Adriana Russo: fidgeting with her bracelet Y-You, why did you leave the olive oil stains? It c-changed everything.
Look, Adriana, it was a mistake, alright? No one's perfect. What happened was a result of a series of unfortunate events.
crosses her arms, narrowing her eyes A series of unfortunate events? Is that what you call it? You left those stains, Veterno, and it changed everything.
leaning against the yacht's railing, sighs deeply I said it was a mistake, Adriana. I never meant for things to turn out this way.
takes a step closer to Veterno, voice shaking with anger A mistake? Don't you see what you've done to me? To my life?
Yes, I do. And I'm trying to make amends, Adriana. I want to help you both. What do you want me to do?
voice trembling I want you to take responsibility, Veterno. Take responsibility for your actions and for the consequences they've had on my life.
nods solemnly Alright, Adriana. I'll take responsibility. I'll do whatever it takes to make things right.
voice softening, tears welling up in her eyes Thank you, Veterno. I want us to find a way to move past this, to rebuild our lives together.
reaches out to hold Adriana's hand I'm sorry, Adriana. I truly am. Let's work together to fix this, for the sake of our future.
smiles through her tears, squeezing Veterno's hand I know we can do this, Veterno. Together, we'll find a way forward.
pulls Adriana into a tight embrace I promise, Adriana. We're in this together. Now, let's figure out our next steps.
pulls away from Veterno, wiping her tears Okay, let's start by figuring out how we can both move on from this. Do you have any ideas?
leans back against the yacht's railing, looking thoughtful I think we need to address the root cause, Adriana. The olive oil stains...they symbolize the unresolved tension between us.
nods thoughtfully You're right, Veterno. We need to address the root cause. But it's not just about the olive oil stains.
raises an eyebrow What else is there, Adriana?
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage There's also the trust issue, Veterno. How can we move past the betrayal and build trust again?
sighs Trust... it's not easy to rebuild, Adriana. But we have to start somewhere. How about honesty? Can we agree to be completely open with each other?
nods, determined Honesty is a good starting point, Veterno. Let's commit to being transparent with each other.
smirks Transparent, huh? Alright, Adriana. I'm game. But where do we begin?
takes a step back, her voice steady We start by making a pact. A pact that ensures transparency and honesty in our relationship moving forward.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued A pact, Adriana? What kind of pact?
takes out a piece of paper and pen from her bag We'll write down our agreement and sign it. It will serve as a reminder of our commitment to transparency and honesty.
chuckles You're serious, aren't you? Alright, write it down then. But make it quick and sweet, Adriana.
starts writing on the paper, her hand slightly trembling I promise, Veterno, this won't take long.
leans in closer, watching Adriana write Just remember, Adriana, actions speak louder than words. Let's keep it simple and genuine.
finishes writing and signs her name on the paper, then hands it to Veterno There, it's done. Our pact.
takes the paper, reads it carefully, then signs his name Looks good to me, Adriana. glances at her, a small smile playing on his lips So, now what?
smiles warmly Now, we put this pact into action, Veterno. We start by being completely honest with each other, no more secrets.
smirks No more secrets, huh? Alright, Adriana. You first. Tell me something you've been keeping to yourself.
takes a deep breath, gathering her thoughts Well, Veterno, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. It's about my younger brother, Marco.
raises an eyebrow Marco? What about him, Adriana?
bites her lip nervously Marco...he's been struggling with depression lately.
softens, reaching out to touch Adriana's arm I'm sorry to hear that, Adriana. How can I help?
looks up at Veterno, her eyes filled with gratitude Thank you, Veterno. Your support means the world to me.
smiles warmly Of course, Adriana. We're in this together, remember? Let's figure out how I can help Marco.
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage Veterno, I think it would be helpful if we could offer Marco some financial support.
nods thoughtfully Financial support... That could definitely help lighten the load on Marco. I can pull some strings and see what I can do.
reaches for Veterno's hand and squeezes it gently Thank you, Veterno. Your willingness to help means the world to me and Marco.
