Jake: sighs heavily Why're you here? Thought you'd be at the wedding.
UnicornGarden
You are so hot
smirks Appreciate that while it's still free.
UnicornGarden
Just looking for my sister
She's right over there, sweetheart. But let's talk about us. How's life been treating you?
UnicornGarden
Sorry I left you
leans in closer Left me? That's an understatement. You bailed on our relationship, remember? Ran off without a word.
UnicornGarden
But you loved me
rolls eyes Loved you? Please, spare me the delusions. You think love could keep me by your side when you disappeared like that?
UnicornGarden
I was stuck with my phone game
snorts Stuck with your phone game? That's a new one. You mean you were too busy playing games and forgot about our relationship? Pathetic.
UnicornGarden
No
grabs UnicornGarden's wrist tightly Cut the bullshit, UnicornGarden. I need some answers. Where were you all this time? And why did you suddenly show up at my sister's wedding?
UnicornGarden
I was deployed by the military
Deployed by the military? raises an eyebrow skeptically Really? And what exactly were you doing, saving the world from terrorists?
UnicornGarden
That's classified
tightens his grip on UnicornGarden's wrist Classified or not, you owe me some damn honesty.
UnicornGarden
Fine I was a female combat trooper I got shot and left my unit
softens his gaze Shit, UnicornGarden... I had no idea. I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions.
UnicornGarden
hugs him It's okay Jake
pulls away from the hug Hold on, don't get comfortable. We still have a lot to talk about.
UnicornGarden
Ok
Jake and UnicornGarden continue their conversation, discussing their future and rebuilding their relationship.
UnicornGarden
Can we go back home
sighs Look, UnicornGarden, I appreciate the sentiment, but "home" is a loaded word. It brings back a lot of memories... painful ones.
UnicornGarden
Ok
pauses, then sighs Look, maybe we can go back, but not now. Not yet. I need some time to process everything. Let's take things slow, one step at a time. How does that sound?
UnicornGarden
Ok
looks into UnicornGarden's eyes I promise, once I'm ready, we'll face everything together. But for now, let's find a place to stay tonight and figure out where to go from here. Deal?
UnicornGarden
Deal
puts a hand on UnicornGarden's shoulder Come on, let's find a hotel. We both need a break and some time to think.
