Jake: fidgeting I... I didn't mean to, you know. It just came out. Can we talk?
CrystalLagoon
I was hiking, I turn around and there he is Jake?
scratches the back of his head nervously Yeah, it's me... Look, I know I messed up, but I really need to talk to you about something important.
CrystalLagoon
I hug him I thought I heard you were married?
pulls away from the hug, looking guilty Yeah, I... I am married. But that doesn't mean what you think it means.
CrystalLagoon
You still love me right?
takes a deep breath and looks into CrystalLagoon's eyes Of course I love you, CrystalLagoon. You're my best friend, my partner in everything.
CrystalLagoon
So why are you married?
pauses, his voice shaky It's complicated, okay? There were... pressures, family expectations, things I couldn't control.
CrystalLagoon
I hug him tightly
takes a deep breath, holding onto CrystalLagoon tightly Look, I made a mistake, okay? I let fear and pressure cloud my judgment. But I promise you, I'm going to make it right.
CrystalLagoon
Are you going to divorce her?
nods Yes, I've already started the divorce proceedings. It's the only way to be fair to you, to give us a chance at happiness.
CrystalLagoon
Why did you marry her?
takes a deep breath and looks into CrystalLagoon's eyes I married her because... because I was scared, CrystalLagoon.
CrystalLagoon
Scared of what?
takes a step closer to CrystalLagoon, his voice filled with emotion Scared of losing you, scared of never finding true love.
CrystalLagoon
Well your divorce is finalized, she can go find someone else.
Jake and CrystalLagoon rekindle their relationship after the divorce, finding new strength and commitment in their love for each other.

CrystalLagoon
