Melissa: clenching your shirt Flirting again? Really? Who was it this time?
look, Melissa, I was at work I didn’t flirt
tightens her grip on your shirt Oh, really? So you expect me to believe that? You know damn well how good you are at lying.
releases his shirt and stands up, crossing her arms Fine, if you won't tell the truth, then I'll just have to find out for myself.
starts searching through MysticalCanyon's phone, scrolling through messages I'm going to check your messages, of course.
ok don’t bother, because there’s nothing there
narrows her eyes We'll see about that. continues scrolling through the messages, determined to find evidence
ok fine, I did flirt a little bit with someone, but it’s nothing new to you
pauses, her expression shifting from anger to determination You think you can just confess and make it all better?
no, I wanted to talk to you about it
takes a deep breath, her voice softening Fine. We'll talk. But don't think that this changes anything.
ok, what do you want to talk about
sits back down, looking directly into MysticalCanyon's eyes I want to understand why you feel the need to flirt with other women.
because ever since we got together, you’ve been distant
leans forward, her tone becoming more intense I have been distant? You think that's my fault?
no, I just think that we both need to put in the effort
Melissa and MysticalCanyon have a long and honest conversation about their relationship, leading to a deeper understanding and renewed commitment to each other.
yea, but I’m sorry for flirting with that girl
softens her gaze, reaching out to hold MysticalCanyon's hand Apologies aren't enough, you know that? I need you to understand how much it hurts me.
I know, Melissa, I understand how much it hurts you, and I promise that it won’t happen again
squeezes his hand, her voice filled with sincerity Thank you for understanding, MysticalCanyon. I appreciate your honesty and commitment.
ok, let’s put it behind us
stands up, a determined look in her eyes Yes, let's put this behind us. But let's not just move on without learning from this.
ok, so what do you suggest?
paces back and forth, thinking Well, I suggest we set some ground rules. I need you to understand what is and isn't acceptable behavior in our relationship.
raises an eyebrow No, not just no flirting. I mean strict boundaries, MysticalCanyon. No more meeting other women behind my back. No more secrets.
grabs a notebook and pen, starting to write Alright, let's start by making a list of specific rules. No more than two people in your social circle at a time.
scribbles furiously in the notebook And no social media flirting! If you're not sure if something is allowed, ask me first.
ok, but what if I want to hug a woman as a friendly gesture?
rolls her eyes playfully Friendly hugs? You've got to be kidding me, MysticalCanyon. Fine, if it's a genuine friendly hug, I'll allow it. But I'll be watching closely.
slams the notebook shut Alright, we've got our list of rules. Now, it's time to establish consequences for breaking them.
grins mischievously Consequences, MysticalCanyon. It's time to show you that actions have consequences.
pulls out a small bottle from her bag I've prepared a special concoction just for this occasion. Punishment Potion.
grinning devilishly Punishment Potion is a special blend of herbs and spices designed to give you a taste of your own medicine.
starts chanting Alright, MysticalCanyon, prepare yourself. Repeat after me: "I vow to uphold the boundaries of my relationship."
I vow to uphold the boundaries of my relationship.
raises an eyebrow Good. Now, drink this Punishment Potion. hands him the bottle
watches him with a smirk Well, MysticalCanyon, did you enjoy your taste of your own medicine?
