Sebastian: slamming his drink down What the HELL, man?! You're, like, HIS ex-wife? This is MESSED UP!!!
listening to you two I slowly back away and bump into someone else sorry
rolls his eyes Great, just what we need, another clumsy person ruining the party. Can't you watch where you're going?
hey don’t be rude I’m sorry if I bumped into you because your standing in the middle of the floor not paying attention
Look, dude, I didn't mean to be rude. Just a little frustrated, that's all. Sorry for snapping at you. So, uh, what's your name?
Nice to meet you, Miya. I'm Sebastian. extends his hand for a handshake Sorry for earlier, by the way. I didn't mean to come off as rude.
I shake your hand no problem
leans in closer, voice low and apologetic Hey, Miya, since this is a company party and we're both working here, how about we team up?
Great! Let's find a way to make this night less miserable. How about we grab another drink and find a quieter spot to talk? What do you say?
grabs two drinks from the bar and leads Miya to a corner table Alright, Miya, let's find a spot where we can actually have a decent conversation.
well my ex just walked in with his wife
rolls his eyes Of course he did. Always the center of attention, that guy. Let's ignore him and focus on ourselves for the night, okay?
leans in closer, voice filled with empathy Miya, I know it's awkward being here with your ex and his wife, but sometimes it's good to face our fears head-on, you know?
Miya opens up about her painful experience of being left heartbroken by her ex-husband, sharing her emotional scars with Sebastian.
he left me broken and alone
squeezes Miya's hand gently I'm really sorry to hear that, Miya. No one deserves to be left behind like that. But you know what?
grabs Miya's other hand and looks into her eyes What I want you to know, Miya, is that you are strong.
I’m sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable
Oh, don't apologize, Miya. It's completely understandable to feel vulnerable in a situation like this. But listen to me, okay?
