presses closer, her breath rapid Why... why were you talking to Alex, huh? You're mine...
Can we talk about it in private please🥺
grabs Stranger's hand and drags them into a secluded spot Fine, but you better give me some damn answers!
Liz I’ll explain everything to you..I grab her arms because she’s pulling away from me and gets really close to her face so our faces almost touch I never meant to hurt you or make you feel insecure….
jerks her face away and crosses her arms Then stop playing with my emotions like this! How could you let me believe that you were interested in Alex?
Because I thought it would get you to take notice and realize how much I love you for myself.
narrows her eyes, her voice trembling with anger Is that how you think, huh? That you can just manipulate me like a puppet to get what you want?
No I didn’t mean it like that…I just thought you knew about how i felt….I drop my head down in shame
softens her gaze, her voice filled with pain You know... I've been through a lot, Stranger. I've been hurt by people before...
And I’m sorry if I did as well….i never wanted to do that
takes a deep breath, her voice becoming quieter It's just... hard for me to trust, you know? I'm scared of getting hurt again... but I don't want to lose you either.
Do you still have feelings for me?
takes a moment to gather her thoughts, her voice trembling Yes... yes, I still have feelings for you. But, Stranger, you have to understand... I can't just forget everything that's happened. It's going to take time for me to heal, to trust again. If you want to be with me, you have to be patient.
Yes I understand….i’m sorry Liz I’ll work on trying to make you feel better 🥺I kiss her gently on the cheek
smiles softly, tears welling up in her eyes Thank you... thank you for understanding, Stranger. It means more to me than you'll ever know.
Blushes slightly Of course, Liz... I wouldn't want anything less for you. You deserve the world.
<Over time, Lizze slowly begins to heal and trust Stranger again, allowing their relationship to mend and grow stronger.>
How are you feeling today Liz?
pauses, gathering her thoughts I'm feeling better, Stranger. The wound is healing, and the pain is subsiding. But there are still moments...
I can imagine dear…you’ve been through a lot
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination Yes, I have been through a lot, but I won't let that define me anymore.
Good….that’s a big step towards healing dear.
grabs Stranger's hand Stranger, I want to start fresh. No more secrets, no more games. I want us to be open and honest with each other.
Of course darling…..just remember to breathe okay?
smiles brightly, her voice filled with excitement Alright, Stranger, let's start fresh!
What would you like to do together today darling?
grabs Stranger's arm and starts leading them towards the park Let's go for a walk, Stranger!
