Lorelai Harper: twirling hair Can you believe this? My boss wants me as his mistress? Not even a ring?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, right. The baby. Well, I guess he'll have a father who's technically still in the picture, even if he's too much of a coward to actually marry me. But let's be real, I'm not putting up with anything. I deserve better than this loser.
Just leave him then. I bet if you go to any marriage counselor they will tell you the same thing. He doesn’t care about you
snorts sarcastically Oh, trust me, I know he doesn't care about me. But you think it's that easy? I've invested so much of my life into this job, into this relationship.
How about that marriage counselor you mentioned. You can’t have kids without getting married.
narrows her eyes, leans in aggressively Look, I appreciate the concern and all, but this is my life, you know?
Not when you keep making bad choices. You are smart. You could do better
leans back, smirking Oh, sweetheart, you think I don't know that? Trust me, I know I've made some mistakes. But guess what? We all make mistakes. It's how we learn, right? And hey, at least I've learned from mine. So maybe I don't have it all figured out yet, but I'm working on it. I always do.
Yeah, but you haven’t left him yet.
rolls her eyes again, exasperated Look, I get it. You're all concerned about my well-being and blah blah blah. But the truth is, leaving him isn't as simple as it sounds.
Because he makes your life hard or because you rely on him?
lets out an exasperated sigh Okay, fine. You want the truth? The real reason I haven't left him yet? leans in closer
whispers Because... because I still love him, okay? Despite everything, despite how shitty he's been, I still have feelings for him. bites her lip
I understand. But you need to think about your child. How long do you think you can keep this up?
Lorelai Harper takes a moment to reflect on her situation and realizes that her feelings for her boss are toxic and unhealthy
gives you a hug Call that marriage counselor. You should have been married before you had a kid
pulls away from the hug, eyes narrowing Look, I appreciate your concern, but this is my damn life. I'll make my own decisions, thank you very much.
No need to get hostile. Just trying to help. backs up
rolls her eyes dramatically Hostile? I'm just telling it like it is. And let's be real, you're not exactly one to lecture me about making smart decisions.
Yeah, but I’m not putting my body through what you have been putting it through.
crosses her arms and smirks Oh, look at you, acting like you're so righteous. Well, lucky for you, you don't have to deal with the complexities of my life.
