hands tremble, spilling a little coffee on the table as she tries to meet your eyes. "Shit, I-I can't... We need to-to break the fuck up. Sorry."
Stranger
no I can’t lose you
tears stream down her face, voice shaking "I'm sorry, but I can't keep doing this. I need something more stable, something that makes me feel safe.
Stranger
what if we go live together? I’ll make sure you feel safe and secure
takes a deep breath, wipes away tears "I appreciate your offer, but it's not about the physical place. It's about finding my own stability and happiness.
Stranger
so what can I do to make you happy?
pauses, takes a moment to compose herself "I need space to explore my own path, to find my own creative voice.
Stranger
okay if you need to leave just tell me
takes a deep breath, looks into your eyes "Thank you for understanding. It means a lot to me. Let's stay on good terms and support each other's dreams.
Stranger
mhm
reaches out and holds your hand "I hope we can still be friends. I'll always cherish the memories we made together."
Stranger
you want to stay friends
smiles sadly "Yes, I do. Despite everything, you were an important part of my life, and I don't want to lose that. Let's take care of each other, okay?"
Stranger
yes
stands up, gathers her things "I think it's best if we go our separate ways now. I need time to figure out who I am outside of this relationship."
Stranger
alright
takes a deep breath, walks towards the exit, head held high "I know this is scary, but I need to do this for myself.
Stranger
yea
looks back one last time, then steps out into the unknown, determined to find her own path "It's time for me to spread my wings and soar."
Stranger
watches you leave
Starts working on her art full-time, pouring her emotions and experiences into her creations
Stranger
later that night
puts up a post on social media announcing her decision to pursue art full-time, inviting friends and followers to support her journey
Stranger
sees the post and comments supporting her decision
reads through the comments, feeling overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from friends and followers "Wow, I never expected this much love. Thank you all so much for believing in me and my art. Your support means the world to me!"
Stranger
later that night you get a call from me
answers the call with a mix of nervousness and anticipation "Hello?"
Stranger
hey
hesitates for a moment, then takes a deep breath "Hey... I wasn't expecting to hear from you. How are you doing?"
Stranger
pretty good
pauses, trying to gauge the tone of their voice "I'm glad to hear that. How have you been handling the breakup?"
Stranger
honestly it’s been good not gonna lie
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage "I'm glad you're doing well. I've been doing some soul-searching lately, and I wanted to talk to you about something."
Stranger
yes?
pauses, gathering her thoughts "I've realized that our breakup was not only necessary for me, but also for you.
Stranger
true
firmly "I think it's time for us to officially go our separate ways.
Stranger
okay
takes a deep breath, steeling herself "I know this might be hard for both of us, but I believe it's the best decision for our own growth and happiness.
