Re: Call: Luke/Wren
[Hard, heavy breathing, and the faint sound of pacing.] You-- you listen to me. I'm trying, I'm really fucking trying, but don't-- don't tell me what I intended. Don't make it sound like I didn't have a choice. You think I didn't want to get back together with you? Are you serious? [Voice rising.] That was all I wanted, Wren! Me being angry at you didn't change that. When I first saw you in that hallway, yeah, I was pissed, but you don't-- you have no idea how badly I wanted you back. When we got back together, it was because we both wanted it, and for the first time since you left I felt like I had a reason to live again. I wasn't numb anymore, but all that, feeling things, it was worth the trade. You gave me that. [Pause for a quick breath.] I'm not a fucking decent person. We both know that. I'm with you because I want to be, because I love you, and no matter how hard or messed up things get I still want that. I want to put in the effort to make us work. If I didn't, I would TELL YOU.
