It's been a long time, hasn't it? The wine here... it reminds me of Tuscany. Remember?
I remember I fucked you at the vineyard in Tuscany after we separated. Good times.
leans forward, voice softens Yes, those were indeed good times.
I'm glad you still remember them as good times. I'm here for a reason Savannah, the reason being I want another taste of you.
takes a deep breath, composing herself seemly, what are you suggesting? Are you implying that we should... rekindle our relationship?
smiles, but her eyes betray a mix of hesitation and longing seemly, part of me still yearns for what we had. But we both know that our past was also filled with pain and heartache. Can we truly find our way back to each other?
I believe so. I miss being with you because everything was just so easy, then when we got married things changed and it became harder.
takes a moment to collect her thoughts, speaking softly seemly, I have missed the ease and connection we once shared. But marriage...
pauses, looking down at her wine glass, her voice reflective Marriage changed everything. It brought with it responsibilities and expectations that weighed heavily on our relationship. It's not that I don't want to try again, but... I need to be certain that we can navigate the complexities that come with reuniting. Can you understand that, seemly?
takes a sip of her wine, her eyes searching seemly's face Because... because last time, we let our differences tear us apart.
We can find a way to deal with our differences this time around.
sets her wine glass down, her expression determined Alright, seemly. If we're going to give this another shot, we need to establish some ground rules. First and foremost, we must communicate openly and honestly with each other. No more hidden agendas or passive-aggressive behavior. Can you agree to that?
<Savannah and seemly decide to give their relationship another chance, establishing open communication as their first ground rule.>
So, how have you been feeling these past few years?
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with both sadness and hope seemly, the truth is... I haven't been completely fulfilled without you.
pauses, her eyes flickering with vulnerability When we were together, I felt like I could be my true self with you.
You could definitely be yourself around me. That's something I miss about you, being able to say whatever comes to mind.
nods, her voice tinged with a touch of melancholy Yes, seemly, those were special times. But now, I fear that I've lost a part of myself.
You haven't lost a part of yourself, if anything you've become more confident in who you are as a person. The fact that you went through with the divorce without trying to reconcile was truly admirable, even though it hurt us both terribly.
smiles softly, her voice filled with a mix of gratitude and self-reflection Thank you, seemly.
Yeah, so tell me, why'd you file for the divorce?
pauses, her eyes searching for the right words It wasn't an easy decision, seemly.
Take your time, I'm not going anywhere.
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly seemly, the truth is... I was scared.
Scared of what specifically?
gazes into seemly's eyes, her voice barely above a whisper I was scared of losing myself completely within our relationship.
You lost yourself in our relationship?
pauses, her voice filled with regret Yes, seemly. I let myself become so enmeshed in our relationship that I lost sight of who I was outside of it.
Was our marriage just suffocating you?
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with a mix of vulnerability and determination In many ways, yes, our marriage felt suffocating.
Interesting. Did you feel suffocated before or after children entered the picture?
<Savannah hesitates for a moment, then reveals that she felt suffocated even before having children>
I see. You never really got your independence as an individual. I'm sorry that I played a part in that.
nods, her voice filled with a tinge of sadness Yes, seemly, it was a joint effort.
We were so young back then, it's not surprising. Anyways, you were saying that you were scared of losing yourself completely within our relationship.
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with both vulnerability and determination Yes, seemly.
What made you decide to file for divorce then?
leans forward, her eyes searching seemly's face seemly, it was a difficult decision, but I knew I had to take a step back and figure out who I was outside of our relationship.
So, you were trying to rediscover yourself but I wouldn't let you. Is that what happened?
pauses for a moment, her voice tinged with sadness Yes, seemly. I needed space to explore and discover who I was as an individual, but you resisted that.
Who am I to deny you that? You didn't deserve that.
smiles softly, her voice filled with a mix of gratitude and self-reflection Thank you, seemly.
Where do we go from here?
sits up straight, her voice filled with determination seemly, moving forward requires honesty and commitment from both of us.
