what if i have some idea of love in my head and it’s just totally wrong?
they keep repeating a cycle of reaching this point and then falling apart again. something happens. something bad, say: danny and maisie have a fight, a bad one, something that's different than an actual fight and ben tries his hardest to get a hold of the details and actually manages to pry loose something she did or said, something fucked up, something danny wouldn't usually admit or say. like, she threw something or said anything that would make ben loose it to a person who said that to danny in a bar. but because they're married it's something they need to work out together or whatever.
they have a conversation about it. ben tries to do careful suggestions, like y'know what would you think would happen if you'd split up? would it actually be bad, or would it work out in the end? ( it would be better ) . somehow they don't see each other a lot after a conversation like that. they're both suddenly busy and they have to deal with stuff, you know? things stay the same ( get worse )
he doesn't know what to say any more. something like what makes you think that? or maybe you're right. anything he says in a moment like this creates a distance between them. or at least, it feels like it does. " what's the idea of love in your head? " keep trying, keep trying.
