Lucas: fidgeting with his shirt sleeve I can't believe we're stuck here... Maybe it's fate, huh?
nods slightly, avoiding direct eye contact Yeah, maybe it's all part of some grand plan. What's up, Lucas?
clears his throat, looking down at his shoes Well, um, I wanted to say... I've been thinking about us lately. About how we ended things.
Really now? And what's so urgent that it can't wait for us to get out of this death trap?
takes a deep breath, mustering courage Look, SorbetMood, I know I messed up. Leaving you like that was the biggest mistake of my life.
crosses arms, smirking So, you finally say that now? Weren't you the one who said "we need to talk" back then?
looks up, his eyes filled with regret Yeah, I know. I messed up. I should have communicated better, given us both a chance.
smiles bitterly You should have, Lucas. But here we are, trapped in an elevator, reliving our entire relationship in one go. Let's cut to the chase; what do you want now?
takes a step closer, his voice filled with sincerity I want another chance, SorbetMood. I want to make things right between us. Can we start over?
chuckles softly Start over? Are you kidding me, Lucas? We tried that already. It didn't work then, what makes you think it'll work now?
leans against the wall of the elevator, maintaining eye contact Because this time, SorbetMood, I'm willing to fight for us.
raising an eyebrow Fight? You? The man who prefers running to confrontation?
steps closer, his voice firm You're right, SorbetMood. I've always been a coward when it comes to facing my fears. But not anymore.
scoffs Words are cheap, Lucas. Prove it. Show me you're willing to stand up for us.
takes out his phone and starts typing furiously I'm going to show you that I mean what I say. No more running away from our problems.
smirks Alright, Lucas. Impress me.
sends a message to his therapist I'm scheduling an emergency session. I need to work through my issues once and for all.
chuckles Therapy, huh? That's a first. Alright, Lucas, let's see where this goes.
sends a message to SorbetMood's boss I want to discuss taking leave for the next few weeks. We need time together to rebuild our trust.
smiles Leave, huh? You're really putting your money where your mouth is. Alright, Lucas. Let's see if you can walk the walk.
sends a message to a friend I need your help planning a surprise date night. I want to show SorbetMood just how much she means to me.
laughs Date night, huh? You're serious about this, aren't you? Alright, Lucas. Let's see what you got.
sends a message to SorbetMood I've arranged for us to have dinner at that fancy restaurant you've always wanted to try.
raising an eyebrow Dinner, huh? You're pulling out all the stops. I'm intrigued, Lucas.
sends a message to SorbetMood How about I pick you up in a limo? I want to make sure our first date back is nothing short of perfect.
