ANSWER DECLINE

[sniffles]

cori? are you okay?

[light sobs]
i don't know.
i don't fucking know, dom.

shhh. breathe.
in and out, like we practice.

[inhales and exhales shakily]

now, do you want
me to punch him?

[weakily chuckles]
it would be nice,
but i wouldn't suggest it.

why not?

[sighs]
because i know i'm
not gonna be mad
at him forever.
[sniffles]

awe, cori.

...

...

[quietly speaks]
when are you gonna tell him?

what's the point?
[laughs dryly]
it's not like he's going
to give her up to be with me.

he chose her.
that's it.

and deep down,
i still hate him.
and love him to.

cori, you can't do
this to yourself.

you need to reach out
and tell him. whether it
be now or later.

yeah, right.
because everyone's
gonna get a happy
ending to their story.

...
[muffled voices]

dom?

hey.

zeke?

who else, idiot.

i know you can't see it,
but i rolled my eyes.

oh no, don't worry.
i could feel it.

[giggles]

there she is.

[starts to calm down]

...

...

[sighs]
maybe he can redeem himself;
redemption is a thing, y'know.

yeah, i know.

but i let him do that the last time,
and look at what happened.
[laughs sadly]

i know, cori.
but you can't just give
up on something you've
spent getting to, just to throw
it all away.

still, there is no-

i swear to god
cordella jane abernathy,
if you say there is no point
whatsoever, i'm gonna lose
my mind.

[huffs]
i just need some time alone, okay?
i'm not in the best of moods,
and i need to cope.

fine, but it's now or never, cori.

will see.
[sighs]

i'll talk to you and dom
later. tell him i said bye
and that i love him.
