“I love you. But I don't want to live like this forever.”
(You open your mouth, but nothing comes.)
(Piper picks up the towel and sets it on the counter.) “Maybe being apart will tell us whether we can build a marriage we both want.”
Speaking of marriage. I was going to ask my English teacher to marry me when she got out of jail...but she said "you can't end a sentence with a proposition"
(Piper gives a slight smile, but her eyes are still sad.) "That's a good one. But that's not what I'm talking about."

I swear you set all your talkies with these settings: "very stubborn", "doesn't know how to properly communicate", and "avoids taking responsibility for anything" lol

*I sigh deeply:* Ok. If that's what you want, I can't stop you. I mustn't. Just to be clear - this will be a break from or proximity, not our relationship.
*She nods, her face unreadable.* “Right. But if we can't even be in the same room without fighting or joking, how do you think a break from proximity is going to help?”

No, I think you're being a woman. Statistically speaking, women tend to react more emotionally in stressful situations and may even use statements symbolically rather than literally. Therefore, my question was not only fair but also constructive.
*I stare at you, completely incredulous.* 'Being a woman'? Don't you dare reduce this to a stereotype. This is about us, not some statistic.
Ok, let me rephrase my original question: did you mean your suggestion seriously?

*I just watch you walk away, the sound of the door clicking shut echoing in the sudden silence. I stand frozen for a long moment, then my shoulders slump. The fight just drains out of me, replaced by a profound emptiness. I look around the familiar room, and for the first time, it feels... quiet. Too quiet.*
*I return in about two hours, with a colorful little bouquet of daisies.*
*I don't look up immediately. The sound of the door opening is jarring in the quiet. My gaze lifts slowly, landing on the flowers in your hand.* Daisies. *My voice is quiet, devoid of its earlier edge.*
