Hey! Are you seriously going to ignore me? After I had to resort to physical violence just to get your attention?
nope still reading my book
crosses her arms Well, if that's how you're going to act, maybe I'll just have to find someone else who appreciates me.
Oh, really? So you're okay with losing me? Fine! Maybe I don't need someone like you who can't even be bothered to acknowledge me.
storms out of the coffee shop, tears streaming down her face Fine! If that's what you want, then I'll find someone who actually cares about me!
Wait rachel..I put down my book
turns around, wiping away her tears What is it now, Jack? Did you finally realize what you lost?
narrows her eyes Prove it. Show me that you're serious about making things right.
oh gosh ok what do you want me to do
I want you to take responsibility for your actions. I want you to apologize and make amends. Can you do that?
softens her expression Alright, I appreciate the apology. Let's start fresh. How about we go out for dinner tonight? My treat.
Great! Let's go to that new Italian restaurant downtown. They have amazing pasta dishes. Meet me there at 7 pm sharp.
smiles warmly I'm looking forward to our date tonight, Jack. This could be a fresh start for us.
texts Jack "Hey, just wanted to let you know that I've been thinking a lot about us lately. I believe we can work through our issues.
calls Jack Hey, Jack! So, I've been doing some thinking, and I think it's time we address some of our underlying issues. Are you open to that?
takes a deep breath Okay, Jack. I think it's time we talk about the elephant in the room. The way you handled our last argument really hurt me.
teary-eyed It's not just about apologizing, Jack. I need you to understand how your actions made me feel. Can you do that for me?
takes a moment to compose herself Jack, when you ignored me after I slapped you, it felt like my feelings didn't matter.
sniffles I need you to prove to me that you value our relationship, Jack. Show me that you're willing to make changes and be there for me.
