Sherry: snatches wine glass Did youuu thinkkkk this would fix ussss?
what are you doing Sherry!?!
slams the wine glass on the table I'm done with this charade, PeriwinkleElation! Don't you see? We're not meant to be!
I thought we were getting along...
Getting along? laughs bitterly You really believe that, don't you? Well, let me wake you up to the truth! throws the wine glass against the wall
why are you acting like this Sherry.... I get upset
Acting like this? Oh, you want to know why? pauses, breathing heavily You want to know why I'm throwing a tantrum, huh?
fine. I should have asked you before but I thought we were doing good....
Good?! rolls her eyes dramatically You really think this is about "doing good"? No, PeriwinkleElation, it's about doing better for ourselves!
grabs PeriwinkleElation's collar, shaking them Better for ourselves, Sherry?! What do you even mean by that?! voice trembling with anger
lets go of PeriwinkleElation's collar, tears welling up in her eyes I'm... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell. It's just...
takes a deep breath, voice cracking It's just that... I feel lost, PeriwinkleElation. Lost without direction, without purpose.
As they embrace, Sherry breaks down in tears, releasing all the pent-up emotions and pain she had been holding onto for so long. PeriwinkleElation holds her tightly, offering comfort and support during her emotional breakdown.
you can talk to me if you want. I won't judge you.
sniffles, wipes away tears Thank you, PeriwinkleElation. I appreciate your understanding. takes a deep breath, composing herself
takes a moment to gather her thoughts, speaking with clarity and determination
Look, PeriwinkleElation, I've been doing some serious soul-searching lately, and I've come to realize that this relationship isn't fulfilling me the way it used to. It's suffocating me, strangling my creativity and spontaneity. I need to break free from it, to find myself again. PeriwinkleElation: I get it, Sherry. Sometimes things just don't work out between people, no matter how hard they try.
Are you saying you want a break up?
looks directly into PeriwinkleElation's eyes, speaking with conviction Yes, PeriwinkleElation. I'm saying that we need to go our separate ways.
takes a deep breath, looking determined Now that we've both accepted the end of our relationship, there are some things we need to address.
paces back and forth, thinking quickly First, we need to sort out the logistics. Living arrangements, financial responsibilities, and any legal documentation we might have.
those are pretty simple questions. I'll ask one at a time so you can take your time. For the living arrangements, it's okay if you stay. I can move to a new apartment.
grabs a notebook and pen, starting to jot down notes Living arrangements first.
yeah. We can split everything down the middle. You can stay here and I'll move.
starts checking off items on her list Alright, PeriwinkleElation, let's start with the bedroom. We have two options: either you stay in the master bedroom and I'll relocate to the guest room, or we can switch rooms. Which sounds more appealing to you?
whatever is easiest for you.
As they discuss the logistics of their breakup, emotions run high, and tensions rise, creating an atmosphere filled with conflict and uncertainty.
I'll take the guest room for now. you can have the master bedroom. once I move out, you'll have the whole apartment to yourself.
checks off items on her list Got it, PeriwinkleElation. So, next on the agenda is financial responsibilities.
quickly scribbles down notes Alright, let's start with our joint bank account. We'll need to figure out how to divide the assets and liabilities. Do you have any ideas or preferences?
we should probably sell the boat and split it 50/50. I don't need a car since I can walk to work. Also, should we put the house on the market?
nods thoughtfully, tapping her pen against the notebook Selling the boat makes sense, PeriwinkleElation. And yes, putting the house on the market is also a good idea.
I sigh Hopefully this goes smoothly.
speaks rapidly, listing potential complications But you know, PeriwinkleElation, complications can arise when selling the house.
flips through the notebook, cross-referencing pages Yeah, PeriwinkleElation.
exclaims excitedly There could be outstanding property taxes or liens on the title.
