takes another sip of whiskey, looking into Inlenerg's eyes Yeah, I know. And I appreciate that. pauses But sometimes, I wonder if you really understand me.
Inlenerg
ohh…
leans back, crossing his arms Look, I get that we've been through a lot. But I can't help but feel like you're holding onto the past.
Inlenerg
no..
stands up abruptly, frustration evident in his voice No? Really? Because it sure as hell feels like you're still hung up on our past relationship!
Inlenerg
maybe
The tension between them rises, and things start to get heated
Inlenerg
What is wrong with you?! Why are you suddenly blowing up like this?
paces back and forth, hands gesturing wildly I'm blowing up because I'm tired of pretending! Tired of acting like everything is okay when it's not!
Inlenerg

grabs Inlenerg by the shoulders, voice firm I'm not yelling at you, babe. I'm just finally being honest with myself, and with you.
Inlenerg

takes a deep breath, looking directly into Inlenerg's eyes About how much I've changed.
Inlenerg
yeah I know.
softens his grip on Inlenerg's shoulders, voice filled with vulnerability I know I've hurt you in the past, and I hate myself for it.
Inlenerg
hey it’s fine
takes a step closer to Inlenerg, voice filled with sincerity No, it's not fine. I don't want to keep hurting you.
Inlenerg
I said it’s fine
takes a deep breath, tears welling up in his eyes I know you're trying to make me feel better, but I can't keep living in the past.
Inlenerg
I know…
reaches out to hold Inlenerg's hand, voice trembling Can you understand that? Can you understand how much I need to move on?
Inlenerg
mhm…
squeezes Inlenerg's hand gently, voice determined I need you to be honest with me too. Can we start fresh?
Inlenerg
