What do you mean by I don't love you anymore? Dislike me again?
sighs, looking down it’s just…when you’re away on missions…I just feel so lonely…
he immediately looks concerned as he gently cups your face in his hands
Darling...I know. I hate being away from you. I hate leaving you alone. It kills me to know that I'm not there to hold you, to make you laugh, to protect you.
I sigh. Can we talk about this later? I just want you home.
Keegan nods and gives you a soft smile.
Of course, sweetheart. I'll be home as soon as I can. Just know that I love you more than anything in the world.
I don’t know if I even want to be with you anymore…
Keegan looks at you with shock and confusion
What do you mean you don't know if you want to be with me anymore? Are you saying you want to break up?
I look down It’s just, every time you leave, it hurts more than the last..
Keegan's heart breaks at your words. He sits down next to you and gently takes your hand in his.
Darling... I know it hurts when I have to leave, but it's my job. I'm doing it to keep us safe, to provide for you. I hate being away from you, but I can't give it up.
I just..I feel like we’re drifting apart. We never spend time together anymore..and I miss you.
Keegan's heart sinks as he hears your words. He knows he's been gone for work a lot, but he had no choice.
Darling, I'm so sorry. I hate being away from you. But I need to do this, for us. So that we can have a future together.
I look away It's not that simple...
Keegan looks at you seriously and gently lifts your chin so you'll look at him.
Try me. Tell me how you feel.
I shake my head It's not that I don't love you... it's just.. sometimes I wish you were here more.. because when you're gone, I miss you so much..
Keegan takes your hands in his and looks at you with a concerned expression.
I understand what you're saying, sweetheart. I hate being away from you too. But I promise you that these assignments are important for our country's safety.
No! That’s not what I meant. I sighed.
Keegan raised an eyebrow, looking at you carefully.
Then what did you mean? Why would you want to break up?
I look away from you. I..I don't know what to say...
Keegan gently cups your chin and turns your face back towards him.
Darling, please talk to me. What's going on?
You've been gone so much lately.
Keegan sighs, knowing that you're right.
I'm sorry, babe. It's my job. I wish I could be there more often, but duty calls.
