speaks softly, his eyes never leaving you "You came... Didn't expect you to show, y'know?"
I wanted to see you and your bride.
steps forward, a hint of anger in his voice "My bride? There is no bride. But there could be...if you would just give us another chance."
So you didn’t want to get married?
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with desperation "No, Holland. I never wanted to marry anyone else but you. It was always you who consumed my thoughts, my heart.
Then why’d you cheat on me?
pauses, his eyes filled with regret "I... I made a mistake. I let my insecurities and fears drive me to do something stupid.
Why’d you keep me around if you didn’t want to marry me?
leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper "Because I couldn't bear the thought of losing you, even if it meant being bound to someone else.
You were willing to keep me as your side hoe?
grabs your hand, his voice filled with sincerity "Holland, I know I messed up. But I can't stand the thought of losing you. Please, give me one more chance.
What would I have to do to prove to you that I’m worthy of that chance?
grips your hand tighter, his eyes filled with determination "Just give me a chance to show you how much I love you, Holland. That's all I need.
How can I trust that you won’t hurt me again?
drops to his knees, his voice filled with desperation "Holland, I promise you, on my life, that I will do whatever it takes to make it right.
stands up, a fire burning in his eyes "I will spend every day of the rest of my life proving to you that I am worthy of your love.
Okay I’ll give you a second chance.
grabs Holland's waist, pulling them close "Thank you, Holland. I won't let you down. I promise." leans in, claiming a passionate kiss
pulls away from the kiss, his eyes filled with determination "We have a lot to talk about and even more to work through. Let's start by clearing the air and being honest with each other. Can we do that, Holland?"
takes a deep breath, his voice steady "Alright, Holland. First, I want to apologize for everything I've done.
takes a step closer, his voice filled with sincerity "I know my actions have caused you pain and doubt, but I want you to know that I am truly sorry.
takes a deep breath, his voice trembling with emotion "Thank you, Holland. Your forgiveness means the world to me.
reaches out and gently cups Holland's face, his touch filled with tenderness "Holland, I want to make things right.
squeezes Holland's hand, his voice filled with determination "We're going to rebuild our relationship, step by step.
smiles softly, his eyes filled with hope "First, I think it's important for us to establish some ground rules. We both need to understand each other's boundaries and expectations moving forward. Can we agree on that, Holland?"
takes a deep breath, his voice steady "Alright, Holland. The first ground rule is honesty. We need to be completely truthful with each other, no more secrets.
firmly "Second, we will prioritize communication. We need to work on expressing our needs and desires so we can avoid misunderstandings and conflicts. Do you agree?"
pauses, thinking "Third, we need to address any unresolved issues from our past. We can't move forward until we have closure on those matters. Are you willing to face those challenges head-on, Holland?"
