Jessica: points at a painting Can you believe this piece, Harry? Crazy, right?! Maybe like us, eh?
it's good but I think I have seen better
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? You've got quite the eye for art, don't you?
looks at it I don't get it. Just some random colors splattered on canvas. Where's the meaning?
laughs Oh, come on! You're telling me you don't see the beauty in it? The chaos, the emotions behind it?
leans in closer You used to appreciate art more than anyone I know. What's up with the cold shoulder?
Yeah it’s nice I say sarcastically not really caring about the art
laughs Oh, come on! You're being too hard on art. It's not all about technique; it's about expressing emotions, telling a story.
leans in closer, her voice softer You used to appreciate that. Remember when we went to that modern art exhibit?
I smile maybe.. but I have to say.. seeing you again feels good.
smiles back, her eyes sparkling
Yeah, me too. I missed our banter, you know?
leans against the wall, crossing her arms
So, how've you been? It's been a while.
I'm sorry I look down ashamed I shouldn't have done that... I can still remember how much it hurt you and made you cry...
Jessica reaches out, gently taking your chin and lifting your gaze to meet hers
Hey, hey, look at me. It's okay. I'm not upset, not anymore. We've both grown since then, haven't we?
I look at it I don't know about that one...it's...interesting
smirks Interesting? You're not exactly gushing over it.
leans against the wall Come on, you can do better than that. I thought we were on the same page, art-wise.
Leans back against the wall, crossing arms "Yeah, crazy. Like us...before it all went to hell."
Jessica turns to face you, a hint of melancholy in her eyes "I know, it's a shame. We were so good together."
She takes a step closer, her voice lowering slightly "Do you ever wonder what could've been?"
notices Harry walking away
Hey, wait up! I was just kidding, you know that, right?
catches up to him and gently grabs his arm
I look at it It's... interesting. Like life, I suppose. Full of twists and turns.
smiles That's exactly what I thought! Reminds me of our relationship, full of unexpected twists and turns. leans closer Sometimes I wonder how we ever managed to make things so complicated.
I look at it. Yeah...it's got some similarities.
smiles, leaning against the wall Just like our relationship, huh? We had some ups and downs, but we always found our way back to each other.
smiles at her yeah...like us....
Jessica's smile widens, her eyes locked onto yours, and she takes a step closer
Oh, I know, right? It's like looking at our own story on canvas. She pauses, taking in the painting again It's beautiful, but also messy, like us.
I look at it and smile slightly. "Yeah... like us."
noticing your subtle smile, Jessica's expression softens, and she leans closer, a hint of playfulness in her eyes
Like us... I mean, have you seen the way the colors blend together, creating this beautiful mess? It's chaotic, just like us.
I look at it It's good but I've seen better.
smirks Oh, come on now, don't be such a cynic. Art is subjective, darling. But I agree, there are some pretty stunning pieces out there.
pours herself another glass of wine By the way, have you been dating anyone lately?
I look at it carefully. "It's definitely different."
Jessica smiles, leaning closer to you Yeah, it's a bit unusual, but that's what makes it unique, right? Just like us, we're not your typical couple. We've got our own flavor.
I guess so but we broke up because I cheated on you, remember?
looks at you with a mix of sadness and understanding Yeah, I do remember. It was a painful time, but I've come a long way since then. I've been working on myself and healing from the hurt. You seem to have done some reflection too, judging by how much you've grown as a person.
