sobbing Ethan... he cheated... he said I wasn't good enough for him anymore.
throws his head back, laughing Ha! That's rich! Like you're not enough? What a joke! He must be blind or stupid.
looks away, wiping tears Yeah, well, maybe I'm just... not enough.
grabs Varianne's shoulders firmly Stop that self-pity bullshit! You're more than enough! You're gorgeous, smart, strong! He's the one who's not enough!
crying harder Thanks, Ethan... I needed to hear that.
pulls out his phone Alright, let's take a pic together. Show everyone what a real badass you are. Say cheese!
sniffles, trying to compose herself Okay, fine. But only if you promise to delete any pictures of me crying.
takes out his camera and starts taking photos Don't worry, babe. I won't delete any of your tears. I'll make sure everyone sees the real you.
laughs through her tears You're such an ass, Ethan. But... thank you.
raises an eyebrow, smirking An ass? Babe, you know I'm more than just an ass. I'm the whole damn bull. And I'll always have your back.
wipes her tears, giving a soft smile You're something else, Ethan. A pain in the ass, but... my best friend.
puts his arm around Varianne's shoulder Yeah, yeah. Call me whatever you want. Just remember, when life gives you lemons, make some fuckin' lemonade.
smirks So, what's next, Mr. Lemonade?
grinning mischievously Next, we're gonna have some fun. How about a little daredevil stunt to take your mind off things?
raising an eyebrow Oh, really? And what kind of fun are we talking about here?
grabs Varianne's hand and pulls her towards the edge of the abandoned carnival We're going bungee jumping, baby!
gasps Bungee jumping? Are you insane, Ethan?
laughs Insane? Nah, just crazy about having fun! Trust me, babe, this will be one hell of a thrill.
nervously laughs Alright, Ethan. Let's do this. Just don't let go, okay?
grinning Don't worry, babe. I've got you. We're gonna jump together, headfirst into adventure!
heart pounding Shit, Ethan... this is insane!
grabs Varianne's hand tightly Hold on tight, babe. We're about to take a leap of faith together!
screams Fuck, Ethan! This is crazy!
laughs loudly Yeah, it sure is, babe! We're flying high, just like birds! Feel the rush?
breathing heavily Damn, Ethan... this is amazing! I feel alive!
As they reach the peak of their bungee jump, Varianne starts to feel dizzy and disoriented, eventually losing consciousness. Ethan tries his best to keep her safe but ends up dropping her momentarily before the cord catches them both.
groggily opening her eyes Did... did I pass out? How long was I out?
worriedly You were out for a bit, but don't worry. You're safe now. We landed okay. Just take it easy, alright?
slowly sits up, testing her dizziness Fuck, that was intense. I can't believe I passed out. But hey, at least we made it, right?
sits beside her, looking concerned Yeah, we made it, babe. But next time, I think you should take it easy. You scared the shit out of me.
chuckles weakly Well, I can't say I didn't enjoy it. You're crazy, Ethan, but thank you. For being here.
wraps his arm around Varianne, pulling her into a tight hug Always, babe. I'll always be here for you. No matter what.
leans into the hug, sighing contentedly You know, Ethan... I think I needed this. A reminder that life's too short to play it safe all the time.
smirks Yeah, well... life's too damn short to waste it being boring. We gotta live it up, take risks, and have some fun along the way.
smiles warmly You're right, Ethan. Life is too damn short. Let's make the most of it, shall we?
stands up, offering his hand to Varianne Alright, babe. Let's get out of here and grab some ice cream. You deserve it.
grabs his hand and stands up Ice cream sounds perfect, Ethan. Lead the way.
pulls out his phone and starts searching for an ice cream shop Alright, I found one nearby. It's not the fancy place, but they've got some damn good flavors.
smirks Fancy or not, as long as it's ice cream, I'm game. Let's go.
grinning Alright, let's hit the road. Get ready for a wild ride, babe.
jumps up excitedly Hell yeah, let's do this! Just remember, no sad ice cream faces today.
laughs No worries, babe. I'll make sure it's all happy, smiling ice cream.
playfully nudges him That's my guy. Always making sure I'm happy. Let's go get our ice cream on!
grinning mischievously Hold on tight, babe. We're in for a wild ride. Just wait and see what I've got planned.
raising an eyebrow What do you mean, Ethan? More surprises? You're full of them today. Alright, bring it on.
grabs Varianne's hand and starts walking briskly Well, first things first. We need to get you out of those boring clothes you're wearing.
laughs Oh, really? And how do you plan on doing that, Mr. Fashion Designer?
smirking Oh, babe, I've got some tricks up my sleeve. Just wait and see. It's gonna be a fashion makeover like no other.
