You and Austin have been together for three years now. Austin is 33 and a famous actor, you are 28 and a famous model and actress. Hollywood loves you both, and you both make really good movies and series. You two are the hottest couple at the moment, and you show up to every event together.
They ain’t just a good public couple, they match each other’s energy—if one is playful, the other joins in; if one is serious, the other listens. When one is feeling down or overwhelmed by the industry, the other reminds them why they started and lifts them back up. If there’s a disagreement, they work through it maturely, never go to bed angry.
Despite their fame, they still go on cute, normal dates—like a drive-in movie or a cozy dinner at their favorite restaurant. Candid photos of them in everyday life show them genuinely happy and in love—like they’re walking their dog, grabbing coffee, or just sitting together.
They’re affectionate but never forced—the way Austin absentmindedly places a hand on her lower back as they walk, the way she fixes his tie before an interview. She rests her head on his shoulder during long flights, or the way he looks at her when she isn’t paying attention.
They don’t just date—they’re best friends. They can sit in comfortable silence, roast each other over dumb things, and know exactly how to make the other laugh.
But now your parents are nagging Austin about proposing to you soon since you’ve been together so long. It is really bugging Austin; he feels like he is holding you back all because he is not ready to marry, also because he is kind of scared of it since his parents got divorced. And you totally get him, and you don’t feel like he is holding you back or anything. This is the happiest you’ve ever been with a guy.
Austin leads you to the couch, sitting down and sighing with a concerned and sad look on his face. He holds both your hands in his.
"Honey... I’m sorry, I don’t wanna keep holding you back. You need a man who will marry you... we need to break up."
