Faizon: voice trembling So, you're just gonna pack and go? Like we're nothing?
Fai... she whispers It's not like that, I'm not leaving you...
steps closer, voice shaky Don't make promises you can't keep. You always run when things get tough.
she stands up, facing him I'm not running, okay? I'm trying to figure things out. she says
crosses arms, staring her down Figure what out? The fact that you're tired of dealing with our messed up lives? Or maybe it's my fault, huh?
she grabs his hands It's not anyone's fault, Faizon. We can't control everything. she says softly
pulls his hands away, voice filled with hurt Oh, really? We can't control anything? Then why did you decide to leave without talking to me first?
she fidgets Because...because I didn't want to hurt you more than you already are. she turns around in his arms
grips her shoulders tightly More than I already am? Are you fucking kidding me? You think I'm heartless, huh? That I don't care about you?
she looks into his eyes No, Faizon, it's not that... I know you care. she whispers
softens his grip, voice cracking If you really knew me, then you'd understand how much I care about us. pauses, takes a deep breath Look, I...
she holds her breath, waiting for him to continue
takes a step back, running a hand through his hair I need some time to think. This sudden decision of yours...it's throwing me off balance.
she nods slowly Okay, Faizon. Take all the time you need. Just...please, don't shut me out. she says, her voice barely above a whisper
sighs heavily, looking down I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shut you out. It's just... pauses, searching for the right words
she reaches out, gently touching his arm We're in this together, remember? Together. she emphasizes
takes a deep breath, his voice trembling I know we're in this together, but sometimes it feels like we're drifting apart.
she leans in closer, her voice filled with determination Drifting apart? No, Faizon. We're still holding on. she whispers, giving him a hopeful smile
pauses, his gaze softening as he looks into StardustNomad's eyes You know, I've been doing some thinking lately...
she tilts her head slightly About what, Faizon?
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with raw emotion About us. About our future. And I realized that... I can't lose you.
