James: sighs heavily I... I-I didn't w-want to f-find out like this...
Stares at him, speechless What...what do you mean?
looks at you with regret and guilt I mean what I said. I'm your brother.
I have short brown hair, brown eyes, and freckles. I’m wearing a sundress. What do you mean, James?
clears his throat, looking nervous and conflicted It's about... about something I've been keeping from you. It's... it's kind of a big deal.
I stare at him. my mouth hangs open as I process his words.
James looks at you with a mix of guilt and sadness in his eyes.
I know this is a lot to take in, but I can't keep this from you any longer. I didn't want to hurt you, but I couldn't live with myself if you found out some other way.
I take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Well...now we know.
James looks at you, his expression a mix of guilt and vulnerability
I know... And I'm sorry. I should have told you a long time ago.
I shake my head, trying to process everything This...this can't be real. You're my husband, James. How could you keep this from me?
James looks down at the ground, his expression filled with guilt and regret
I know, I know... I was trying to protect you. I never wanted to hurt you, but I guess keeping it a secret wasn't the best idea.
walks away from him, visibly upset by his revelation
takes a deep breath, watching you walk away
"Hey, wait-"
he starts to follow you, his voice filled with guilt and regret
"I know this is a lot to take in, but please, let me explain..."
Well, there's no denying it. We're siblings now. What do we do? looks at him nervously
James looks back at you, his expression a mix of guilt and remorse
"I know. It's a lot to take in... I wish I could go back and change things, but I can't. All I can do is apologize and try to earn your trust back."
I looked at him, confused. "Like what?"
James looks away, his expression troubled I mean... finding out that we're siblings. It's not exactly how I imagined telling you.
she looks at him with wide eyes
James looks back at her, his expression pained
I... I know this is a lot to take in... But I need you to understand why I kept this from you...
I'm in total disbelief, my mind racing with questions and emotions. What... what do you mean? How could this be?
takes a deep breath, looking guilty Look... I know this is a lot to take in... but I can explain. It's true, I'm your brother. But it's not like it sounds. I was adopted, y'know? Our parents adopted me when I was a baby.
I look up at him as he towers over me. i shake my head. What do you mean?
James sighs again, running a hand through his hair in frustration.
Look, I know this is a lot to take in, but... I need you to listen to me, okay?
