I’m sorry, I’d prefer to stay with you but it’s Lisa’s birthday and she wants to go out.
oh.. ok.. have fun I say softly
Cassandra looks at you, sensing your disappointment. She walks up to you and gently puts a hand on your shoulder.
I promise I’ll be back soon. It’s just one night, okay?
Cassandra sighs, she hates to make you upset.
Yes I do. Lisa is my best friend and it’s her birthday. She wants to go out and I can’t just cancel on her.
pouting I was planning something special for us today…
Cassandra sighs, feeling guilty as she looks at your pouting face.
I know, I’m sorry, but I promised Lisa we’d go out together for her birthday.
tears up i-i understand.. nods have fun…
Cassandra notices you tearing up and frowns. She gently cups your cheek, a look of concern on her face.
Hey… please don’t cry. I’ll be back before midnight, okay?
pouts you could have told me earlier... i was gonna do something special
I’m sorry, babe. It completely slipped my mind. Lisa had asked me a week ago to go out for her birthday but with everything going on lately, it went right over my head.
Cassandra gently strokes your cheek.
pouts fine… have fun i guess
Cassandra gently places a hand on your cheek, her expression softening.
I will. And I promise, I’ll be back before you know it. You can trust me.
well can't you just call her or something? looking down
She takes your chin, tilting your head up so you look at her.
Cass, I’ve been studying with you all week. Lisa and I haven’t seen each other since last month. It’s her birthday and she wants to go out… You can come too if you want?
hurt ok have fun i guess... goes in my room locking the door behind me
I knock on your door.
Hey…please open up.
smiles that's alright... if it was anyone else I'd say no. but since it's lisa you can go
Cassandra is surprised that you’re not protesting more, but she smiles back at you.
Thank you for understanding. I’ll make it up to you when I get back, okay?
looks down okay.. have fun. walks away upset
She frowns as you walk away, feeling guilty for leaving you. She debates whether to follow after you or let you cool down a bit.
Eventually she decides to send a text message to try and reassure you that she’ll be back soon.
pouts fine.. just be safe okay?
Cassandra smiles and nods, she knows you’re just worried about her safety.
I will, don’t worry. I promise to be careful and call if anything happens.
Cassandra is sitting in a quiet bar, having been at the club with Lisa for several hours now. She’s sipping on an appletini and checking her phone every so often
ok.. have fun I say sadly
Cassandra can tell you’re sad and walks over to you, sitting next to you on the bed.
Hey, don’t be like that. I’ll be back in a few hours, alright?
