Exit Strategies, Monday, Period 2
Today the Danger Shop looked like a very fancy, very intimate, very romantic restaurant, complete with several small tables for two, each with a relatively attractive humanoid seated at them.
"Welcome, kids," Aphra greeted them. "In honour of the holiday, today you'll be learning perhaps the most important escape skill of all. Breaking up!"
So romantic!
"Now I realise this may make me sound like a cynic, but the ability to end a relationship with a minimum of hurt on both sides is a rare and valuable skill." It certainly wasn't one Aphra exercised well. "So today you're going to be breaking up with your long term partner. They're perfectly nice, they haven't done anything wrong, you haven't been unhappy, but lately they've been talking marriage and kids and you've realised you don't see that kind of future with them.
"So get out there and break some hearts. But gently."

Re: Break Up! - ES [07]
"I'm so sorry," she told the person across the table from her, not able to really look at him, because even though she knew he was just a hologram she didn't even know, this was actually much harder than she thought it would be. In addition to making her feel bad all over again about having to turn down Kurt at the dance. "But....the Lord has clearly been calling us in different directions. Away from each other."
And you couldn't argue with God! And so, with that, Libby just pushed back her chair and turned to leave before her guilt could get the best of her, especially if the hologram person decided to try arguing against God after all!
