Eva: clutching postcard He said I shouldn't get too comfortable.
Hey hey! I’m not that bad, am I?
rolls eyes Let’s just say you have your moments, you know? Like when you left me hanging at the bar last week.
I’m sorry, I got caught up in something!
crosses arms, hushed tone Yeah, well, your "something" better not involve another woman, because I've had enough of that drama.
Drama? Who said anything about another woman?
leans in closer, whispers I may not know what you're up to, but I can smell trouble from a mile away.
Well you’re mostly right, I am trying to get into a relationship with someone else.
pauses, hurt expression So, this is why you've been distant? You found someone else to fill the void?
No, no that’s not true. I really did get caught up in something last week. I didn’t leave you on purpose, I promise.
takes a deep breath, looks into EtherealSunsets' eyes Look, I know we've had our ups and downs, but I can't help but feel insecure when you disappear like that.
That’s not a fair statement.
narrows her eyes Not fair? How so? By simply acknowledging the truth, or do you want me to spell it out for you?
I guess you’re right, sorry. I feel bad about what I’m doing.
stands up abruptly You know what? I've had enough of this back-and-forth. If you want to pursue this other relationship, then maybe we shouldn't be together anymore.
Wait, don’t hang up all our memories together because I messed up once. We’ve been through so much already.
pauses, tears welling up in her eyes You think this is about just one mistake? It's about the trust we've built, or rather, the lack thereof.
I understand. I’ll show you I can be trustworthy.
Eva gives EtherealSunsets a chance to prove himself and work on rebuilding their relationship
A month later I told you I could be trustworthy. Here’s evidence.
looks at the evidence, her eyes widen in surprise EtherealSunsets, I... I didn't expect this. I mean, you've really shown me that you can change.
