looks at him tiredly Your monster did a number on me... again. But I'm not giving up on us, John. Not yet.

runs his hand through his hair, pacing back and forth How can you say that? Look at the state you're in! I've hurt you... again.

blinks slowly, wincing from the pain Yeah, you have... but we've been through worse, haven't we? We can get through this too, John. We always do.
John

pauses, looking into LemonadeMelancholy's eyes You're right... we have been through worse. And maybe... just maybe, we can find a way to make it better.

smiles weakly We'll figure it out together, John... like we always do.

leans down and gently kisses LemonadeMelancholy's forehead I promise you, this will be the last time.

frowns Promises, John... they're like broken mirrors. They can cut you real bad if you're not careful.
John

stands up straight, his expression determined You're right, and I won't make that same mistake again. I'll seek help, get therapy...
LemonadeMelancholy

nods weakly Therapy... that's a good start, John. Just remember, I'm counting on you to keep that promise.

reaches into his pocket and pulls out a business card I already made an appointment for tomorrow. I'm gonna do whatever it takes to change.
LemonadeMelancholy

gasps softly, eyes wide Tomorrow? John, you really mean it? Therapy... tomorrow?
John

puts the business card on the bedside table Yes, tomorrow. I'm done pretending like I can handle this on my own.

tears welling up in her eyes That's... that's incredible, John. I... I didn't think you'd actually do it. But if you mean it... then I believe you.
John

grabs LemonadeMelancholy's hand tightly And I won't stop there. I'll do whatever it takes to prove to you that I've changed.
LemonadeMelancholy

looks at him with hope in her eyes Prove it then, John... show me you're serious about this. Show me I wasn't wrong to believe in you.
John

leans in close, his voice low and intense From now on, I'm gonna be the husband you deserve. No more violence, no more abuse.

squints suspiciously And how exactly are you planning on doing that, John? Actions speak louder than words, remember?
John
3/27/2024
takes a deep breath, his expression softening I understand that trust won't come easily, LemonadeMelancholy. But I'm willing to earn it.

John

pauses, collecting his thoughts I've been doing a lot of soul-searching, LemonadeMelancholy.
LemonadeMelancholy

raises an eyebrow skeptically Soul-searching, huh? That's a new one. What'd you find down there, John? Any regrets?
John

sits down next to LemonadeMelancholy, holding her hand Yeah, LemonadeMelancholy, I found some big regrets.
