Sighs heavily So, you're like a cat with a new owner, huh?
Holland
sips beer Sorry, you two having a thing?
rolls her eyes Don't flatter yourself, Holland. I don't have "things" anymore. You know how it is... one day it's a whirlwind romance, the next day it's over.
Holland
oh I’m sure one day we’ll find that special person who will never leave us
leans in, smirking Oh really? And what makes you so sure of that? You think you're some kind of eternal monogamy champion or something?
Holland
no I’ve been hurt twice now and I don’t want to hurt another woman because I tend to get bored easily
crosses her arms Well, maybe if you weren't so "easily bored" all the time, you'd actually make an effort to stay with someone.
Holland
it’s just when I get bored I move on until I find someone who actually interests me
takes a deep breath, trying to control her anger Look, Holland, I get it. Life can be boring sometimes. But moving on too quickly doesn't solve anything. It just keeps the cycle going.
Holland
I know but what can I do? It’s just how I am
pauses, then leans in closer How about this, Holland? Let's try something different this time.
Holland
ok what do you have in mind?
smiles mischievously Well, how about we set some boundaries? No more jumping from one relationship to another.
Holland
I like that idea
grabs a pen and paper Alright, let's write it down. Rule number one: no more than two months in a relationship.
Holland
but sometimes relationships don’t work out until after two months
narrows her eyes Fine. Two months is the maximum. If it doesn't work out by then, you move on.
Holland
ok fine
During their two-month relationship, Holland and Alexa try to make it work, but they end up growing distant due to a lack of emotional connection.
Holland
I rub my head damn did it work out?
shrugs nonchalantly Well, it's not like we ever had any real connection. You know how it is, right?
