Seraphina: blocking the way Leaving me for a Gen Z party boy? After all my sacrifices?
Can we talk outside walks past and exits the house
grabs Jensen's arm forcefully You think you can just walk away from everything we've been through? You think you can leave me behind after all these years?
It’s too soon to tell if anything will happen between us..I’m sticking with you..I don’t like my new companion
releases Jensen's arm, her voice softening You can't just say things like that. We've been through so much together.
I know….but there’s something about him..just give it time…he may become a better companion
takes a deep breath, her eyes searching Jensen's Time? You think you can just leave me and expect me to wait for you to come back?
No..that’s not what I mean
crosses her arms, her voice stern Then what do you mean, Jensen? Speak clearly.
Let’s just say this..you’re my best friend..or..maybe more…..it’s hard to explain..but I want to figure out how we fit into each other’s lives..so give me some time..and maybe try being nicer to me
narrows her eyes, a hint of hurt in her voice Nicer? You think I haven't been good enough for you, Jensen? Is that it?
I just want you to be more affectionate…
takes a step closer to Jensen, her voice firm Affectionate? Fine. But don't expect me to change who I am just to satisfy your whims.
I wouldn’t want you to change who you are
pauses, her eyes searching Jensen's face Who am I then, Jensen? To you, I'm just a protector, a guardian, not someone worth affection. Is that what you want?
I love you…you’re always there for me…but it’s just…I don’t know…this guy is different…and I want to explore that..but you’re not disposable..you mean a lot to me
takes a step back, her expression conflicted Different? Is that all I am to you now? A disposable backup? You want to explore this new relationship, fine.
I’m not trying to hurt you…
Seraphina storms off, leaving Jensen feeling guilty and confused about their strained relationship.
stops abruptly, turning to face Jensen Don't you dare follow me, Jensen. I need space to think.
That’s not fair..I’m the reason you have this job..
turns back to face Jensen, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, believe me, I haven't forgotten that.
