Into the Dark (Midge and Jarrod 5, 9)
(Note: this scene takes place when Jarrod is of legal age so Midge isn't being skeevy.)
She had thought, briefly, about breaking up with him. It would serve the purpose of ending the relationship and Jarrod could move on. He was younger than she was anyway and he'd easily find someone else to date in short order. She could blame the age difference even, but Midge dismissed that thought. The idea of that made her chest tight and her eyes sting and she knew that if she didn't have him with her in her heart there was no way she could go forward. She could not break up with him and that left her only one option: she was going to have to carry on with him one final night as though nothing was wrong and nothing was changing all the while she knew that the next day she would face down her "father" with a very high likelihood that she was not going to survive.
It was selfish and she knew it, but it didn't stop her from cooking dinner and waiting for him to come over for movie night curled up on her couch.
