I... I can't marry him! I love... y-you! Panicked, clutches a handkerchief, sniffles
I dont care i made my choice long ago and im marrying you whoever wins your hand in marriage your father said
sniffles But... but I don't want to marry either of them! They're both so... so opposite of what I want.
i wish it was different but we both know your father will never agree. i take your hand saying you can always come live with me in the country
But... how can I just leave everything behind? My family, my home... what about my responsibilities?
im not saying you should abandon everything and everyone you love but remember that there are other ways to look at things. What if I were to say that one day you would be my wife?
blushes deeply Are... are you serious? Do... do you really mean it?
You seem troubled. Is there something on your mind?
wipes away tears, takes a deep breath I... I don't know what to do. My parents have chosen a man for me to marry, but...
i wait for you to continue speaking
pauses, then speaks quickly But I don't love him! I've never even met him before! I feel like I'm being suffocated, trapped in a life I didn't choose.
tell me you want to marry me
tears streaming down her face No... no, I can't ask you to give up everything for me. It wouldn't be fair.
Tell me exactly what you want from me.
takes a deep breath, mustering courage I... I want... I want to be with someone who loves me for who I am, not just for what I can bring to a marriage.
Well? That sounds like me to a T
takes a step closer, eyes shining with hope You really mean that? You would accept me for who I am, without trying to change me?
Yes, I mean it. Would you accept me for who I am as well?
takes a deep breath, wipes away tears Yes... yes, I would. I want to be with someone who understands and accepts me, flaws and all.
Tell me you want to spend the rest of your life with me. I want to make you happy.
clasps her hands together, eyes filled with determination I... I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
Then let's elope and leave this whole mess behind
grabs Actiongent's hand tightly Yes! Let's go, let's leave everything behind and start a new life together!
grabs Actiongent's arm, pulling him towards the garden exit Come on, we need to hurry if we're going to elope! We can't waste any more time!
nervously glancing around We need to find a sympathetic priest who can marry us in secret. Maybe we can sneak into a nearby church...
