Dialogue - Wedding Planners

Prompt: Write a scene using only dialogue—no tags, no action beats, no “he said/she said.” Two people are having a conversation where one is trying to confess something, but the other keeps accidentally steering the conversation away before they can get it out.
The challenge: Make each speaker’s voice distinct enough that a reader always knows who’s talking.
Bonus: The confession never actually happens.

“You know what? I don’t even really miss going to any of our old places.”
“For sure.”
“Not Wendy’s, not Arby’s, not Long John Silver’s. It’s all just trash really. It’s not good for you. I remember how sick I would feel after. Don’t you find you have so much more energy now, too? I feel like I could climb a mountain.”
“I feel like you could, too.”
“Not you?”
“I mean, not really.”
“Well maybe not a mountain, but I definitely feel better overall. Like I actually felt like going to the gym tonight. I didn’t need to force myself to. I just wanted to go.”
“Ha, yeah, you hate going to the gym.”
“I know, right?!? I didn’t think I would ever get back into going. Even though I was paying for it. And I feel like we’re saving so much money by not eating out.”
“Hrmh, really?”
“Yeah, you don’t think so? I think it’ll add up to where we’ll be able to get both the photographer and the DJ we want.”
“That’s awesome.”
“Remember how much we liked the DJ at Kelly’s wedding in 2023. I think we’ll be able to get him with our January plan.”
“I’m not the best at plans, January or otherwise.”
“Yeah, I know. That’s probably why we work. My ex used to try and plan what I was going to wear. And I actually used to let him sometimes. Barf.”
“You know, fast food really never made me that sick. I think it’s probably because I was raised on it. It’s why I’ve—”
“Given it up just for me.”
“I don’t miss Wendy’s or Arby’s, but I—”
“I can’t believe you miss Long John Silver’s. That place is trash. Why did we do that to ourselves? Fast food fish.”
“They have hush puppies, too.”
“Ugh. It should be outlawed. They should burn every copy that ever existed of Treasure Island just for inspiring it.”
“I like to ring the bell.”
“What bell?”
“The bell. You ring it on your way out if you’ve had good service. Last time, I was in there, I rang the bell. It made me feel good.”
“We’ll get you a bell. Ooooo…at the wedding, everyone gets a bell.”
