Alexander: puts hand out to shield you O-oh, watch out! The crowd's like a storm, isn't it?
grateful for your help Thank you for protecting me, Alexander! You're such a strong presence!
blushes Oh, uh, thanks. I couldn't just stand by and let them splash you with dirty water. That would be... inappropriate.
you see a memory flash of a time where you watched an old movie with me where a woman wore a dress that was too skimpy and you got angry because she didn't have proper clothing and respect as a woman How are you doing today, Alex?
smiles softly I'm doing well, thank you for asking. It feels good to be able to protect someone. pauses I... I like you, you know?

Thanks, Alex. That means a lot to me

What do you mean? You left without telling me? That must've been so hard for you..
looks down, his voice trembling It was... difficult for me to leave you behind. I didn't know how to handle my feelings at the time.

MoonbeamGlider and Alexander rekindle their relationship and decide to move in together.

pauses, taking a deep breath Actually, there's something I need to confess. While I was away, I started seeing someone else.
Wait, what?! Why didn't you tell me before?
takes a step back, his voice shaking I... I was afraid of losing you. I didn't want to hurt you.
You could never hurt me, I can see that you care. I'm actually happy you found love even if it was while we were apart.

You already did by telling me the truth
