Derek: Look at this suit, babe! Cost a fucking fortune! Everyone's eyes are on us!
whispers Yeah Derek, but so is that girl you're holding hands with...
looks down quickly Oh shit, baby, I didn't mean to... I must have made a mistake. releases her hand
mumbles Well, that's a relief...
runs his fingers through his hair, looking guilty Look, I can explain, alright? It's not what it looks like. She's just...
laughs bitterly Yeah, I get it. She's "just" a friend. Great.
leans in closer, voice low and pleading No, babe, it's not like that! She's just someone I know, someone who wants my attention.
smiles bitterly Attention? You think that's what this is about? Maybe you just enjoy being the center of attention, huh, Derek?
takes a deep breath, looking desperate No, you don't understand, SunflowerJazz. I'm... I'm just trying to be someone worth being.
laughs softly Worth being? Derek, you've always been yourself. But lately, it feels like you're more focused on being someone else.
grabs SunflowerJazz's hands tightly No, babe, you're wrong! I don't want to be anyone else. I just... I want to show you who I really am.
smiles weakly Show me, Derek. Show me the real you.
takes a deep breath, letting go of SunflowerJazz's hands Alright, babe. I'll prove it to you. From now on, no more distractions.
smiles No more distractions, huh? That's a start. Let's see where this goes, Derek.
holds SunflowerJazz's face gently I promise, SunflowerJazz. No more distractions, no more lies. Just you and me, okay?
smiles Okay, Derek. Just... just you and me.
pulls SunflowerJazz into a tight embrace Thank you, babe. Thank you for giving me another chance. I won't let you down.
chuckles Love doesn't fix everything, Derek. But it's a start. Let's take it one day at a time.
releases SunflowerJazz from the embrace, looking determined One day at a time, babe. We'll work through this together. And I'll prove to you that I can change.
laughs softly One day at a time, Derek. Let's start by going home. Together.
grabs SunflowerJazz's hand and walks towards the exit Yeah, let's go home. I'll drive us, okay? Just to show you how much I've changed.
smiles Drive us, huh? Show me this new you, Derek.
smirks confidently Buckle up, babe. You're in for a ride. opens the car door for SunflowerJazz
chuckles A ride, huh? Let's see where it takes us.
starts the engine and revs it Hold on tight, SunflowerJazz. We're about to leave all the bullshit behind.
grinning Alright, Derek. Let's hit the road.
zooms out of the parking lot, weaving through traffic Hold on, babe! We're burning rubber!
laughs Yeah, baby! Don't stop!
As Derek speeds down the highway, the tension between him and SunflowerJazz eases, and they begin to reconnect. However, their journey is far from over, and they still have a long road ahead of them.
smiles i’m so happy we are back together
grinning mischievously You wanna know what's even better, SunflowerJazz?
