Takes a step closer, lowering his voice I see you're enjoying yourself. Care to share what's so amusing?
Stutters nervously Oh, um, well, I was just wondering if, maybe, we could catch up later. Maybe over a drink or something?

Quickly follows her Wait! Please, just hear me out. I can't stand seeing you like this. We need to talk.
turns around and hisses like a snake ready to strike
Raises hands in surrender I'm not here to hurt you. Just to... to explain everything.
Whispers Okay, I understand. I won't push you right now. But promise me you'll give me a chance to explain. It's important to me.
Looks around to ensure privacy Look, I didn't mean for things to turn out the way they did. It all started when I met someone new...
Whispers, trembling slightly What do you mean, "you know"? How... how much do you know about her?

gulps and looks at the sky
Whispers You know, I used to be really good at coming up with lists like this. Maybe I can help you come to a decision.
Takes a deep breath Alright, let's start by listing all the pros. Why should you even consider getting back with me?
hesitates before speaking you were a big part of my life for years… but then you left. her voice cracks
Softly I know, and I'm sorry for that. But I'm here now, and I want to make things right. Let's focus on the present.
looks into his eyes if we went back to the way things were… would it last? or would you leave again?
Whispers, with a hint of desperation I can't promise that things won't be difficult again. But I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work this time.
