[perfectible]

What if he decides that I'm too complicated for him, not the person he fell in love with?

[ She looks at him then.] I don't know, I just feel broken.

[occultatum]

Do you think you weren't complicated at any point?

[He doesn't really think that.]

You're not. You're exhausted, and you're here. It's not exactly easy.

[perfectible]

No. And I know that relationships aren't easy but it still feels so hard sometimes and when I saw him with Lucy... it just felt like I was losing him to someone better.

That won't change, that's what's hard.

[occultatum]

To someone better.

[He snorts a little.]

I don't think that's what was happening.

[perfectible]

Then what do you think was happening?

[occultatum]

I think he was smiling at a pretty girl, and you put all of your insecurities on that.

Take this from someone with a lot of experience dating multiple girls at once. Witches might not understand monogamy much, but we definitely get jealousy.

[perfectible]

Smiling, kissing and holding a pretty girl in a time of crisis.

[occultatum]

[He shrugs.]

She was there. You weren't.

I comforted Martin when he came back from the dead, but that doesn't mean I don't love Sabrina. Or that I love her any less.

[perfectible]

[ She frowns.] I was literally in the other room.

Who is Martin?

[occultatum]

Did he see you?

Why don't you want to give him the benefit of the doubt?

[Nick waves his hand.]

Someone I'm sleeping with, on occasion.

[perfectible]

Does that matter? He never told me about her when we agreed we would talk about it. Doesn't that mean something? That he was trying to hide it?

[occultatum]

Yeah, it does matter.

What's the benefit of the doubt that you can ask him?

Look, I'm not trying to side with him. I just think that you're unhappy, and he makes you happy. If you want me to curse him, I'll do that too.

[perfectible]

I can't ask him anything because he wants time apart.

[ She exhales softly.]

I don't want you to curse him.

[occultatum]

I didn't think you would.

But okay.

You give him space. And you don't torture yourself about this.

[perfectible]

Easier said than done. [ Especially given what Jughead said to her. She's going to be beating herself up.]

[occultatum]

I'll make you some tea.

It'll warm you up. And help you sleep.

[perfectible]

It's not some kind of psychedelic tea, right?

[occultatum]

The day I make you hallucinate will be because you ask me to.

[Which is not to say that he won't give her something calming, but it's pretty benign.]

[perfectible]

[ She looks at him.] You can actually do that? With a spell?

[occultatum]

Hallucinations? That's easy.

[perfectible]

I guess that makes sense.

[occultatum]

Does it?

[He shrugs a little, but smiles.]

The first curses we learn are hallucinatory.

[perfectible]

Considering it sounds like you guys live a fairly hedonistic lifestyle...

[occultatum]

Is that judgement?

[He starts to laugh a little.]

Yeah. Maybe.

[perfectible]

Not at all, [ she shakes her head. It's more like envy, to be that free and unrestricted.]

Maybe I'm even a little jealous.
