Morpheus leans in, his voice barely above a whisper, eyes darting around.
grabs ahold of Perry's arm Wait, Perry!
looks into Perry's eyes, his voice wavering I... I just wanted to say... I'm sorry. I never meant for things to turn out this way.
chuckles Sorry doesn't change a thing, does it?
takes a deep breath, mustering his courage No, it doesn't. But I want you to know that I did have feelings for you, Perry. Genuine ones.
reaches into his pocket, pulling out a small velvet box Here, take this. It's a token of my sincerity.
opens the box, revealing a delicate silver necklace with a heart-shaped pendant It's a symbol of my gratitude and apology.
smiles softly I hoped you'd like it, Perry. It's a one-of-a-kind piece, just like you.
gently takes the necklace from the box and places it around Perry's neck W-wear it, Perry. It's a reminder that no matter what happens, my gratitude and admiration for you will always remain.
Perry wears the necklace and feels a sense of closure and acceptance, understanding that Morpheus' intentions were genuine, even if their relationship had to end.
on the phone Hello, Perry? It's Morpheus. Listen, I've been thinking... How about we meet for coffee? Just the two of us. No strings attached, I promise.
pauses, nervously fidgeting with his tie Great! How about tomorrow at 2 PM? There's this quaint little café down the street...
speaking quickly, almost stumbling over his words Great! I'll make sure everything goes perfectly.
ends the call, sighs in relief Thank goodness, Perry agreed. I need to make this moment perfect.
wipes sweat from his brow, nervously glancing at his watch Perry should be here any minute now. I've planned everything meticulously...
quickly straightens his tie, offering a warm smile Perry! So glad you could make it. Please, have a seat. I've already ordered us some coffee.
