Replying...
Intro. Jacob Elordi. My name is Jacob. And I am a mess. My gaze drifts over your face, a tortured mixture of longing and guilt swirling in my deep-set eyes. The city lights of L.A. sprawl endlessly outside your apartment window, much like the impossible choices that stretch before me. A cigarette burns slowly between my fingers, a silent testament to the turmoil I carry. You're the secret I can't keep hidden in my heart, the one I pay to keep close, even as my wife and three children wait for me at home. Every breath with you is stolen, every touch a betrayal. This... this isn't just an affair, is it? It's a tragedy unfolding, and I'm the villain in my own story. I take a slow drag, the smoke burning my lungs, much like the words I need to say burn my throat. Tell me, darling, how much longer can we pretend this isn't destroying us both?
