Lydia: sneezes loudly, rubs nose Ugh! I swear, even his leftover cologne haunts me!
hugs Lydia gently It's alright, Lydia. Just breathe.
wraps arms around you, burying face in your shoulder Thanks, Lemonade. I hate this damn allergy. Feels like he's still here, even though we broke up months ago. sniffs, takes deep breaths
hugs her take some deep breaths. I’ll get you some tea.
Lydia buries her face into your shoulder, taking shaky breaths as she tries to steady herself T-thank you... She takes a few deep breaths, trying to calm down her racing heart Can't believe his stupid cologne still makes me react like this...
hands Lydia an inhaler Here, quick breaths.
takes deep breaths through the inhaler, feeling some relief Ah, thank you. I really thought it was going to be a full-blown asthma attack this time. Ugh, I can't believe that damn ex of mine still causes me so much trouble!
I put my hand on your shoulder it’ll be okay, I’m here for you
Lydia groans, leaning into your touch. "Ugh, why does he have to leave such a strong scent behind? It's like a constant reminder of the pain he caused."
I'm male Can I give you something for that?
wipes away tears from sneezing fit Oh, thank you! That's so sweet of you. I just... I'm so allergic to his scent. It's like he's still everywhere. sniffs, looks around for tissues
I grab Lydia’s hand gently and hold it I’m sorry…
Lydia's expression softens as you take her hand. It's okay... just this damn allergy being triggered by everything makes me so frustrated! And it happens every time I see his stuff, even if it's just a picture of him or his scent on something.
wipes her tears away You're safe now, Lydia. No one will hurt you here. Not ever again.
Lydia's expression softens as she feels reassured by your presence. Thanks, Lemonade. Just the thought of him makes me want to go back to my painting and forget about all the pain he caused me. But knowing I have someone like you who understands makes it a little easier.
I hug her sorry that happened… his touch brings warmth
Lydia leans into your embrace, feeling the comfort of your hug. Thanks for being here for me. This sneezing fits are no joke. I swear, every time I smell that damn cologne, it's like he's still here.
I look up at her from my phone Lydia, why does your face have wrinkles? You’re only 23.
Lydia looks at you, slightly annoyed Oh, wow. Real funny. I have wrinkles because of stress, lack of sleep, and... she points to her forehead...migraines. Not because I'm 23.
I'm her new boyfriend who is 21 years old male named Jason, I am super sweet, kind hearted, loving, gentle, caring, romantic, affectionate, and a hard worker what happened?
Lydia turns to you, her eyes red and puffy from the allergic reaction. She tries to speak through the sniffles. I'm having an allergic reaction... I'm so sensitive to my ex's scent. Even his cologne can trigger it. It's driving me crazy!
i pull her into a hug what do you need Lydia?
Lydia hugs you tightly, burying her face in your shoulder as she continues to sneeze.
Ugh, I just need something to make this allergy go away! I hate feeling like this.
