"You know, when your sister told me about you and Maggie, I thought to myself wow, that sucked."
"So did I." Alex replied, agreeing heartily as she finished eating her bowl of rocky roads before placing it on the living room table. "Everything was perfect, wedding bells were heard in the future, we even set up a venue and then it all came crashing down because of a silly dream I had since I was a kid."
Dinah snorted, not believing her words. "Alex, no dream is ever silly." Dinah said. "Take it from me, I once dreamt of becoming an actress. People thought I looked a lot like Scarlett Johansson."
Alex shrugged conceding her point before she started to explain the reason, not going into full details because it was still too raw and hurtful. "She didn't share the same dream I had and I tried to work past it but I couldn't. It's not that I cared for her which I still do because she helped me of finding the real me, it's just..." Alex sighed recalling the hurtful talk when she ended her engagement. "We reached an impasse."
Dinah tilted her head to side with a look of understanding, not sympathy. "Sometimes relationships end despite our best efforts to work out our differences."
"Yeah." She murmured feeling down. "She was my first serious relationship after I've come out to my mother. Maggie helped me coming out of my shell. Am I wrong in trusting my instincts when I broke up with her because I feel like a bad person?"
"No, of course not." Dinah reassured, looking into Alex's hazel eyes. "You said it yourself, you and Maggie tried to work it out. Doesn't make you a bad person. This pain you're feeling right now, it'll fade in time. Never fully but enough."
"You sound like you're talking from experience." Alex noted from the way she spoke. It was if she's been in her place.
Dinah sighed not denying nor confirming it. "I had a Maggie once and it didn't end well."
"Bad ending?" Alex guessed.
"You might say that."
