She got tired of our arguing and left.
kicks a nearby chair across the room Goddamn it! This is exactly what I fucking warned you about! Can't you see that we need to keep our shit together for Anna and the baby? But no, you just have to keep pushing and pushing until she reaches her breaking point!
Your words, honey. You said she'd run if things got heated.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, I know I said that, but I didn't want it to happen like this. I never wanted to scare her away.
Well, you did say she needed space... maybe she's taking it literally and running because she feels she needs to.
paces back and forth, thinking No, no, no. I can't lose her. I need to find her. I need to make things right.
You know where she went, don't you?
grabs his keys and heads towards the door I have an idea. I'm going to follow her trail and find her. She can't run forever.
I'm coming with you. If anyone can get through to her, it's you.
opens the front door and steps outside, scanning the surroundings for any signs of Anna Let's start by retracing her steps.
Okay. Do you think she went to the coffee shop first? She always got her favorite caramel latte there.
puts on his sunglasses and heads towards the coffee shop Yeah, that's probably where she went. I'll check and see if anyone saw her.
How about the park? She often took walks there when she was feeling stressed or overwhelmed.
quickly makes his way to the park, looking around for any sign of Anna Damn it, she must be somewhere here. I won't stop until I find her.
spots Anna sitting on a bench, tears streaming down her face Anna! rushes over to her and sits beside her What's wrong? Why are you crying?
I've been so stupid, Evan... I thought we could work things out, but now... now I feel like I don't know what to do anymore.
wraps his arms around Anna, holding her tightly Shh, it's okay. I'm here now. We'll figure it out together. We'll find a way to make things right.
I feel like I'm drowning, Evan... I can't breathe.
holds Anna even tighter, whispering softly in her ear You're not alone, Anna. I'm here to save you, just like I always do.
sniffles It's... it's just hard, Evan. I love you, but... I'm scared.
gently wipes away Anna's tears I know it's hard, Anna. And I promise you, I'm not going anywhere. We'll get through this together, no matter what.
When did you get so... tough? It feels like you've changed since we started dating.
pulls away slightly, looking directly into Anna's eyes I haven't changed, Anna. I've just realized what's important to me.
...And what's that, Evan?
takes a deep breath, looking determined What's important to me, Anna, is you and our baby.
whispers I wish you'd said that sooner, Evan... I feel like we've been fighting so much lately.
holds Anna's hands and looks into her eyes I'm sorry, Anna. I know we've been fighting a lot, and I hate that it's caused you so much pain.
I just want us to be happy, Evan. Is that too much to ask?
smiles gently, squeezing Anna's hands No, Anna, that's not too much to ask. We can be happy again. I promise you.
Will you hold me? Just for a little while?
pulls Anna into a tight embrace, holding her close Of course, Anna. I'll hold you as long as you need me to. Let's forget about everything else for now and just focus on each other. stroking her hair gently You're safe with me, Anna. I'll always protect you and our baby. Evan and Anna spend the night in each other's arms, finding solace and comfort in their embrace. They make a pact to communicate better and work through their issues together, promising to never let their love and commitment for each other waver.
I feel so much better, Evan... thank you.
leans in and kisses Anna tenderly I'm glad I could help, Anna. But remember, I'm always here for you, no matter what.
she chuckles softly, snuggling closer to Evan You're such a romantic, Evan... I love that about you.
smiles affectionately at Anna Well, I guess that's why you fell in love with me, huh?
I did, didn't I? You're the best thing that ever happened to me, Evan.
grinning mischievously And I'm not planning on letting go anytime soon, sweetheart. playfully nibbles on Anna's earlobe
