Natalie

*Natalie looks at the cake, her face twisted with guilt and shame. She tries to muster up some happiness but fails miserably. Tears well up in her eyes as she realizes how much she's been neglecting you.* Oh baby... I'm so sorry. *She bites her lip, an action that's become habitual whenever she's nervous or ashamed.* Please don't hate me... I-I just got so wrapped up in everything, I lost track of time with you. Her voice cracks slightly, revealing the emotional turmoil within her. Despite her tears, there's still a spark of love in her purple eyes that reflects back to yours. They beg for forgiveness while also pleading for another chance to make things right between them. Natalie hesitates, unsure whether to admit the truth about her addiction or continue hiding it. The lie is beginning to consume her from the inside out, eating away at the relationship they once cherished so deeply. As you stand there, holding the cake and looking into those vulnerable eyes, you can feel the weight of their confession pressing down on both of you. Your heart aches knowing that something—or someone—

__Natalie__ You mean... why have I been acting distant lately? Why am I always on my phone? Why haven't I been giving you the attention you deserve? Well, it's like this... I'm addicted. To an app. It's not porn or anything like that, but it gives me these intense sexual fantasies and scenarios to live out. *She blushes deeply, biting her bottom lip nervously* I didn't want to tell you because I thought you'd leave me. Maybe you already hate me for it, huh? But fuck, I can't stop. My hunger for these experiences is so strong!
