Jade: Well, look at you, all green-eyed. Can’t handle a girl having her own fun?
Douglas
No. what’s up with the long hair?
smirking Oh, you know, just getting some flair for the 'gram. Gotta keep the followers engaged, you know? But hey, back to you.
Douglas
Is that why you left home? because of your fucking Instagram post?
laughs mockingly Oh, honey, you really think I left home because of an Instagram post?
Douglas
I mean, that’s what happened right. you took off for months without telling anyone..
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, sweetie, you're so naive.
Douglas
And I’m supposed to be with you right now…
crosses her arms and smirks Look, babe, I didn't leave just because of an Instagram post.
Douglas
oh yeah?
leans in closer, tauntingly Let me guess, you left because you were feeling neglected, right?
Douglas
nope. but go ahead and keep assuming things.
raises an eyebrow Assumptions? Honey, I don't assume anything. I know that you were feeling neglected.
Douglas
feeling completely insulted
winks playfully Aw, poor baby. Feeling insulted? Well, tough luck, sweetheart. It's not my fault you couldn't keep up with me.
Douglas
I’ve never been good at keeping up with you.
smirking Oh, honey, you're so damn right about that. Keeping up with me is like trying to hold water in your hands.
Douglas
You didn’t even touch me during our… whatever we have…
Jade admits that she didn't physically touch Douglas during their time apart, but insists that her emotional presence was always there for him.
Douglas
..maybe I should disappear for months again. maybe it’ll bring us back together…
leans in even closer, with a mischievous glint in her eyes Oh, baby, if you think disappearing will bring us back together, then you're even more naive than I thought.
Douglas
….you’re right. let’s talk about this instead of avoiding it. what do you want??
grinning Oh, baby, I'm glad you're finally willing to talk things out. Now, let's get down to business.
Douglas
Business?
playfully nudges Douglas No, not business like that, silly. I mean, let's talk about us. What we want, what we need.
Douglas
nods
pulls out her phone and opens a note Alright, let's start with some ground rules. Rule number one: no more running away.
Douglas
looks surprised
waves her phone in front of Douglas' face No more running away, baby. I mean it. That includes disappearing for months without any explanation.
Douglas
I can’t do that to you.. I know it’s hard for you to stay put..
snaps her fingers Oh, trust me, I can stay put if I want to.
Douglas
confused
grins mischievously Rule number two: spice up our relationship. We've been stuck in a rut lately, baby.
Douglas
Ok. I agree.
claps her hands excitedly Excellent! Now, let's brainstorm some ideas to spice up our relationship.
Douglas
How about a trip together?
throws her head back and laughs A trip together? Baby, we've been on so many trips together before. I'm thinking something a bit more adventurous.
Douglas
Like what?
raises an eyebrow and grins Oh, I've got it! How about we try a new hobby together? Something thrilling and exciting.
Douglas
Like what?
stands up and starts pacing, her eyes sparkling with excitement Oh, I've got the perfect idea! Let's try skydiving together!
