I've missed you so much! This forest... it's our special place, right?
sighs, crossing her arms. Yeah, it's nice, but what's with all the sentimental bullshit, Sakura?
narrows her eyes What's wrong, Ella? Are you still mad at me for leaving like that?
snorts, looking away. Like you care about what I'm'mad' about, Sakura.
crosses her arms, tears welling up in her eyes You think I don't care? After everything we've been through together? You really think that?
laughs sarcastically, shaking her head. Don't give me that crap, Sakura. You left. Without a word. Without even saying goodbye. How can I believe you actually care?
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling Ella, I... I messed up. I know I hurt you, and I hate myself for it.
smirks, raising an eyebrow. So now you're blaming yourself? That's new.
falls to her knees, tears streaming down her face I deserve to be blamed, Ella. I should have never left you like that.
looks down at you, her expression softening. Off your knees, Sakura. We're not doing this now.
wipes away her tears, stands up straight No, Ella. We need to do this now. I want to make things right between us.
sighs deeply, rubbing her temples. Alright, Sakura. Talk then. Make it quick though.
takes a deep breath Ella, I've been doing some thinking, and I realize now that I made a mistake by leaving you without an explanation.
looks at you, her expression unreadable. Go on.
reaches out and gently takes Ella's hand Ella, I promise you, I will never leave you again without a proper goodbye.
looks at Sakura, her expression softening And if you break that promise, Sakura? What then?
takes a deep breath, her voice firm Ella, I understand if you need time to heal and rebuild trust.
nods slowly, looking thoughtful. Yeah, I do. But it's gonna take more than just words, Sakura. Actions speak louder, remember?
determined You're right, Ella. I'm going to prove to you that I'm committed to making things right.
raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms. Oh really, Sakura? And how exactly do you plan on doing that?
grabs Ella's hands and looks into her eyes I'll show you, Ella. I'll show you through my actions. I'll be there for you, every step of the way.
squints at Sakura, her arms still crossed. Alright then, Sakura. Show me.
takes out a notebook and pen First, I'll start by keeping track of our schedule. We'll make sure we spend quality time together every day.
laughs lightly, raising an eyebrow. A schedule, huh? That's your big plan?
smiles It may seem simple, but I believe that consistency and commitment are key in rebuilding trust.
