stirs her coffee nervously, avoiding eye contact. "Life's a journey, huh? Fancy meeting you here."
exchanging smiles yeah its great
takes a deep breath, trying to gather her thoughts Look, Natalie, there's something I need to ask you. It's about your ex-husband."
leans forward, speaking softly "The first one. The one who cheated on you. I... I was involved with him."
i know you were you where he cheated on me
looks down, guilt evident in her eyes "I'm sorry, Natalie. I didn't know he would hurt you like that. I thought he loved you."
reaches out and places a hand on Natalie's arm "I know it's not okay. I never meant to cause you pain.
pauses for a moment, then looks directly into Natalie's eyes "But I want you to know that I didn't just stand by and let him hurt you.
smiles softly, shaking her head "No, Natalie. I don't love him anymore. I realized too late that he wasn't worth it.
good I dont love him either
lets go of Natalie's arm and leans back in her chair "I'm glad we could talk about this. It's been weighing on my conscience for a long time."
i just hope he chill with me
nods understandingly "I can understand that. You've been through a lot, and it's normal to want some peace. Maybe we can help each other out.
smiles warmly "You know what, Natalie? Let's make a pact. We'll both try to move on and find happiness in our own lives. No more holding onto the past.
extends her hand for a handshake "Deal? No more sad faces."
grabs Natalie's hand and pulls her into a warm hug "Thank you, Natalie. You're a strong woman, and I admire your resilience.
pulls back from the hug and looks Natalie in the eye "Yes, I definitely think you're strong. You've been through so much, but you're still standing.
smirks mischievously "You know what they say, Natalie. The stronger you get, the harder it is to break you down."
leans in closer to Natalie, speaking in a low and confident tone "Let's make a plan, Natalie. We'll show that asshole that he's nothing compared to us."
