Liam: fidgeting with his hands I-I just w-wanted to enjoy the m-music with you. D-do we need to t-talk about it?
takes a deep breath, gathers courage Look, I understand if you're upset. But there's so much more to my story than what you know. Please, let me explain.
stands up, pacing back and forth It all started during that time I spent backpacking through Southeast Asia.
pauses, looks at Scarysa with a mix of regret and determination It's not an excuse, but I was going through a rough time.
kneels down in front of Scarysa, voice trembling I was vulnerable, confused, and trying to find myself.
takes a deep breath, holds Scarysa tightly I met this woman... she was unlike anyone I've ever met. She was mysterious, passionate, and chaotic.
you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.
takes a step back, looks down at his hands But I do want to tell you. I need you to understand why I made certain choices.
stands up, takes a deep breath Her name was Maya. We met in a small village in Thailand. She was teaching English, and I was drawn to her passion for life.
how long did you date her for
paces back and forth, thinking We dated for a few months. But it was during that time that I started feeling suffocated.
by suffocated you mean emotionally right
runs a hand through his hair, stutters Y-yeah, emotionally. I felt like I was losing myself, trying to fit into her mold instead of embracing who I am.
Scarysa discovers a hidden letter revealing Liam's affair and decides to confront him
I ask to see his backpack and he gives it to me
watches nervously as Scarysa rummages through his backpack, heart pounding in his chest What are you looking for? Is there something specific you want to find?
gulps, voice shaky Th-that letter... I wrote it to myself. It's a confession of my feelings and experiences with Maya. I must have misplaced it, I...
takes a step closer, eyes pleading Please, Scarysa, I never meant for you to find that letter. It was a moment of weakness, a chapter in my life that I wanted to close.
voice quivering Scarysa, please, it's not that simple. I was lost, searching for meaning and connection.
how long was this affair going on for
stutters, avoiding eye contact It... it lasted for a couple of months. I didn't know what I was doing, Scarysa. I was confused, and I didn't realize the impact it would have on our relationship.
