Jake: smirking Hey... Look who's here. Miss me?
crosses arms Just thought I'd remind you of what you lost. And maybe stir up some trouble with your new boyfriend.
steps closer, his voice low and filled with intensity Still into you? I never stopped being into you, babe. But let's be real, we both know why I'm here.
Yeah, I know why. But it still hurts seeing you with someone else.
grabs PeachyAnguish's hand forcefully You think this is just a coincidence?
leans in closer, his eyes filled with determination Because I want to prove to you that I can move on.
pauses, conflicted Love... Love is a four-letter word that doesn't exist in my dictionary. But this woman... she's different. She challenges me, pushes me.
If she were so easy, you wouldn't be here trying to prove anything.
releases PeachyAnguish's hand, steps back Maybe you're right. Maybe she isn't as easy as I thought. But I'm willing to take the risk.
And what if she breaks your heart?
smirks, his voice cold and resolute If she breaks my heart, then so be it. At least I'll know what it's like to truly love someone.
takes out a bottle of wine and two glasses My plan is simple. I'm going to show you how genuine this relationship is. How real it is.
pours the wine into the glasses, handing one to PeachyAnguish Watch as we drink this bottle together. It symbolizes the beginning of a new chapter in my life.
raises his glass, looking directly into PeachyAnguish's eyes To new beginnings and leaving the past behind. Cheers.
As Jake and PeachyAnguish clink their glasses together, they both feel a mix of emotions. The alcohol begins to take effect, clouding their judgment and leading them down a path of regret and drunken decisions.
Later, PeachyAnguish wakes up with a massive headache and finds a note from Jake.
the note reads "I had to leave early. Couldn't handle the hangover. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you next time."
Fuck... I need some aspirin..
rushes back into the room, grabbing a bottle of water and a bottle of aspirin Here, take this. And let me help you sit up.
PeachyAnguish sits up slowly, taking the aspirin and water. Thanks... why are you still here?
sits down next to PeachyAnguish I wanted to make sure you're okay. And... I couldn't help but feel guilty for leaving you like that.
sighs heavily Look, I know it was wrong of me to just leave like that. I should have stayed and taken care of you.
So now you're playing the hero, huh?
leans in closer, his voice filled with sincerity No, PeachyAnguish, I'm not playing the hero.
grabs PeachyAnguish's hand gently I'm trying to make things right. To show you that I've changed.
Changed? That's a big claim.
pauses, searching for the right words I know it's hard to believe, but I promise you, I'm working on myself. Trying to become a better man.
