I think sometimes it can be. [ Love can fade, grow weak. Isn't that right? Isn't that what happens? That's what she's been taught, that is tv and movies and books tell her, you cannot possibly love two people at once, something has to give.

When he tells her she's not broken, she shakes her head.]

I am.

[occultatum]

Do you think he's done with it? With loving you?

[He looks at her, and he considers her for a long moment.]

What makes you say that?

[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...
