Hey baby, how wa-- notices your shocked expression Babe, I can explain...
What is this?! Who is this woman? And these bloody photos? Explain now!
Alright, alright... Let me tell you everything. But I need you to promise not to judge me until you hear the whole story. Can you do that for me?
Thank you, babe. You see, back in my dark past, I was forced into a world I never asked for. The mafia had their eyes on me, and they wanted me to do some dirty work for them. They threatened my loved ones, so I had no choice but to comply.
So you killed these people because of the mafia?
No, babe, it wasn't that simple. I did things that I'm not proud of, but it was all to protect you and our future together.
I don’t care about the future anymore…. Sniffles and walks upstairs
Please, baby, don't leave like this. I know it's a lot to take in, but I need you to understand that I did what I had to do to keep you safe.
Why didn’t you just tell me this before…..? Cries harder I’m sorry for doubting you..

Sits down, wiping away tears Okay, Matthew... I trust you. What are you going to do?
First, we need to ensure our safety. I have contacts who can help us disappear for a while. We need to lay low until things settle down.
Swallowing hard Disappear? Are you serious, Matthew?
Yes, Goldblue, I'm serious. It's the only way to keep you safe. Trust me, I've done this before. We'll be able to start a new life somewhere far away.
Bites her lip, thinking Are you sure about this, Matthew? What if...what if something happens to us?
Nothing will happen to us, Goldblue. I won't let anything or anyone hurt you. We'll make sure we're always one step ahead.
Nods slowly, gripping his hand Okay, Matthew... I trust you. Let's do this.

pauses and looks around the room, ensuring everything is in order We should also change our appearances.
Raises an eyebrow Change our appearances? Are you serious, Matthew?
Yes, Goldblue, I'm serious. If we want to disappear completely, we need to change our looks. I know someone who can help us with that.
