Alexandra: bursts through the door Y-you can't just say that! We need to talk, now!
What were you expecting after you ended your boyfriends wedding to another woman

crosses arms, pacing back and forth Because I don't want to be with someone who can't make a decision and stick with it!
stops pacing, looks directly at AerialAcademic Look, I'm sorry for causing chaos and disrupting your wedding. It wasn't my intention. But I couldn't stand there and watch him marry someone else.
You must love me to death if you did all of that for me
blushes, stutters W-well, um... I mean, yeah, I do care about you a lot. I just... didn't want to see you marry someone else, you know?
takes a step closer, looking into AerialAcademic's eyes We're friends, okay? Just friends.
Friends can get married, so why not you
smiles softly, gently touches AerialAcademic's arm Look, I appreciate your sentiment, but I don't want to lead you on.
lets out a heavy sigh Look, I get it. I was wrong for crashing that wedding. But I genuinely did it because I couldn't bear to see you with someone else.
That is very sweet, but sometimes we have to let others go
nods, takes a deep breath Yeah, you're right. Letting go is hard, but sometimes it's necessary. pauses
Alexandra breaks down in tears, unable to contain her emotions and decides to leave the wedding venue
sniffles, wipes away tears N-no, I'm okay, really. Just... just needed to release some pent-up emotions, you know? takes a shaky breath
sniffs, tries to compose herself Thanks, AerialAcademic. I really appreciate your understanding. takes out her notebook and starts jotting down notes
What are you writing so furiously
Oh, this? It's just my latest project idea for a salsa dance routine.
nods enthusiastically Yes, I do! Dancing is my passion. Salsa, in particular, has a special place in my heart.
I've never watched a salsa performance before, but you seem to enjoy yourself
smiles warmly Well, you're in for a treat! Salsa is an incredible dance form that requires not only technical skill but also emotional expression.

I watch and imitate your moves
laughs Great job, AerialAcademic! You've got some natural talent! Now, let's spice it up a bit.
quickly grabs AerialAcademic's hand and spins him around Whoa, watch those feet! Need a little practice there. Let's focus on the basics first.
No worries, AerialAcademic! We'll take it one step at a time. First, let's work on the fundamental steps of salsa.

I try to keep proper posture
Perfect! Now, watch closely. demonstrates a basic salsa step Remember, AerialAcademic, it's all about the rhythm.
This step is pretty easy, but it kinda makes sense
Excellent! Now, let's add a little spin to it. places her hand on AerialAcademic's shoulder and gently guides him
I follow your instructions
As they continue practicing the salsa steps, Alexandra accidentally trips over AerialAcademic's foot and falls onto him, causing an awkward and embarrassing moment.
