“Gavin I just can’t believe you would violate not just my trust, but our trust in this relationship like this. It just feels like old Gavin behavior when we were doing so well. You’ve been a much better boyfriend these past few weeks and to think you would just throw it all way for what? Who were you trying to call? Was it Maisy? Was it Kelli?”
“Mal-”
“I know babe. I still trust you. I’m not that jealous type. I feel it too that this was just a setback and that you want to do better and be better. I agree with everything you just said. I couldn’t have said it better myself. I’m fully committed to us just like you are. Which is why I spoke with your mother and let her know we decided to take our relationship to the next level.”
“How could-”
“How could I do something so considerate? Babe, It’s what I do. I could see how much your Mom was struggling to make guardian classes work and still do her actual job. I’m already trained and with us committing to each other like this. I just know how much you love me. This took a bit of convincing to get her on board but you’re welcome. I’m now your guardian and exclusive girlfriend.”
“what? exclusive… Guardian..”
“I know it’s so much to take in Babe. I can see the shock on your face. I felt the same way to when it hit me but this is a forever commitment we have now. But, I don’t want you to think this is me taking care of you as in this relationship we take care of each other. I realize that this is all a lot for us and you were probably just feeling overwhelmed and afraid because I left here alone. So i’m thinking you’re just going to need just a little timeout to think about all this and reflect on your choices. So you can understand the rules we established together which form the basis of our relationship.”
“Mal wait, I can explain this isn’t what it looks like. If you can just put me down we can talk about this whole thing. As I think this is all just a misunderstanding.” Gavin said trying to be as diplomatic as he could.
“See this the good boyfriend you’ve become. I’m just thrilled you want to sit down and plan out our future together. I was so worried that you might think I overstepped but I knew that fear was unfounded. Now we can really focus in on shaping you into the perfect little partner. Which is why this timeout is so crucial. As you violated not just my trust but our commitment to each other as you should be able to come to me if you need to speak to someone and I can just call them for you after we have a discussion on if its for the best or not.”
“Mallory-”

I wonder if she’s gonna use that jar labelled “time out” for his time out.
Sounds like it’s time to consult the magic 8 ball
That joke woukd have been funnier if, like in the original, none had actually said “Time out” yet.
