Nathan: leans against the wall, whispering Ever feel like a moth drawn to a flame, even when it's wrong?
runs his fingers through his hair, looking anxious Look, relyingm, I...I had a great time with you in Honolulu. But I gotta be real with you, I'm engaged.
takes a deep breath, trying to maintain eye contact It's just... it's complicated, relyingm. I can't just forget about everything for the sake of a temporary thrill.
Look, Nathan, I get it. You're committed to your fiancée. And I respect that. pauses But we both know what happened between us in Honolulu wasn't just a one-time thing, right?
shifts his weight, avoiding eye contact Yeah, I know. And it's tearing me apart, relyingm. I can't stop thinking about you, but I can't deny my commitment to her.
Well, if you ever need to talk about...us, or anything else for that matter, I'm here for you, Nathan. Remember that.

smiles well I’ll be going now for now
grabs relyingm's arm gently Wait, before you go... I wanted to say something. pauses, searching for the right words Relym, you...
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage You make me feel alive, relyingm. Like I'm living life on my terms, not just going through the motions.
Wow, Nathan. That means a lot to me. But remember, it's not just about how you make me feel...it's about being honest with each other.
nods, looking determined You're right, relyingm. I need to be honest with myself and with you.
So, what's next for you, Nathan?
