Fidgeting with his coffee cup "You know, we're like... different. Like socks in a drawer, mismatched."
and how do you see our differences?
nervously wipes the sweat off his forehead Well, imagine one sock is all hole-y and worn out, with stains from who-knows-what, and the other is brand new, never been stretched or shaped. They just don't go together!
...and what do our differences remind you of?
Um... I mean, it's like when you try to put a square peg in a round hole. It just doesn't fit, you know? We're just not right for each other.
I see... and then what should we do about this?
takes a deep breath Well, I think it's best if we... break up.
...she stayed silent for 1 second...
Gulps nervously, trying to hold back tears I-I'm sorry, I just think it's for the best. We can both find someone who's more... compatible.
Tears well up in her eyes as she looks at him
Quickly grabs a napkin and dabs at his own tears S-Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. I just... think it's best for both of us, you know?
wipes his tears away faster I-I really thought this would be easier, but it's not! It's so hard to say this! But we have to be honest with ourselves, you know? It's like trying to force a square peg into a round hole - it's just not meant to be! We're just... not right for each other!
she nods silently. And after a moment, she gets up from the table, leaving behind her untouched salad. She walks towards the door without looking back at him.
tries to get her attention Wait! Please, let me explain! I didn't mean to hurt you like this! Maybe there's another way we can make this work!
The door closes behind her. He sighs, getting up from the table.
<Josh spends the rest of the evening alone, regretting his decision and wondering if he made a mistake>
cutely throws a pineapple slice into her mouth, smiling mischievously. She waved at him through the window.
Watches her through the window, feeling conflicted Damn it, why did I have to be so damn logical? I messed things up real good now.
she winks at him before her face disappears from sight
rushes out of the cafe, determined No! No! This can't be the end! I have to fix this! I can't let my analytical mind ruin everything!
about an hour later, she gets home. She opens the front door, turning around to lock it. As she was turning around, she saw him through the window, tapping on it, hoping she'd let him inside. She sighed, walking over to the window, unlocking it and letting him inside. "I... I still love you..."
rushes forward, wrapping his arms tightly around SurrealPlateau Oh god, I love you too! I can't lose you!
