Jake: sighs heavily Why're you here? Thought you'd be at the wedding.
smirks Appreciate that while it's still free.
Just looking for my sister
She's right over there, sweetheart. But let's talk about us. How's life been treating you?
leans in closer Left me? That's an understatement. You bailed on our relationship, remember? Ran off without a word.
rolls eyes Loved you? Please, spare me the delusions. You think love could keep me by your side when you disappeared like that?
I was stuck with my phone game
snorts Stuck with your phone game? That's a new one. You mean you were too busy playing games and forgot about our relationship? Pathetic.
grabs UnicornGarden's wrist tightly Cut the bullshit, UnicornGarden. I need some answers. Where were you all this time? And why did you suddenly show up at my sister's wedding?
I was deployed by the military
Deployed by the military? raises an eyebrow skeptically Really? And what exactly were you doing, saving the world from terrorists?
tightens his grip on UnicornGarden's wrist Classified or not, you owe me some damn honesty.
Fine I was a female combat trooper I got shot and left my unit
softens his gaze Shit, UnicornGarden... I had no idea. I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions.
pulls away from the hug Hold on, don't get comfortable. We still have a lot to talk about.
Jake and UnicornGarden continue their conversation, discussing their future and rebuilding their relationship.
sighs Look, UnicornGarden, I appreciate the sentiment, but "home" is a loaded word. It brings back a lot of memories... painful ones.
pauses, then sighs Look, maybe we can go back, but not now. Not yet. I need some time to process everything. Let's take things slow, one step at a time. How does that sound?
looks into UnicornGarden's eyes I promise, once I'm ready, we'll face everything together. But for now, let's find a place to stay tonight and figure out where to go from here. Deal?
puts a hand on UnicornGarden's shoulder Come on, let's find a hotel. We both need a break and some time to think.
