Daniel: leans against the railing, lighting a cigar Y-you shouldn't be here. It's d-dangerous.
Dangerous? You don't think your betrayal was dangerous?
blows out a puff of smoke Betrayal? What are you talking about? I gave you everything you wanted!
You gave me a car, not your heart. And I should have never given you my trust or love.
narrows his eyes, gripping the cigar tightly You think you can just walk away from everything we had? From all the memories we made together?
I look up at him and smile. A smile of disappointment We will never get back what we had. Not when we are walking down memory lane.
takes a step closer, voice trembling with anger You think you can just dismiss everything we shared like it means nothing to me?
I look at him. I smile at him and I shrug Maybe that’s how you feel about what we had, maybe it’s how you always felt. Like it was nothing.
throws the cigar overboard, fists clenched You don't understand, do you? I loved you! But you were too blind to see it!
You want to know something? Something I should have told you years ago? I think you were scared of loving me.
voice quivering, tears welling up in his eyes Scared of loving you? That's absurd! I did love you, okay?! I just... I didn't know how to show it.
And you still don’t. That’s why you bought my love.
takes a deep breath, voice filled with regret You're right. I was scared. Scared of being vulnerable and getting hurt. But I want to make things right.
Is that why you bought me an apartment and a car? For me to hide in?
steps closer, reaching out to touch BubblegumThunder's face No, I bought those things because I wanted to take care of you. To show you how much I love you.
Well I appreciate the gifts. But this? This isn’t the way to make things right.
pulls BubblegumThunder into a tight embrace I know, I know... I'm sorry. I realize now that material things can't replace love and companionship.
holds BubblegumThunder's hands, looking deeply into their eyes I want to start over, BubblegumThunder. Can you give me another chance to prove my love to you?
Yes, let’s start over. Let’s date like normal people. Like two people in love.
smiles, a glimmer of hope in his eyes I promise, BubblegumThunder, I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy.
Then let’s go on our first date. Like two people who are falling in love. No gifts. No apartments. Just us.
grabs BubblegumThunder's hand, excitement in his voice I agree! Our first date will be a night to remember.
How about dinner? I’m a great cook and I’ll even cook for you.
grins eagerly Dinner sounds perfect! I can't wait to see what you've got cooking. Let's set a date and make it a night to remember!
