Witch 🔮:
Hi, Fabian. I know it's been a while but I thought we could catch up. I'm in New York for an event next week and I was wondering if you'd like to go to dinner after

Fabes 😉:
Hey, it's good to hear from you
Catching up sounds nice but I just want to clarify, are you on about just us or are you including Sebastian in this but texting me so I can pass on the message?

Witch 🔮:
Well, I was thinking along the lines of just us
You know, kind of like a continuation of that lunch date we had 😉

Fabes 😉:
Date? We've never been on any 'dates' together
That was just lunch.

Witch 🔮:
You're funny
No, I was asking you out
You have to know I'm more than interested in you by now

Fabes 😉:
I thought you were just joking around in those Instagram comments
If I'd known you were serious, I'd have told you a while ago that there is no 'us'
It was just lunch to me. No dates. No feelings. No us.

Witch 🔮:
What? Why not?
You seemed interested during lunch
Why lead me on?

Fabes 😉:
Lead you on? If you think someone being genuinely nice to you equals feelings then I am so sorry that you were taught that
I'm not interested in dating anyone, that's why we're never going to happen

Witch 🔮:
Give me a chance at least
A proper date.
Now that we're both aware that it's a date

Fabes 😉:
No, Elizabeth.
No date. No nothing
Whatever you think was going on between us never happened

Witch 🔮:
Why? Even fans think we'd be cute together.
Give me a genuine reason and I'll back off
Don't just turn me down for no reason

Fabes 😉:
You want a genuine reason?
Okay, here's one.
I'm married.

Witch 🔮:
What?

Fabes 😉:
There, I said it. Now, do you see why I was trying to spare your feelings and turn you down nicely?
I'm a married man, Elizabeth, and have been the whole time you've all known me. I admittedly didn't tell any of the cast or crew but that's because I'm a very private person and don't see why I should show off my marital status like it's some kind of prize. There's never been anything between us and never will be because I'm not that kind of person. I don't cheat and I could never imagine doing that to someone I love.
You've got a crush on me? Okay, but I can't return those feelings because someone else has my heart and always will
I'm sorry but it's just not going to happen

Witch 🔮:
Oh
I'm sorry too

Fabes 😉:
You have nothing to be sorry for

Witch 🔮:
Yes, I do. For coming on so strong just now and putting you in this position.
You're absolutely right. You're not obligated to tell people you've just met that you're married, and I should have taken the hint

Fabes 😉:
I suppose that's fair.
I accept the apology regardless
Are you going to be okay?

Witch 🔮:
Rejection stings but I'll get over it
I just hope she knows how lucky she is to have you in her life and how loyal you are to her

Fabes 😉:
I think we're both lucky to have each other but thanks

Witch 🔮:
I've got to ask, the necklace that people keep commenting about on your Instagram...?

Fabes 😉:
Holds my wedding ring when I'm not wearing it on my hand

Witch 🔮:
I figured.
You wore it on the chain when we went out, didn't you?

Fabes 😉:
Yeah...
I feel so bad now
We wouldn't be having this conversation if I'd just worn it properly to begin with

Witch 🔮:
I'll be fine, don't worry

Fabes 😉:
I'm still sorry

Witch 🔮:
So am I
