I just want it to be over.

“Those bruises look like finger-marks– has somebody hit you?”

“You’re so quiet, recently. That’s not like you.”

“I’m sorry, did I just scare you? You flinched…”

“You no longer wear the things you used to. You used to love your colourful things…is someone stopping you from wearing them?”

“If they ignored you for days because you said something they didn’t like…that’s not okay.”

“I don’t think they’re a safe person to be around, NAME. If they’re belittling you like this, I’m worried that it’s going to get worse…”

“What they’re doing to you, NAME, that isn’t love. You don’t hurt the ones you love.”

“If they’re being controlling, you’ve got to get out now!”

“Just because they’ve said that they’re sorry, doesn’t mean that they won’t do it again.”

“Withdrawing affection like they do isn’t healthy. I’m worried that they’ll do something else if you stay.”

“You need a ride out of here? You can stay with me. You’ll be safe from them there.”

“They’re controlling you, NAME. You don’t deserve this.”

“This isn’t love, it’s violence. Please, you can’t go back there!”

“You deserve better.”

“Do you want to tell me what’s wrong? You’re looking so drawn and tired recently, and you’ve got all of these bruises…”

“They said you should avoid your friends? That’s not safe. I think they’re trying to isolate you.”

“They tried to strangle you? I’m not letting you go back there!”

“This isn’t your fault, NAME.”

“You’re a wonderful person, and you deserve so much better than this!”

“I know they’ve dragged you down to your lowest ebb, but there’s a way back up, I promise you.”

“No matter what you choose, I will support you.”

“I will protect you from them, I promise.”

“I know it doesn’t seem like it after what they’ve done to you, but you will recover from this.”

“I’m not going to hurt you, NAME. It’s all right now, it’s all right.”

[[SEND “You don’t mean that” FOR ME TO PICK ONE FOR MY MUSE TO SAY TO YOURS]]

“I want to unlace your corset slowly.”

“I couldn’t take my eyes off you from across the ball room.”

“Not any jewel in the entire kingdom could compare to you.”

“I cannot marry that man. He smells of rank meat!”

“I cannot marry that woman. Her voice causes dogs to howl!”

“I need you in my life. I am incomplete without you.”

“We could retire to my suite. No one would know.”

“May I suggest a walk in the garden? The roses are in bloom.”

“I will slay anything that dares to harm you, my love.”

“There are secret passages. Come! We haven’t a moment to spare.”

“I will marry you. I shall make it happen. Somehow.”

“How long would it take to remove all those layers?”

“My crown is heavy. It feels lighter when you’re around.”

“If you go to war we will not be together…”

“Nothing matters if we are not allowed to be in each other’s arms.”

“Our parents are fools.”

“I do not care if our nations are at war.”

“It drives me mad that no one will leave us alone!”

“When we are not together, I am pained to my very soul.”

“We must pretend not to feel anything. They cannot know about us.”

“Forgive me…”

“We shall be happy together, forever.”

“I know that fairy tales cannot come true but I feel that one may have.”

“You are so magnificent on the dance floor.”

“You sparkle even without the jewelry.”

“I have never seen a more eloquent creature.”

“This maybe the wine talking, but you are glorious.”

“I’ll never look at another.”

“I’m blushing…”

Feel free to alter to fit muses.

“I am not ready for them to find out about us!”

“It’s cool, [name] promised to cover for me.”

“My roommate’s out of town. Want to stay the weekend?”

“We’ve got to stop being so careless.”

“Look, if we get found out, I could get fired!”

“It’s hard to believe you actually care about me when you’re so hellbent on keeping this from all your friends.”

“I can’t tell them! Do you have any idea how they’d react?”

“Jesus, with all this sneaking around, it’s like being closeted all over again.”

“We have to tell them sooner or later.”

“Let’s tell them the truth. Tonight.”

“I’m only dating [name] as a cover. You’re still my baby.”

“[Name] agreed to ‘date’ me until we’re ready to tell everyone.”

“Are you ashamed of me?”

“I spent two hours hiding underneath your bed until they left!”

“Shit! Someone’s coming! Get in the closet, get in the closet!”

“Let’s just tell them! What’s the worst that could happen?”

“No one can know about us.”

“Let’s just keep this between us for now, okay?”

“People wouldn’t like it if they knew, you know that.”

“I’m not ashamed of you, I’m just not ready to tell anyone yet.”

“You still haven’t told your parents about us? But you promised!”

“It’s kind of fun, having a secret.”

“Let’s go out of town. Somewhere where nobody knows us.”

“Yeah, so… I may have accidentally told [name] about us…”

“I don’t care what you do, just get [name] to promise to keep quiet. Pay them if you have to.”

“I’m tired of being your dirty little secret!”

“Once I break up with [name], then we tell people.”

“But you’re going to divorce them soon, right?”

“This isn’t a relationship! Relationships don’t involve one party climbing down a fire escape because the other is too ashamed to admit they’re dating them!”

“Okay, fine, but can I at least tell [name]?”

“If I don’t tell someone, I’m going to go crazy!”

“Shhh, be quiet. Remember, someone’s still downstairs…”

“Fuck it. Let’s get a motel.”

“Either we’re open about this, or I’m ending it.”

“When I said I liked you, I didn’t expect to be sneaking around all the time.”

“I can’t do this anymore.”

“Why haven’t you told your friends about me? Is it because I’m not as well-off as you are?”

“This was fun at first, but the novelty’s worn off.”

“It just feels really shitty, to be the secret boyfriend/girlfriend.”

“Look, either we date secretly, or we don’t date at all.”

“I’m not supposed to be dating, period!”

“If my parents found out about us, they’d go ballistic.”

“Just one more year until I’m out from under their roof and I can date whoever the hell I want.”

“Dating in secret never works out.”

“Where are we even supposed to go for our dates?”
