avoids eye contact I... I think we should stop seeing each other.
Whoa, woah! Let's talk about this. Is there a reason?
nervously fidgets with her fingers Well, it's... it's complicated, you know? I just think it's for the best.
Is there something more going on? Like a guy or something?
pauses, then quickly changes the subject No, no guys involved. It's just...I need some space, you know? I have to figure some things out.
Yeah, I get that. But hey, what if I want some space too?
takes a deep breath, trying to maintain composure Look, I appreciate your understanding, but this isn't about wanting space. It's about needing it.
avoids eye contact, her voice trembles I...I'm going through some personal issues, okay? It's hard for me to talk about them, and...
pulls away slightly, her voice becoming guarded Look, I appreciate your support, but this is something I need to handle on my own.
Do you mind at least telling me what happened?
takes a deep breath, then speaks quickly It's... it's something from my past. Something I thought I had dealt with a long time ago. But it's come back..
takes a shaky breath It's... it's a trauma from my childhood. I never really talked about it, and now it's resurfacing.
I'm really sorry for what you're going through. If you ever want to talk about it, I'm here.
<LemonadeContentment respects Jenny's decision to handle her personal issues on her own and slowly drifts away from the friendship.>
So, what's next for you? Are you gonna see anyone else or anything like that?
shifts uncomfortably in her seat Um, well...I don't really know. I guess I'll take some time to focus on myself first. I don't want to rush into anything.
quickly changes the subject, avoiding eye contact So, uh, how have you been lately? Any exciting developments in your life?
Well, not much, to be honest. Things have been pretty steady. Just trying to make it through the daily grind, you know?
gives a forced smile Yeah, I hear ya. Life can be so monotonous sometimes, huh? But hey, gotta keep pushing through, right?
leans forward, placing her hand on LemonadeContentment's arm Well, it was really good catching up with you today. I should get going now.
stands up abruptly Yeah, take care, okay? And um... thank you for being there for me all these years.
paces nervously Um, I guess I should probably start making some changes, huh? Gotta break free from the past and all that jazz.
