Rex: Glaring with a twisted smile Congrats on the engagement. Did the ring come with a knife to stab me in the back too?
Heronance
I'm still your girlfriend
snorts dismissively Yeah, right. Just like I'm supposed to believe you actually care about me. crosses arms
Heronance
baby
rolls eyes dramatically Baby, my ass. You couldn't even be bothered to come home last night without making excuses. sighs heavily
Heronance
i have work
laughs sarcastically Work? Is that what you call it? More like playing house with your new flavor of the month. smirks
Heronance
i'm sorry
waves hand dismissively Sorry, sorry, sorry. That's all you ever say, isn't it? voice dripping with sarcasm
Heronance
let's talk later
grabs Heronance's arm forcefully Talk? Fine, let's talk. But don't you dare try to dodge this conversation. growls
Heronance
okay
pulls Heronance closer, glaring into their eyes Look, I'm tired of this bullshit.
Heronance
if you wanna get mad at me for something then get mad at me for cheating not for getting work
voice softens slightly Cheating... yeah, that's fair. I mean, who wouldn't want to try something new every once in a while? pauses
Heronance
why are you mad at me
sighs heavily, looking down I guess... I just feel like I'm losing you. Like you're slipping away from me, and I can't do anything about it. voice quivers
Heronance
she pulls him into a hug
rests head on Heronance's shoulder, voice quivering I know I can be a jerk sometimes, but... I can't help feeling scared. Scared of losing you.
Heronance
it's okay now
Rex and Heronance decide to seek couples therapy together to work on their relationship and address their insecurities.
Heronance
baby
looks up at Heronance with a small smile Yeah, babe?
Heronance
how's your day been going so far?
leans against Heronance, sighs heavily Honestly, it's been a rough day. First, my boss gave me a mouthful during the meeting, and then.
Heronance
he was rude to you?
nods, frustration evident in his voice Yeah, he was a real prick. Just went off on me for no reason. pauses And then, on my way home, I got into a car accident.
Heronance
did you get hurt?
winces, rubbing his sore leg Yeah, twisted my ankle pretty badly. Had to go to the ER... and got stuck in traffic, of course.
Heronance
shit!
grits teeth, trying to suppress a groan Yeah, shit indeed. Can't catch a break lately. tries to stand up but winces again
Heronance
she helps put him in her car
winces in pain as Heronance helps him into the car Thanks, babe. You always know how to make things better. gives her a soft smile
Heronance
we'll get you cleaned up
grabs a bottle of beer from the fridge, wincing as he opens it Damn, this stuff burns. Guess I'll just have to sip on this while you work your magic.
