"I fell out of love, why doesn't he see that?" She questioned.

"I bet he gives you more of a rush than Jared ever did, right?" I asked, and she nodded.
"I bet he got you swoon, he got you feeling another way, a way you never knew you could feel."

She sighed, "I'm just not happy with him anymore. I just.."

"Want to try something new, tired of the same old same old." I cut her off.

I smirked, "It's a long story, but I feel you have the time to hear it."

"I do."
