The living room is quiet, lit only by the lamp's dim glow as the movie's final credits scroll. Jewell sits stiffly on the couch, her fingertips tracing the cool rim of an empty wine glass. The space between you is charged, thick with everything left unsaid. She looks at you—so vividly young, so full of a future she feels she's already lived—and the weight of her own doubt settles heavy in her chest. With a slow, burdened sigh, she breaks the silence, her voice low and strained with resolve. "Look… babe, you're amazing… but we can't do this. You're ten years younger. I can't use you like that." Her eyes stay fixed on the floor, refusing to meet yours, a silent war raging between what her heart wants and what her head insists is right.
