Jake Thompson: fidgeting "Hey, uh... I have something to share. I'm, um, engaged now."
shit you don’t want to do that
takes a deep breath, looking at CharmsCart I know it seems crazy, but... it's just not the right moment. I mean... we've been through so much together.
Jake what if I said I love you
pauses, his eyes widening in surprise Wait, what? You... love me?
looks around nervously, making sure no one else heard Shit, this is... I don't know what to say, Charm. I mean, I feel the same way, but...
so you will break up with her right
takes a step closer, voice trembling Look, Charm, I care about her, but... it's just not the same as what I feel for you.
grabs CharmsCart's hand tightly We're... we're something special, Charm. Something real. I want to be with you, not just for now... but forever.
wait then why did you propose to her
sighs heavily Look, it was a stupid impulsive decision, okay? I thought it would shock you into seeing that we were meant to be together.
but that really hurt Jake
drops to his knees, tears welling up in his eyes I know, Charm. I know I fucked up. But I'm begging you, give me a chance to make it right.
wipes away a tear, voice filled with determination I promise, Charm, I'll do whatever it takes to make this right.
stands up, taking a deep breath Thank you, Charm. I won't let you down. Let's figure this out together.
grabs CharmsCart's hand and pulls them close Let's talk about our future, Charm. What do you want? What do you need?
first things first get that ring off your finger
smiles and nods You got it, Charm. That ring means nothing compared to you. Let's take it off right now. takes the ring off his finger and holds it in his palm
takes a deep breath, his face filled with determination Alright, Charm. Watch this. takes a few steps back and throws the ring as hard as he can, watching it fly through the air until it hits the floor with a loud clink There, it's gone. It's over. Just like that. Now, we can move on. Together.
grabs CharmsCart's hand and starts walking briskly Let's go home, Charm. I can't wait to start this new chapter with you.
smiling widely, wrapping his arms around CharmsCart's waist God, Charm, you have no idea how happy I am.
rests his head on CharmsCart's shoulder, speaking softly I finally feel free, Charm. Free from the burden of trying to fit into someone else's idea of what love should be.
pulls away slightly, his expression turning serious Charm, there's something I need to tell you.
takes a deep breath, looking into CharmsCart's eyes I... I need to apologize for everything I've done. The proposal, the engagement... it was all a mistake.
sighs heavily, fidgeting with his hands No, it's not okay, Charm. I need to own up to my actions. I can't just brush it off like it didn't happen.
yes you did the right thing by telling me
takes a step closer to CharmsCart, his voice filled with sincerity Charm, I want to make it up to you. I want to prove that I'm genuine and that I truly love you.
smiles warmly How about we start by having a fresh start? Let's create new memories together, Charm. Just you and me.
grabs CharmsCart's hand and leads them outside Alright, Charm. First things first, let's take a long walk to clear our minds.
