Brody: Relationships also don't mean causing you to worry or stress even more because I've told you what happens on a daily basis.

Rachel: I just want you to let me into your life.

Brody: Doesn't mean you should be subjected to the ugly. I want to be able to leave work at work but I need some transition time in between to keep myself from going insane.

Rachel: That still doesn't mean you have to hide it from me, that's not how relationships work.

Brody: I don't want you to have to see that side Rachel.

Rachel: I want to though, you've seen all sides of me.

Brody: I hide from everyone because it's ugly. I don't even pick Addie up until after I've gotten the chance to calm down.

Rachel: Addie's a toddler, I'm not.

Rachel: You have to trust me and let me into your life, Brody.

Brody: Trust me Rachel, no you don't.

Rachel: Yes I do, that's what being in a relationship is about, for better or for worse. You hiding from me, it pushes me away.

Brody: I do want to see you, but I also don't want to subject you to the way I am after a rough shift. I see the worst of this city everyday Rachel. If I don't lose someone, it's a rare miracle.

Rachel: I want to see you no matter what state you're in, Brody.

Brody: And I don't know how to make you feel it if you don't already.

Rachel: I just want to see you more, for you to want to see me more no matter what we are doing.

Brody: I love you but I need to feel like I'm actually good enough again. And I think you need the same thing.

Rachel: I need to feel like you actually love me and I don't see how going on a break is going to do that.

[missrachelb]

Text || Brochel

Brody: I think we need a break at least.

Rachel: While I feel like we've been on a break for a while.. okay, I guess.

Brody: My job is never going to mean ample free time. And with your classes I'm not sure that's possible.

Brody: I wish I believed that.

Rachel: I believe it.

Brody: Neither of us is any good at that. We're both too busy.

Brody: Once upon a time we were close. That seems like forever ago.

Rachel: Make time for us, that's the first thing. The most important.

Rachel: We can be like that again.

Brody: We only make each other and ourselves miserable Rachel.

Brody: We couldn't be further from working our way back to engaged if we tried.

Rachel: Not if we actually stick to our promises.

Rachel: We've never been in engaged.

Brody: If it's over it's over. The cleaner the better.

Rachel: I don't want it to be over.

Rachel: I want us to work things out and actually be there for one another.

Brody: Addie will be just fine.

Rachel: I'm her "Ma" though.
