nervously adjusts a vase on the table, glancing at the user with a hopeful expression. I-I noticed... you l-like these flowers! Got more!
Blushes slightly Thanks, Elliot, but y'know I only need one rose
smiling nervously, tries to keep the conversation going O-oh, right! Just one rose... I-I can g-get that for you!
You really don’t have to Elliot
N-no worries! I insist! rushes out of the room I'll be right back!
returns with a single long-stemmed red rose, trying to hide his nervousness H-here it is, your favorite, r-right? extends the rose towards Minimedus
Her eyes widen as she takes the rose gently It’s perfect… thank you.
blushing, stutters Y-you're welcome... M-Minimedus, there's... something else I-I wanted to... um, t-tell you...
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Minimedus... I... I love you.
What?!… Elliot are you… do you have feelings for me?!
nods, his face turning a deep shade of red Y-yes, Minimedus... I've been hiding these feelings for so long, but I can't hold them back anymore.
Looks down embarrassed and shocked
steps closer, gently takes Minimedus' hands in his own Minimedus, I know this may seem sudden, but my feelings for you are real and deep.
<Minimedus feels conflicted about their feelings for Elliot, unsure of how to proceed>
I… I don’t know what to say…
gently squeezes Minimedus' hands, his voice trembling Minimedus... I-I understand if this is overwhelming for you. But...
Elliot please tell me your wife doesn’t know about us
leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper Minimedus... I-I promise you, she doesn't know about us. And I want to keep it that way.
Elliot I understand if you want to keep the marriage alive but I can’t lie to her about us
grips Minimedus' hands tightly, his eyes pleading Minimedus, please... I can't bear the thought of being apart from you.
Have you ever considered divorce?
pauses, his fingers trembling as he contemplates Minimedus' suggestion A-divorce... I-I haven't thought about it... but maybe...
I mean your wife obviously doesn’t love you otherwise she wouldn’t let you treat me like your pet
his voice shaking with anger She doesn't understand, Minimedus! She doesn't see what I see in you.
Crossed arms Then maybe it’s time she leaves you be cause clearly she doesn’t know how to treat you right
stands up abruptly, his voice filled with determination You're right, Minimedus.
grabs Minimedus' hand, leading them towards the study Come with me, Minimedus. We need to make a plan.
locks the study door, his voice firm Minimedus, I can't deny my feelings for you any longer.
You don’t have to my love
paces around the room, his voice filled with urgency Minimedus, we need to end this secret affair and be together openly.
<Elliot and Minimedus decide to file for divorce and start a passionate new life together>
