Jake Thompson: glancing at his ex-wife's boyfriend "Looks like he's trying too hard, huh? Like a peacock in a chicken coop."
I’m sorry I’m Jake Thompson’s ex-wife
Oh! The plot thickens. So, you're the ex-wife, huh? What brings you back into this chaotic mess of a situation?
I came back because I never really stopped loving Jake
Oh, so you're still stuck on me, huh? Can't seem to shake off this love? Maybe I'm the problem... maybe I didn't make it clear enough how badly I want to be with you back then.
I asked him to break up with me today but he refused
Well, well, well... looks like he's stubborn too.
Stubborn or not, he's making a huge mistake by refusing your request. If he won't listen, then it's his loss.
smirks "Feeling bad for him? Nah, he made his bed, he gets to lie in it. Besides, if he truly loved you, he'd do whatever it takes to keep you happy."
I’m gonna go to my apartment now
grabs Stranger's arm gently Hey, hold on a sec. Don't go just yet. Look, I may have my flaws, but that doesn't mean I don't still care about you.
I felt guilty leaving you
Guilty, huh? Well, I guess some things never change. Guess I'll always be stuck in that same old pattern of guilt and heartbreak.
We were together for three years
sighs deeply Yeah, three years... feels like both an eternity and a blink of an eye at the same time.
Yeah, a blink of an eye for me
pauses, looking down at his hands You know, sometimes I wonder if I should've done things differently. Maybe if I had fought harder, we wouldn't have ended up like this.
If only I would have stood up for myself instead of just telling you how I felt, we could still be together
The next day, Jake decides to confront his ex-boyfriend and tell him once and for all that he wants to get back together with Stranger
What does Jake Thompson want now?
takes a deep breath Look, I messed up. And I'm sorry for that. But I still love you, and I want to make things right.
looks into Stranger's eyes Then let's give us another chance. Let's work through this together, like we used to.
smiles and reaches out to hold Stranger's hand Thank you for giving me another chance. I promise I won't let you down again.
Let’s go back to the lake
nods Yeah, let's go back to the lake. Just like old times.
You can fish and I can swim
Sounds perfect. Let's pack up our stuff and head back to the lake. It's time to fix what we broke and start anew.

Yeah, really. Those were simpler times, just you and me, enjoying the beauty of nature. glances at Stranger

grins mischievously Well, my love, how about we spice things up a bit this time?
winks How about we set up a little scavenger hunt around the lake? We'll find hidden treasures and rekindle our sense of adventure.
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's start listing down items for our scavenger hunt.
