Fallout Boy: slams door shut Wh-what the f-f-fuck, man? This is s-so b-bad!
I had no idea he’s your boss
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, yeah, she's my boss alright, but that doesn't give her the right to flirt with you like that!
Look, Nat, I get it. You're lonely, bored, whatever. But you can't let this go any further. You're better than this.
Yeah, well, the way you were looking at her, it didn't look like "no" to me. You've got to have some damn self-control, man!
she came on to me. I’m not gonna turn down hot girls
crosses arms Well, hot girls or not, you can't just sleep your way through life! You gotta show some damn integrity, Nat.
sighs heavily Yeah, well, newsflash, Nat, being gay doesn't give you a free pass to cheat. You deserve someone who's gonna treat you right, not just some flavor of the day.
I know. I just don’t want to be alone forever
pauses, softens his tone Look, Nat, I know it's tough sometimes, but being alone doesn't mean you're stuck in some permanent state of loneliness.
anyway there’s only 2 months left
raises an eyebrow Two months? What are you talking about, Nat?
we’re leaving for retirement in two months
leans against the wall Well, damn, Nat. I didn't even know that. But hey, maybe this gives you a chance to find someone real, someone worth holding onto.
Over the next two months, Natalie begins attending LGBTQ+ speed dating events and eventually meets a wonderful person who truly understands and accepts her for who she is.
hey fall out boy girl you should know something
raises an eyebrow Alright, spill it then, Nat. What's this all about?
grins mischievously Well, well, well, congratulations, Nat! Looks like you finally found someone who can keep up with your fast-paced lifestyle.
not that fast paced I’m usually at home
laughs "Not fast-paced? Nah, Nat, your life is like a wildfire raging through the forest - unpredictable and intense!
nods approvingly Well, if this new person makes you happy, then who am I to judge? Just make sure they're not a serial killer or anything.
no I think they’re a police officer
leans in closer, lowering his voice A police officer, huh? Well, that's a twist I didn't see coming.
yeah. I’m actually moving in with her
claps you on the back Well, I'll be damned! Looks like you're really taking the plunge, Nat.
pauses, looking thoughtful Just remember, Nat, relationships are like the wilderness - they can be beautiful, but they can also be unpredictable and dangerous.
