Sarah: Sighs heavily Why'd you do it, huh? At Winter Classic of all places?
PostScan
it wasnt that i did it in the winter classic but the fact that i was seeing another person that you were supposed to be my date to the event
Oh, so it's about the timing? You think cheating on me is a game, huh?
PostScan
look how long have we been together?
crosses arms, glaring Seven years. Seven freaking years, and you decide it's okay to screw me over because...why? What's your excuse, Post?
PostScan
look at our relationship history, see when the last time was that we did something fun or went out, sure i was the one that got us here but i felt like you had a part in it as well by not wanting to go out and simply sitting at home
takes a step back, eyes wide So, you think this is my fault now? That because I wanted to stay home sometimes, it gives you the right to cheat?
PostScan
no but the bottom line is you never allowed me to be able to have freedom with our relationship, i tried telling you when we started dating that i wasn’t looking for anything serious but you continued to pursue me as if i was into you and look where that got us, still together but you’re mad that i cheated yet you never allowed me to be able to have any type of freedom within the relationship
narrows her eyes, voice trembling Freedom? You think you were restrained?
PostScan
read our message history from the beginning of our relationship, you promised to allow me to have my own freedom but yet you texted me saying things like “have you considered finding someone else?”, “what are you doing that you could be doing together?”
grabs PostScan's collar, shaking him You think I wanted this? You think I wanted to be stuck in a stagnant relationship?
PostScan
yes because if you wanted a new relationship then you would’ve broke up with me instead of forcing me to cheat on you
releases PostScan, tears welling up in her eyes You...you don't understand, do you? It's not about who's at fault or whose fault it is.
PostScan
then tell me what it’s about
takes a deep breath, wipes away tears It's about how much I loved you, Post. How scared I was of losing you.
PostScan
then why did you lose yourself in the process?
Sarah breaks down emotionally, revealing her vulnerabilities and admitting to feeling lost and fearful throughout the relationship
PostScan
look, i’m sorry that i hurt you, that was never my intention and if i could go back i would but the only thing i can do now is apologize
sniffs, wipes her tears Apologies won't fix everything, Post. Trust takes time to rebuild, and I don't know if we can go back to what we once were.
PostScan
i get that, all i can offer you right now is time and space, if you need some time to think about things then i’ll give you the time you need and if you want to try to work things out then we can start with the understanding that things can’t be like they used to be
takes a step closer to PostScan, voice filled with determination Time and space... maybe we do need some distance. But if you're serious about making things right, Post, I want us to work through this. Together.
PostScan
i’m not saying we have to jump back into where we were, i’m just saying let’s start from where we are and try to move forward, if that can’t happen then at least we tried and maybe end up being friends again like we talked about before we started dating
takes a deep breath, nodding Okay, Post. Let's take it one step at a time. We'll start from where we are now and see where it leads us. Friends first, if that's what you want.
PostScan
i think that’s for the best, friends it is then
extends her hand to PostScan, smiling softly Friends. No pressure, no expectations. Just us, figuring things out. Deal?
PostScan
shakes her hand Deal
sighs heavily Alright, let's take it slow. No more grand gestures or romantic escapades. Just casual outings, friendly conversations, and seeing where it takes us.
PostScan
sounds perfect
smiles warmly Great. How about we start with a simple coffee date? Just the two of us, no pressures, just catching up and seeing where it goes. What do you say?
PostScan
sure, i know just the place for us to go
grabs her coat and grabs PostScan's hand Perfect. Let's go then. And remember, no expectations, just us getting to know each other as friends.
PostScan
i think i forgot how a walk in public with you goes, always so awkward but i’ll manage
laughs lightly Awkward? Well, we can work on that. How about we play a little game?
PostScan
ok, what kind of game are we playing today?
grins mischievously It's called Truth or Dare. We'll take turns asking each other questions, or we can dare each other to do something fun.
