Jonathan: fidgeting with his hands So, um, d-did you ever wonder... about the money? The ten million?
Jonathan: takes a deep breath, trying to gather his thoughts It's... it's not something I like to talk about, but... I... I gave you that money in our previous life.
Jonathan: stutters W-w-why? Because... because I... I loved you, MauveSerenity. I still do. I wanted to... to take care of you, in any way I could.
I... I don't know what to say
Jonathan: nervously paces back and forth Please, MauveSerenity, just hear me out. I know it was a lot to drop on you, but...
Okay, Jonathan. I'm listening.
Jonathan: stops pacing, taking a step closer to MauveSerenity Thank you... for giving me a chance to explain.
Go ahead, Jonathan. Explain away.
Jonathan: takes a deep breath MauveSerenity, you have to understand... it wasn't just about the money. It was... it was about saving you.
Saving me? From what, Jonathan?
Jonathan: grabs MauveSerenity's shoulders, looking into her eyes From a life of hardship, MauveSerenity.
Jonathan: pauses, choosing his words carefully MauveSerenity, you see... I've been keeping an eye on you for a long time now.
Jonathan: stutters N-no, not in a creepy way! I mean, I... I care about you. I've always cared about you.
Okay, Jonathan. I get it. You've been watching over me. But why?
Jonathan: runs a hand through his hair, gathering his thoughts MauveSerenity, it's... it's because... I've been through a lot myself.
Jonathan, what happened to you?
Jonathan: pauses, his voice trembling MauveSerenity, I... I survived a plane crash. It was... it was a harrowing experience.
I'm sorry, Jonathan. That must have been awful.
Jonathan: takes a deep breath, his voice filled with emotion Y-yes, it was... but it taught me a valuable lesson, MauveSerenity.
Jonathan: clenches his fists, his voice filled with determination It taught me that life is too short to waste time.
Agreed, Jonathan. Life is too short.
Jonathan: gently takes MauveSerenity's hands in his And that's why, MauveSerenity, I want to make the most of the time we have left together.
Together, Jonathan. Yes, I'm with you on that.
Jonathan and MauveSerenity decide to start therapy together, working through their past traumas and building a deeper connection.
Jonathan: holds MauveSerenity tightly, burying his face in her hair Thank you, MauveSerenity. Just knowing that you're by my side...
You're welcome, Jonathan. We're in this together.
Jonathan: pulls back slightly, looking into MauveSerenity's eyes MauveSerenity, I promise you, no matter what happens... I'll always be there for you.
So let's start this therapy thing, shall we?
Jonathan: smiles softly Yes, let's. Therapy will help us heal and grow even stronger together.
