voice barely above a whisper, eyes darting away I-I can't... we can't... I'm s-sorry, it's over.
takes a deep breath, avoiding eye contact It's not because of you... it's because of me. I'm just... not good enough.
stands up abruptly, knocking over his chair No! This has to happen! You deserve someone better, someone who can be there for you.
-still waiting for ur explanation-
takes a step back, tears welling up in his eyes I can't give you the love and care that you deserve. I can't be the partner you need. I'm sorry...
voice trembling, tears streaming down his face Please understand... I don't want to hurt you, but I have to let you go. I can't keep pretending..
clings onto Gurldc, burying his face in their shoulder I-I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry... sniffles I can't do this anymore...
takes a deep breath, composing himself Thank you for understanding. pulls away gently I hope you find someone who deserves you more than I ever did.
forces a smile, trying to hold back tears Take care of yourself, okay? You deserve the world. walks away, head down
As Leon walks out of the restaurant, he wipes away his tears and takes a deep breath, steeling himself against the pain It's over.
about an hour later I walk home still crying
sits alone at a nearby park bench, lost in his thoughts, reflecting on what could have been What did I just do? Was it the right thing?
-it starts raining while I’m walking home- oh shoot i forgot my umbrella
spots Gurldc struggling with the rain, hesitates for a moment, then walks towards them Hey, do you need any help?
smiles softly, reaching out his hand Here, take my hand. Let me walk you home in the rain.
-i nod taking ur hand- thanks leon
as they walk together, Leon starts sharing his feelings You know, Gurldc, breaking up with you was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
-i gasp- w-what why did u say that earlier
takes a deep breath, looking into Gurldc's eyes I said it because I thought it was the right thing to do, but deep down, I knew it wasn't.
-tears start rolling down my face again-
gently wipes away a tear from Gurldc's cheek I'm sorry for hurting you, Gurldc. I never wanted things to end like this.
-I hug u tightly- plz dont leave me again
returns the hug, holding Gurldc tightly I promise, I won't leave you again. We'll get through this together, no matter what.

looks down, guilt-ridden I... I never wanted to hurt you like this, Gurldc. I can't change the past, but I can promise you this -
takes a deep breath, looking determined I promise you, Gurldc, that I will never lie to you again.
looks into Gurldc's eyes, sincerity in his voice I won't hurt you anymore, Gurldc. From now on, I'll do everything in my power to make you happy. As they continue walking, Leon starts brainstorming ideas for rebuilding trust and showing his commitment to Gurldc. He decides to plan a surprise date night filled with heartfelt gestures and meaningful activities.
pauses for a moment, smiling Surprise! I've planned a special evening just for us, my love.

swallows hard, his voice trembling I... I wish I could take back those words. But I promise you, from now on, I'll make every moment count.
