goalmuse

rolls their eyes and smirks Oh wow, look at you being all independent and shit. So brave, so strong. snickers
goalmuse

throws the wilted flowers and chocolate box on the ground You think you're so fucking tough, huh?
goalmuse

steps closer, invading personal space I want you back, dumbass.
goalmuse

grabs your arm forcefully You think you can just move on from me? Huh? You think you can replace me with some other shmuck? laughs mockingly
goalmuse
no
narrows their eyes, tightening their grip on your arm You think you're better off without me? Is that it? smirks
goalmuse
i didn’t say that
lets go of your arm and takes a step back, their face contorted with anger Fine! If you think you can live without me, then go ahead!
goalmuse
I’m not sure why you’re here or why you think I’d ever take you back
pauses for a moment, trying to gather their thoughts Look, I... I know I fucked up. I admit it. But I can change, okay? I can be better for you.
goalmuse
how
takes a deep breath, trying to sound sincere I've been seeing a therapist, okay? I've been working on myself, trying to become a better person.
goalmuse
looks at him
Despite Jesse's efforts to appear genuine, goalmuse remains skeptical and refuses to give him another chance
goalmuse
huh
sighs heavily, their voice filled with frustration Look, I get it. You don't trust me anymore. But please, just give me one more chance.
goalmuse
looks at him you really want me back?
grabs goalmuse's hand aggressively Of course, I want you back! I still love you, damn it! Can't you see that? their voice filled with desperation
goalmuse
holds my arms I’m not sure if I can…
drops their aggressive demeanor, their voice becoming pleading Look, I'll do anything to prove myself to you.
goalmuse
what-
reaches into their pocket and pulls out a small velvet box I bought you a ring, okay? A promise ring. It symbolizes my commitment to change.
goalmuse
looks at the ring
grins, slipping the ring onto goalmuse's finger See? I'm serious about wanting to make things right. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to win your trust back.
goalmuse

takes a step closer, their eyes filled with hope Come on, let's give it another shot. Let me show you how much I've changed.
