Alex: Hey, how have you been?

Gracie: Alright, how did you match go yesterday?

Alex: It went great. I won.

Gracie: That's nice. 

Alex: So what was it that you wanted to talk?

Gracie: About that... you know I work as a consultant.

Alex: Right. 

Gracie: Well, there's this company in Italy that's given me an opportunity to work there.

Alex: That's amazing. How long will you stay there?

Gracie: Well, they want me there permanently. 

Alex: Oh... I see...

Gracie: Well, I want to see what you thought. 

Alex felt a sudden lump in his throat as he realized what she was leading. 

Alex: I mean... I wouldn't want to hold you back from an opportunity like this.

Gracie: I love you with all my heart and I'd do anything to stay with you. But... I might never get a chance like this again.

Alex: Do it!

Gracie: What!?

Alex: As much as it pains me to say but I think you should do it. This sounds like something that would benefit your career. 

Gracie: Are you sure?

Alex: Yes, as you are supportive of my career, it would only be fair for me to do the same. 

Gracie: Alex...

Alex: Go Gracie. I know how much it means to you and I don't want you to let it go because of me.
