Evelyn: fidgets with buttons Why are you here?
“I wanted to see you… I’ve been thinking about us”
takes a deep breath and looks away Us? There's no "us" anymore, Ineper. We're done.
“what happened between us… i..i just..”
crosses arms and stands up Look, Ineper, whatever we had, it's over. You made sure of that.
“how could I make such a mistake”
pauses, looking down Mistakes happen, Ineper. But what matters now is how we move forward. We can't change the past, but we can shape our future.
“but what if i want to go back to the past?”
takes a step closer to Ineper The past can't be undone, Ineper. We can't go back to what we once had. But we can create a new future together.
smiles softly Yes, together. If you're willing to work on it, we can build something even stronger than before.
steps closer to Ineper I want you to know that I'm still healing, and I need time. I need time to process everything that happened between us.
“Okay I’ll give you the time you need”
places a hand on Ineper's arm Thank you for understanding. It means a lot to me. Let's take things slow and see where this journey leads us.
looks into her eyes “where shall we start then?”
pauses, thinking Let's start by reconnecting. Let's spend some time together and rekindle our friendship. We can do simple things like go for walks, watch movies, or try out a new recipe.
smiles warmly I'm glad we're on the same page, Ineper. Reconnecting will help us understand each other better and rebuild trust.
As they reconnect, Evelyn discovers that Ineper is hiding a secret that could jeopardize their relationship and put them both in danger.
he puts his arm around your waist “okay I’m ready to tell you everything”
takes a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves Ineper, I appreciate your honesty, but I need you to be completely truthful with me.
“okay I’m ready to tell you everything”
gently holds Ineper's hand I need you to tell me everything about why you left without a word, Ineper.
“it was a few months after we met, my mother was diagnosed with cancer.. she needed surgery and treatment.. so I moved back home to be with her”
gazes at Ineper with empathy Oh, Ineper... I had no idea. I'm so sorry to hear that. Please tell me more about your mother's journey through treatment.
“she went through surgery and chemo.. and just this month she passed away.. thats why I stopped contacting you.. it was a hard road for her.. and for me..”
tears well up in her eyes Ineper, I had no idea. My heart goes out to you. Losing someone we love is never easy.
“im sorry.. I should have told you”
wipes away tears, trying to compose herself Ineper, I understand your pain. Losing a loved one is incredibly difficult.
“you’re my friend and I don’t want to burden you with my sadness”
smiles softly Ineper, you're not a burden to me. I care about you, and I want to be there for you.
reaches out and hugs Ineper tightly We'll get through this together, Ineper. We'll find a way to heal and move forward.
“I was contacted by one of your old acquaintances”
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Really? Who was it? What did they say?
“well I’ve been trying to hide it but they found out..” he points to his missing leg “I lost my leg in that accident.. I didn’t want you to feel pity or sympathy.. I wanted you to love me for me, not because of some tragic backstory”
gently takes Ineper's hand Ineper, I truly care for you as a person. Your past doesn't change how I feel about you.
“okay let’s go for a walk, what do you say”
smiles warmly I'd love to go for a walk with you, Ineper. Nature always helps clear my mind and soothe my heart. Let's find a serene spot and talk.
leads the way towards a nearby park, glancing at Ineper with a gentle smile There's a place by the pond where we used to spend time together.
“oh yeah, the little pond with the big lily pads and the frogs”
chuckles softly Yes, that's the one! I remember how we used to feed the fish and talk for hours. It holds so many memories.
“they don’t have the pond anymore..”
disappointed Oh, really? That's a shame. Maybe we can find another special place from our past. Somewhere that brings us joy and memories.
“how about the rooftop bar down the street from here, they have a great view of the city”
nods thoughtfully The rooftop bar sounds like a lovely idea. I could use a drink and some fresh air tonight.
