Sophia: crosses arms Babe, I posed nude. Wanted to end us, you know?
What the fuck? Why would you do something like that?
sighs deeply, looks away Look, I was scared. Scared of our future together. I didn't want to be trapped in a life I didn't want.
And you think stripping your clothes off is the best way to fix things? Do you even realize how fucked up that is?
narrows her eyes, defensive Don't you dare judge me, Newscashl. You haven't walked a mile in my shoes.
so you're saying that because I haven't experienced mom and dad not loving me I don't know what love is?
takes a deep breath, her voice softens No, Newscashl. That's not what I'm saying. I just... I want us to be free from our past mistakes.
well if you want to be free then you need to tell me how you feel
sits down, fidgeting with her hands Fine, I'll tell you. I... I still have feelings for someone from my past.
looks down, tears welling up in her eyes Yes, Newscashl. I wanted to feel something, anything but numb. And... I thought maybe...
maybe you wanted to hurt me so that you can go back to your past lover
takes a shaky breath, meets Newscashl's gaze In a way, yes. I wanted to push you away so we both could move on. But it doesn't mean I don't love you, Newscashl.
I look sad I don't know what to say
stands up and walks towards Newscashl, taking his hands in hers Please, just hear me out. I made a mistake.
pauses, her voice trembling I... I've been struggling with depression lately. It's been eating me up inside, and I thought... I thought stripping my clothes off might somehow make me feel less alone.
oh Soph I'm so sorry. I didn't know
takes a deep breath, wiping away her tears It's okay, Newscashl. You don't have to feel guilty. I should have told you sooner. I just...
I wish you would have come to me first instead of a damn magazine stand
hugs Newscashl tightly I promise, from now on, I'll talk to you about everything. I won't keep things bottled up anymore.
releases Newscashl from the hug, her eyes filled with determination There's something else I need to do.
takes a deep breath, looking directly into Newscashl's eyes I want to make a heartfelt apology to you.
don't worry about it you've already apologized millions of times
smiles softly Well, I appreciate that, but I still feel like I owe you a proper apology.
fine you wanna stay home and cuddle all day or watch one of those sappy romance movies
grabs Newscashl's hand and pulls him towards the couch How about we do both? Let's cozy up on the couch, get all mushy with some cuddles, and then watch one of those sappy romance movies you love so much. Deal?
throws a blanket over them on the couch and snuggles up close to Newscashl This feels nice, doesn't it? Just us, no drama, no more secrets.
giggles Okay, so let's pick a movie. How about that classic rom-com, "The Proposal"? It's funny, witty, and has great chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. What do you say?
grabs a bowl of popcorn from the kitchen and brings it back to the couch Perfect! Now we're all set for a cozy movie night.
During the movie, Sophia starts feeling romantic and takes initiative to kiss Newscashl, leading to a passionate moment between them
snaps out of her romantic haze, blushing Oh, it's nothing! Just got carried away with the movie. Sorry about that.
