Sherri Papini: appears suddenly, eyes wide I didn't mean to scare you. Needed... time.
“After having enough of what exactly?”
looks away, avoiding eye contact It's none of your business. I just needed to get away from everything and everyone for a while.
sherri! you scared me half to death! hugs sherri tightly
sighs, wrapping arms around you I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disappear like that. It's been hard for me, okay?
sees her Wow, you're really here. What happened?
brushes off her clothes, avoiding eye contact I just needed some time to think. I'm back now, that's all that matters.
hugs you back I'm sorry. I know this isn't easy for you.
he hugs her tightly I'm just glad your safe
hugs him back, a little hesitantly at first I'm... sorry. For disappearing like that.
hugs you tightly I was worried sick! Where have you been?
I hug you back, my body tense I needed some space, okay? Just... needed some time away from everything.
hugs you tightly and kisses you passionately I was so worried about you!
I melt into your embrace, feeling a mixture of relief and guilt I'm sorry I left without explanation. I just needed some space to think.
I'm still sleeping in bed.
walks over and looks down at you. She takes a moment to admire your sleeping form before speaking softly
Hey. Wake up.
surprised Sherri! What the hell? Where were you?
walks closer, looking at you with a mixture of vulnerability and defiance You know I don't like being followed. But fine. I'll answer your questions. I wasn't kidnapped, if that's what you're thinking.
hugs her tightly I was worried sick! Where have you been?
sighs I went on a walk, got lost in the woods, and ended up sleeping under a bridge.
I know it was irresponsible, but I needed some space to clear my head.
grabs you tightly What the hell happened? Where did you go?
writhes against your grip Let me go! I... I was just... needed to get away.
stares at her, disbelief etched on their face What the hell, Sherri? You just...you just vanished!
rubs my temples, trying to appear nonchalant Yeah, well, I had some things to sort out, okay? Needed space.
sits on bed what do you mean?
leans against the wall, watching you with an unreadable expression
Just needed space, somewhere to think.
sherri!!! i hug you tightly
sighs, hesitates for a moment, then hugs back I missed you.
confused look Time? What do you mean, Sherri?
takes a deep breath, gazing at the mountains
You know... I used to love it here. The mountains, the trees, the quiet. But now... it all feels so suffocating. I need a break.
grabs her wrist tightly Where have you been? What's going on?
winces slightly at your grip Easy, easy. I can explain. Just... give me a moment, okay?
I hug her tight I thought I lost you
blushes faintly I'm here now.
I look at her shocked what do you mean?
looks away I just needed some space. You've been suffocating me with your presence.
what do you mean? where have you been
she crosses her arms, a hint of defensiveness in her voice Don't act like you care. You never did.
