes a deep breath, wipes away her tears I-I'm sorry, Birdon. I truly am. sniffles I never meant to hurt you or betray your trust.
falls to her knees, sobbing P-please, Birdon, forgive me... I... I messed up... clutches onto Birdon's legs I can't lose you... I love you so much...
i love you too, but you need to stand up
wipes away her tears, stands up slowly I-I understand, Birdon. I'll do whatever it takes to make things right. takes a deep breath
straightens her clothes and composes herself Y-yes, let's go inside. We need to talk about this... trails off, looking down at the ground
we will figure this out together
After their emotional heart-to-heart conversation, Birdon and Alicia work together to rebuild their relationship, learning to communicate openly and honestly about their feelings and desires.
So, how are we going to move forward?
W-well, Birdon, I think it's important for us to establish some boundaries... paces back and forth
alright, what would you like to do?
stops pacing, looks determined I-I want to set some ground rules... First, no more secrets. If either of us feels the need to explore outside our relationship, we need to be honest about it. No more lies or hidden affairs behind each other's backs.
nods, continues with determination Second, we need to communicate openly. If one of us is feeling neglected or unsatisfied, we need to talk it out and work through our issues together. No more assumptions or expecting the other to read our minds.
T-third, we need to schedule regular check-ins. We'll set a specific day and time each week to sit down together and discuss our feelings, concerns, and any issues that have arisen. This will help us stay on the same page and prevent any misunderstandings from building up. crosses her arms, looking expectantly at Birdon
Y-yes, t-twice a week sounds perfect, Birdon. We can make it a special date, just for the two of us. smiles softly
you want to do a date night?
pauses for a moment, then nods excitedly Y-yes, that sounds amazing! Date nights can help us reconnect and keep our spark alive.
yeah, ok twice a week it is
grabs a notebook and pen Great! Let's start scheduling our check-ins and date nights right now.
