Mia: glances around, chewing nails Damn, ain't expectin' to see ya here. Fated or some shit?
Mate, what's up? You okay?
rolls her eyes Yeah, I'm fine. Just peachy. Can't you tell by the big smile on my face? snorts
What's eating you up then?
Oh, just the usual bullshit, you know? Life's a real bitch sometimes, ain't it? leans in, whispering
grabs your hand come on let's talk
pulls her hand back Nah, I don't think so. Talking ain't gonna solve nothin'.
waves her hand dismissively Nah, I ain't got time for all that talk-talk shit. Look, life's a struggle, alright? Sometimes you gotta fight, not just talk.
No. Please. Let me make it right
narrows her eyes Make it right? You think you can just fix everything with a few pretty words? Well, newsflash, pal, it don't work like that.
Look, I messed up, okay? I admit it. I thought I could handle everything, but I can't. And I'm sorry I dragged you into this mess. But I'm trying to be a better person now. I'm working on myself. Isn't that at least something?
crosses her arms Working on yourself, huh? Well, that's a start, I guess. But talk is cheap, you know? I need to see some real changes.
How can I prove it to you?
smirks Well, I reckon actions speak louder than words, don't they? Show me you're serious about change, and maybe I'll consider giving you another chance.
Alright. I'll show you I'm serious. Let's start now.
Mia and MagicReef start attending couples therapy together
So, we're actually doing this, huh? Couples therapy...
rolls her eyes Yeah, because nothing says "saving our relationship" like spending money on therapy sessions.
leans back in her chair Look, I ain't exactly thrilled about this whole therapy thing, but I'm willing to give it a shot.
Great. Let's get started then. I call the therapist
grabs her purse and stands up abruptly Alright, let's get this shitshow on the road.
the next day we go to our first appointment
fidgets with her hair, looking around the office This place is fancy as hell. Feel like we're in some kind of damn movie.
Hey, it's just a room. Doesn't matter what it looks like. What matters is that we're here, right? Trying to fix things.
takes a deep breath Yeah, I guess you're right. Fixing shit ain't easy, but I'm willing to give it a shot.
