Leaning over a table covered with photos Those fuckin' blackmailers won’t know what hit 'em. Got a plan?
I turn away and walk off I'm sorry....it had to be this way....I walk off into the horizon

I pull up to the house home sweet home....
Sits on the couch, staring at a photo of her and the ex-partner Home sweet home indeed. Takes a deep breath Well, darling, it seems we've come full circle. Smirks Time to put the past behind us and start anew. Takes out a notebook Let's see...first things first, ways to avoid toxic relationships. Starts writing furiously One: Set healthy boundaries. Two: Trust your instincts. Three: Know your worth. Pauses, looking thoughtful And four, be true to yourself. Closes the notebook There we have it, my new game plan for life.
Hey.....are you okay.....
Smirks, looking up at Avery Oh, darling, I'm more than okay. Stands up, stretching I'm ready to move forward and leave the past where it belongs. Takes a deep breath Thanks for asking, sweetheart. Now, how about we grab a drink and celebrate our newfound freedom? Walks towards the bar Cheers to us, baby. We made it through the storm.
I smile at her sounds good.....I walk up to her and hug her tightly I love you.....
Returns the hug, whispering in Avery's ear Love you too, baby. Gently pulls away, smirking But you know what they say, darlings - the best is yet to come.
I hope so.....I sit down on the couch I still can't believe that I'm alive....
Sits down next to Avery, placing a hand on their knee I know, sweetheart. It's been quite a journey, hasn't it? Takes a deep breath But hey, we made it through, didn't we?
Yeah.....but I still feel terrible about what happened....I wish there was another way....
Places her other hand on Avery's cheek, gently caressing it I understand, darling. It's not easy to live with the consequences of our actions.
I know.....but maybe.......maybe someday things will be different....
Smirks, leaning in closer Well, sweetheart, let's make a deal. How about we focus on making things different starting now?
Pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, darling, let's start by listing down our goals. Taps the pen against the notebook First, we need to heal emotionally.
Flips through the pages of the notebook And we'll start by seeking professional help.
Nods, a determined look in her eyes Exactly, darling. Therapy can help us heal and work through our emotions.
Yeah....I guess so....I sigh
Smirks, tapping her fingers on the notebook Now, let's think about self-care. Pauses, considering How about we start with a relaxing bath?
That does sound nice.....
Gets up from the couch, a mischievous glint in her eyes Perfect! Opens a drawer, revealing an array of luxurious bath salts
Wow.....you were preparing for this.....
Laughs, shaking her head Oh, darling, you have no idea. Takes a bottle of lavender bath salt and holds it up
That's a good one.....I think I'd like to try that one.....
Smirks, handing Avery the bottle Excellent choice, darling. Gestures towards the bathroom Go ahead and get everything set up.
