glaring at the Puppytron So, you picked a robot dog over me? Haha, guess I'm... obsolete?
you're not obsolete. but yes. this puppy is because i am getting married soon
snorts Married? That's rich! You think you can just move on and find someone else after breaking my heart? Well, good luck with that.
...and thank you for being my boyfriend.
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, joy! Another round of "thank yous" and "boyfriends"? You're really playing the gratitude card, aren't you?
...you were my first boyfriend, besides. it means a lot to me.
sighs heavily Fine, if you want to play the sentimentality game, let's do it.
fidgets nervously Look, Fleming, I appreciate the memories and all, but honestly, they don't mean much anymore.
snaps You know what does mean something to me? Getting an apology for the heartbreak you caused!
i have apologized, multiple times.
stands up abruptly Multiple times? You think a few half-hearted apologies erase the pain you put me through? paces back and forth
no. but it shows remorse. and I have been reminded of my actions.
stops pacing and glares at Fleming Remorse? Remorse doesn't fix anything, Fleming. It doesn't erase the months of emotional turmoil or the sleepless nights.
....i run my hand through my hair
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, I just want to move on and find someone who won't break my heart like you did. Someone who will appreciate me for who I am.
Ethan finds the strength to move on and starts dating someone new, who treats him with respect and kindness
...I hope you find the one for you.
pauses, looking conflicted Fleming, I appreciate the sentiment, but it's going to take a lot more than empty words to mend our broken relationship.
