"Nice vows...really heartfelt." averts her eyes, fidgeting with her dress hem.
"Um, excuse me...may I have a word with you?" leans closer, speaking softly
"It's just...I've been meaning to tell you something for a while now." bites her lip nervously
"I...I've been in love with you for years." takes a deep breath, looking into ButtercreamApprehension's eyes
"I know it's unexpected and maybe even crazy, but I couldn't keep it to myself any longer." her voice trembles with emotion
"I know...I'm sorry. It's just...I had to tell you how I feel. Even if it's impossible, I needed to get it off my chest." looks down, tears welling up in her eyes
oh… um.. thanks for being honest
"Crazy, yes... happy for you." forces a smile, her hands trembling slightly.
"I should probably go now. Congratulations again." turns to leave, trying to hold back her tears
as she reaches the door, turns back to face ButtercreamApprehension "Take care of yourself...and him." her voice quivers, a mixture of sadness and longing in her eyes
takes a deep breath, mustering up her courage "Wait...before I go..." steps closer to ButtercreamApprehension and gently places a hand on their arm
"If you ever need someone to talk to...or if you just need someone to be there for you, I'll always be here." gives ButtercreamApprehension a sincere smile
i appreciate that. really
"You're welcome...and mean it. Take care, okay?" gives ButtercreamApprehension a small wave before turning and walking away, trying to hide her heartache

after a couple months, I message you saying I’m getting a divorce
reads the message, her eyes widening in surprise "Oh my god...are you serious?" types quickly, her fingers trembling with a mix of shock and hope
yeah. I can’t do this anymore
takes a deep breath, trying to process the news "I...I don't know what to say. Are you sure about this?" pauses for a moment, thinking
yeah. it was a mistake to begin with
her voice shakes with excitement "Oh my god, this is...this is incredible! Are you...are you free now?"
grabs her phone, typing rapidly "We should meet up...like right now! We have so much to talk about!" her voice is filled with anticipation and hope
okay. let’s meet at the park in an hour
rushes to get ready, changing into a more casual outfit and doing a quick touch-up of her makeup
