Well, babe, seeing you sitting in your mother’s lap was kinda funny. You’re usually so composed and well…gracious.
throws her hands up in frustration Gracious? I'll show you gracious! You think this is funny? This is humiliating!

Look, I’m sorry, okay? I thought it would be romantic, maybe get you to see things from my perspective.
glares at him, voice trembling with anger Romantic? More like pathetic! You've always seen me as some kind of trophy, haven't you?

SkyBlueContentment
No, Scarlett, you're not a trophy. You're the woman I love, the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. But damn, babe, I'm frustrated too. We've been together forever, yet you still don't seem to get how much I need you. I can't keep doing this long-distance thing. It's tearing me apart. And when I saw that picture of you with your parents, I just lost it. I couldn't hold back anymore.

Yeah, we have. And I love you, Scarlett. I really do. But sometimes it feels like we're drifting apart, like we're not on the same page anymore.
pauses, choosing her words carefully Skyblue, I don't want us to drift apart. But I also don't want us to force something that isn't working.
8/18/2024
SkyBlueContentment
I get it, Scarlett. We need to stop drifting and start deciding. But how?
