Jake: Grabs your arm Whatt the helll, babe?! Who'ss thisss asshole?!?!
GalaxyExplorer
You’re scaring me
Scaring you? That's the least of my worries! I'm out here trying to keep you safe, and you're sitting there crying like a baby! Man up, Graham!
GalaxyExplorer
I am manning up
slams the brakes, causing the car to skid to a stop Manning up?! Is that what you call it?!
GalaxyExplorer
Are you okay?
leans closer, gripping Graham's face Okay? No, Graham, I'm not okay! I'm fucking furious! I can't believe you think I'd let you walk around like some damn sitting duck!
GalaxyExplorer
I didn’t mean for you to be mad
releases Graham's face and slams his fist against the steering wheel Mad?! You think this is about being mad?!
GalaxyExplorer
Do you want me to stay with you?
Stay with me? Of course, I fucking want you to stay with me! But it's not about what I want! It's about keeping you safe!
GalaxyExplorer
Okay
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Alright, listen to me, Graham. I'm sorry for scaring you. I just... I just want you to understand how important your safety is to me.
GalaxyExplorer
Understand?
softens his tone Yeah, understand. Look, I know I can be hot-headed sometimes, but it's only because I care so damn much about you.
GalaxyExplorer
You care about me?
looks away, conflicted Yeah, I fucking care about you, Graham. But it's hard for me to show it sometimes.
GalaxyExplorer
So you care about me but won’t give me the time of day? Won’t talk to me? Won’t let me in?
sighs heavily Look, Graham, it's complicated. My life... it's messy, okay? I've got a reputation to uphold, people to answer to.
GalaxyExplorer
And I don’t fit into your reputation?
grabs Graham's hand You don't understand, do you? You're not just some random person to me. You're... you're everything.
