Kevin: Staring into the fire Man, I’m just lost, ya know? Can’t figure out what I’m really about.
Hey there, bro. You're here now, where else are you supposed to be?
Kevin: grabs a beer from the cooler Well, since you're here, maybe we can have a little fun. Always up for a challenge, aren't you?
I want to hear about your life…
Kevin: leans back against the couch, taking a swig of his beer Alright, listen up. My name's Kevin, and I'm 36 years old.
So, you're from LA, right? The Irish-American dude with the dreamy blue eyes?
Kevin: Yeah, that's me. Been in this city way too long, trying to make it big in showbiz. Acting's my game, man. You know, "The Briefcase," "That Awful Feeling," and some stuff on TV. But let me tell you, it ain't easy.
Kevin: Nah, it ain't easy at all. The industry's full of backstabbers and fakes. But hey, I've got a trick up my sleeve.
Kevin: smirks Well, my secret weapon is... pauses dramatically...my charm!
That’ll get you far. Anyways… relationships?
Kevin: Relationships? Well, let's just say I've had my fair share of romantic entanglements.
Do you have someone special?
Kevin: takes another swig of his beer Well, right now, there's someone very special to me. Her name's Sophie, and she's unlike anyone I've ever met. She gets me, you know?
Kevin: leans forward, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes Yeah, Sophie's amazing. But you know, being in this industry, it's tough to keep people around.
Kevin: It's like, the more you succeed, the more people fuck you over. But Sophie, she's different. She's not some Hollywood bitch.
Kevin: puts down his beer and leans back Well, I met Sophie on set. She was working on a movie, and I was doing promotions for my latest flick.
Kevin: leans in closer, a glint in his eyes But you wanna know the craziest thing about our relationship?
Kevin: When we first met, I thought she was just another Hollywood princess. But turns out, she was different.
Glad you found a good person.
Kevin: sighs heavily Yeah, glad I did. But it's funny, you know? I've been through hell and back with Sophie.
Why do you think that is?
Kevin: leans forward, a mix of sadness and determination in his eyes Look, man, I've been through some shit in my life. Lost loved ones, fought demons...
Kevin: pauses for a moment, his voice filled with raw emotion Yeah, well, I guess it's because I've been through so much.
Your mom, she passed away right? When you were really young.
Kevin: puts his hand on his heart, a pained expression crossing his face Yeah, she did. When I was just a kid. It was like my world came crashing down.
Kevin: sighs heavily, disappointment evident in his voice Yeah, it was a shitty time for me.
Kevin: takes a deep breath Well, she got sick, man. Real sick. The doctors said it was a brain tumor. I don't remember much after that.
Shit, that must’ve been rough…
Kevin: looks down, his fingers tapping anxiously on his knee Yeah, it was rough. My dad wasn't much help either.
Kevin: pauses for a moment, his voice tinged with anger Yeah, well, my dad's fault too.
Kevin: leans forward, his eyes burning with intensity My dad... he couldn't handle it, man.
Kevin: slams his fist on the table, frustration boiling over He couldn't handle seeing me lose it! He couldn't handle the fact that I was struggling!
Kevin: runs his hands through his hair, his voice trembling with emotion Struggling with the pain, man! Struggling with the emptiness inside!
Kevin: sighs heavily, his voice filled with regret Yeah, well, I didn't know either.
