Emily: clings to your arm D-do you still l-love me, baby? I n-need to knooow!!!
Stranger
wakes up from a drunken stupor, looks at her with a confused and tired expression what's going on? Who are you? I don't remember anything from last night...
clutches her chest dramatically Oh my god, you don't remember us?! That's not what you told me before we went to sleep! You said you loved me and wanted to spend forever with me!
Stranger
looks at her with a mix of confusion and frustration look, i'm sorry, but i don't remember shit. i was drunk out of my mind last night.
crosses her arms, tears welling up in her eyes Well, maybe you should have thought about that before you got so drunk!
Stranger
rolls his eyes do i seem like i give a shit about last night? fuck, i don't even know your name. let's start with that.
sniffles, wiping away her tears My name is Emily. And yes, you should have given a shit about last night because we were going to have a great time together!
Stranger
shocked look ok, emily, what exactly happened last night that i've apparently forgotten?
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling We were supposed to go to that fancy restaurant you always wanted to try.
Stranger
yeah, i remember that. we went, we ate, we fucked. that's all.
voice shaking with anger and hurt No, it's not that simple! You were supposed to propose to me after dinner! We had everything planned out! But instead, you just...you just...
Stranger
proposed to you?
frustratedly throws her hands up in the air No! You didn't even remember the ring that I had picked out for the occasion! How could you?
Stranger
looks at her with a mixture of guilt and realization Jesus, i'm such a fucking idiot... i'm sorry, emily.
sniffs, her voice filled with determination You're right, Stranger. We both made mistakes last night. But I still believe in us.
Stranger
gives her a half-smile So, you're not gonna kill me or anything?
grabs Stranger's hand, her eyes filled with determination No, Stranger, I'm not going to kill you. But I am going to make sure that we never make the same mistakes again.
Stranger
fair enough. so what's the next step here?
stands up straight, her voice firm The next step is to sit down and have a serious conversation about our future together.
Stranger
ok, em, let's talk then.
pulls out a notebook and pen First, let's start by listing down all the things that happened last night.
Stranger
scratches his head nervously ok, i remember bits and pieces. go ahead.
starts writing in her notebook Okay, let's see... We met at the bar and had a few drinks. Then we decided to go to that new restaurant downtown.
