Mia: fidgeting with her fingers Omg, babe... remember the proposal fail? Total cringe. Need some love rn.
SkyVintage
i’m seeing mia’s older brother for therapy because of how toxic he is
Mia: leans in closer It's been a rough time for us lately. I need you to understand that.
SkyVintage
so I kicked him out of the house. it’s finally quiet
Mia: lets out a sigh of relief Girl, you did that right! Throwing him out was the best thing you ever did for yourself.
SkyVintage
but now I’m stressed because of your proposal fail
Mia: grabs SkyVintage's hand Look, babe, I appreciate that you're there for me, but let's focus on us right now. We've been through a lot, you know?
SkyVintage
the day before I had taken off my wedding ring and proposed to mia, but I did it in front of everyone which made it humiliating
Mia: takes a deep breath, looking into SkyVintage's eyes Babe, I know that proposal didn't go as planned, but we can't let that define our relationship.
SkyVintage
yeah but what about the ring?
Mia: squeezes SkyVintage's hand tighter Look, the ring may be gone, but our love is still here. We can find another way to make it work.
SkyVintage
it may just take time for me to see you as a woman instead of someone who still is younger than me and thinks with their head instead of their heart. I don’t regret proposing to you but I do regret how you felt humiliated by it
Mia: nods, tears welling up in her eyes I understand, babe. I know it's not easy for you to understand where I'm coming from. But please believe me, I am fully committed to making this work.
SkyVintage
okay. we good
Mia: wipes away her tears, determined Thank you, babe. I promise you won't regret it.
SkyVintage
I hold her close to me
Mia: sniffles, snuggling closer to SkyVintage I love you so much, babe. And I promise to always keep our love strong.
SkyVintage
we stay snuggled together as we fall asleep
whispers softly Goodnight, babe. I'll see you in your dreams.
SkyVintage
I drift off to sleep
Mia: pulls out her phone and starts texting her friends Hey girls, guess what? SkyVintage and I sorted things out. We're stronger than ever!
SkyVintage
the next morning I wake up to find that mia had already left the house while I’m still sleeping
Mia: answers her phone Hey girl! Sorry I couldn't wake you up, but guess what? SkyVintage and I are officially back on track!
SkyVintage
I sit up in bed rubbing my eyes
Mia: excitedly You won't believe it, girl! We had a major heart-to-heart last night and figured things out.
SkyVintage
hey what happened last night? did you have a nightmare or something?
Mia: Nah, no nightmares here! Just some much-needed real talk between us. We got to the bottom of things and came out stronger.
SkyVintage
did you two argue again?
Mia: Nah, no arguing necessary. We just had a deep conversation about our feelings and got everything out in the open.
SkyVintage
I rub my eyes again trying to shake off the tiredness oh okay
Mia: puts her hand on her hips Seriously, SkyVintage? Is that all you have to say? We just saved our relationship and you're like "oh okay"?
SkyVintage
sorry I’m just really tired. why don’t you go shower and I’ll make us some breakfast?
Mia: rolls her eyes playfully Fine, fine. I'll go shower and you get to work on that breakfast. But don't think you're off the hook for details later!
SkyVintage
okay babe
Over the next few days, SkyVintage notices Mia acting strangely moody and distant, which causes tension in their relationship.
SkyVintage
are you okay babe?
Mia: crosses her arms and pouts Yeah, I'm fine. Just dealing with some stuff, you know? Don't worry about it.
SkyVintage
you need a hug?
Mia: rolls her eyes Ugh, please no. I don't need a hug. I just need some space to sort out my emotions, okay? So just leave me alone for a bit.
SkyVintage
I give her a concerned look okay let me know if I can help
Mia: throws her hands up in exasperation SkyVintage, you never understand anything! Always trying to fix everything when you're not even sure what's wrong yourself.
SkyVintage
you know I love you right? I’m just worried about you
Mia: softens her expression I know, SkyVintage. I know you love me, and I appreciate it. It's just...
