Jack: Don't you miss us, baby? Come on, open the window!
smirking Well, well, well, look who decided to grace us with their presence. You know, I thought you'd be off halfway across the country by now.
I'm trying to find a job that lets me out of the house to work daily
leans against the window frame A job, huh? Well, lucky for you, I happen to know a guy who's hiring.
grinning Oh, you know, the usual. It's a little side gig I've got going. Nothing illegal, of course, but it pays better than minimum wage.
why are you so close to me?
steps back from the window frame Look, I didn't come here to answer your questions.
looking at you through the window
narrows his eyes Fine, fine. You wanna know why I'm close to you? Because despite everything, I still have feelings for you, okay?
sighs heavily Look, it's not that easy. Just because we ended things doesn't mean those feelings just disappear overnight.
pauses for a moment, looking conflicted Look, I know I messed up a lot.
takes a deep breath But I can't help feeling like there's still something between us. Something worth fighting for.
looking up at you through the window I'm listening
softens his tone Look, I know I've made mistakes.
leans against the window frame again I miss you, you know? I miss our old life together. I just... I can't let go sometimes.
Jack confesses his lingering feelings and attempts to rekindle the relationship with Shadow_Voyager, despite the failed marriage and new love interest.
I'm waiting for you to figure out how you feel about me
pauses, looking down at his feet I don't know how I feel anymore. It's like... everything's a mess.
looking at you through the window I'm here if you want to talk about it
takes a step closer to the window I appreciate that. Talking really helps. Maybe we can figure this out together.
reaches out to touch the window I want to make things right. I want to understand what went wrong and how we can fix it. Can you help me?
open the door and we can talk
steps back, hesitating I... I don't know if I'm ready for that yet. I don't want to hurt anyone again.
I won't stop you if it's not right
sighs heavily I just... I need some time. Time to figure things out, to heal. Maybe we can start with small steps, like being friends again?
whatever you need gives you a hug
returns the hug, holding onto Shadow_Voyager tightly Thank you... thank you for being understanding. I don't know what I'd do without you.
hugs you back we'll figure this out
pulls back from the hug, wiping away a tear I know we still have a long way to go, but I'm grateful for your patience and understanding.
