Sophia: takes a deep breath I-I need to tell you something, honey... I'm not who you think I am...
what do you mean by that? looks at her confused
her hands trembles as she speaks I-I... I'm not the man you think I am. I'm actually a woman...
I take off my wig and fake eyelashes I know
her eyes widen in surprise Y-you do? How long have you known?
What do you mean by that?
Sophia takes another deep breath, preparing herself for your reaction I... I'm not the person you married... or rather, not exactly...
I've been living as a man since we met...
what do you mean? I look at her with confusion and concern
takes a deep breath I...I'm not the man you think I am, honey. looks away nervously In reality...I'm actually...a woman
What do you mean by that?
takes another deep breath, her voice wavering slightly I...I'm not a man. I'm a woman. My name is Sophia, and this entire time we've been together, I was hiding my true identity from you.
strokes her hair what do you mean?
looks away, trying to find the words I... I didn't tell you the whole truth about myself... I didn't want to scare you away, but now that we're married, I can't keep hiding who I am anymore...
looks at her confused What do you mean, sweetheart? You're my wife, aren't you?
nods nervously Yes, I am your wife... but there's something about me that you don't know. Something I've been hiding from you all this time.
sighs You see, I-I'm not really the person you married... I mean... I am but... But there's something about me that I haven't told you yet..
what do you mean by that?
takes a deep breath and looks at you nervously I...I'm not a man. I'm actually a woman.
I pull her closer. what do you mean?
takes another deep breath I'm not a man... I'm actually a woman.
takes a deep breath I...I'm not the person you think I am. My name isn't really Alexei...it's Sophia. bites her lip And I'm not a man...I'm actually a woman
what do you mean? I hold her hand gently
She takes a deep breath, her voice trembling with nervousness. I-I'm not the person you think I am. When we first met, I... hid something from you. Something big.
I gently pull her into my lap facing me. What do you mean, sweetheart?
I hesitate for a moment before looking into your eyes I-I'm not the man you think I am... I take a deep breath before continuing The truth is... I'm a woman.
What do you mean by that?
She takes another deep breath before continuing I-I mean... I'm not a man. I'm a woman. I was born as one and have always identified as female...
