“I <span class="mu-i">do</span>, though…” She mutters, laughing as she dabs her face with her napkin, “I’m… I found everything I need now… but I can’t decide what the hell to <span class="mu-i">do</span> about it… do I keep chasing the truth, or… or do I cash out with a repaired family life? O-or…”
Well, you shrug with a reassuring smile, she doesn’t have to figure it out right now, right?
“No…” She mumbles with a shake of her head, “You’re right… shit, this is why I wanted to do the ‘<span class="mu-s">FIRST DATE RULE</span>’... and I <span class="mu-i">blew</span> it…”
Offering her one of your tissues, you give the girl’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze as she blows her nose and gives you a thankful smile. “A-anyways… terrible setup, I kn-know… but what um… what do <span class="mu-i">you</span> plan on doing now that… that it’s over…ish?”
The girl narrows her damp eyes at you.
“And be honest… don’t gotta lie to me to make me feel better.”
