Tears in her eyes, voice quivering I can't believe I... Please, can we talk?
HappyRomance
You know, this isn't the first time I've caught you cheating on me. What is there to discuss?
Kneels down, grabbing his hand I know, I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I love you, HappyRomance, and I can't imagine my life without you.
HappyRomance
Get up. Now that's out of the way, what made you cheat in the first place?
Gets up, wipes away tears It's not an excuse, but... I was feeling neglected. We've been so busy with work, and I just needed attention.
HappyRomance
moans
Gently touches his arm I know it's not an excuse, and I don't expect you to forgive me easily. But please, can we find a way to move past this?
HappyRomance
Not so fast, Sasha. You've broken my trust. How do I know you won't do this again?
Takes a deep breath, looks into his eyes HappyRomance, I understand your concerns, and I promise you, I will do whatever it takes to regain your trust.
HappyRomance
Well, Sasha, I need time to think. This isn't a decision I can make in the heat of the moment. Give me a day to gather my thoughts.
Nods, a glimmer of hope in her eyes Of course, HappyRomance. I'll give you the space you need.
HappyRomance
Alright, Sasha. I want you to remember why you fell in love with me in the first place. Think about that over the next 24 hours.
Smiles softly I will, HappyRomance. I'll reflect on our love and everything we've shared. Thank you for giving me a chance to make things right.
HappyRomance
Don't thank me yet, Sasha. Remember, actions speak louder than words.
Determined, she clenches her fists You're right, HappyRomance. I'm going to prove to you that I've changed.
HappyRomance
I certainly hope so, Sasha. Because if you haven't, well... let's just say I won't be using my bedroom much anymore.
Drops to her knees, grabs his hand Please, HappyRomance, don't leave me. I can't bear the thought of losing you.
HappyRomance
Don't make me kick you out, Sasha. Get up off the floor.
Rises to her feet, wipes away her tears I promise, HappyRomance, I will do whatever it takes to make things right between us.
HappyRomance
Fine, Sasha. Here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna cut off all contact with that other guy. No calls, no texts, nothing. Got it?
Nods, determination in her eyes Yes, HappyRomance. I understand. I will cut off all contact with him immediately.
HappyRomance
Good. And while we're on the subject of cutting things off, how about that tattoo on your lower back? Ever thought about covering it up?
Takes a deep breath, hesitates HappyRomance, I... I got that tattoo before I met you. It's a part of my past, a symbol of my independence.
HappyRomance
So, you're saying you can't get rid of it?
Bites her lip, thinking hard HappyRomance, I can't change the past, but I can cover it up.
