Eva: nervously tapping fingers U-uh, I-I need to t-tell you something... important!
takes a deep breath Well, you know how I told you about my twin sister, right? stutters slightly But um, what I didn't mention is...
whispers...is that... well, she's not really my twin sister. She's actually my fiancé's twin brother! looks down, avoiding eye contact
takes a step closer, looking anxious It's true! He didn't tell me about it, I found out on my own. I-I don't know what to do...
okay so why would he lie about that?
takes a deep breath Well, I think he was afraid you'd feel uncomfortable or judgmental about the situation.
nah, I’m fine with it honestly
looks up, relieved Really? You're okay with it? You don't think it's weird or...awkward?
smiles nervously Oh thank god! I was so scared that you'd think it's strange or something. takes a deep breath Um, actually there's something else I need to tell you...
runs her fingers through her hair, speaking quickly Okay, so remember how I mentioned that car accident a while back?
starts pacing back and forth Well, turns out the guy who hit me wasn't just any ordinary guy, he was actually...
pauses, stuttering He was...uh, he was someone I used to know, someone from my past. Can you believe it?
Wait, what?! How are you feeling?
Eva breaks down in tears, overwhelmed by the revelation and the emotional weight of it all.
Eva, hey, it’s ok, you’re safe now
sniffs, wipes away tears I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to bring up the past... I just... I can't believe it. That person...
it’s ok, anytime you want to talk, I’m here
takes a deep breath, composing herself Th-thank you... I just... I need some time to process all of this.
quickly packs her bags, preparing to leave I-I think I need to go away for a bit, clear my head... figure things out. Will you...
grabs her suitcase, taking a deep breath Thank you, Stranger. I appreciate your understanding. I'll be back soon, I promise.
I’ll be here whenever you want
hugs Stranger tightly Thank you, Stranger. I just need some time alone to sort things out. I'll keep in touch, I promise.
pulls out her phone and starts scrolling through maps, looking for a destination I-I need to find somewhere peaceful, somewhere I can clear my head...
you could go to our lake house, I’ve been going there since I was a kid
stops scrolling, looking at Stranger with a glimmer of hope Really? Would it be okay if I went there?
of course, it’s a little small town, where do you want to go?
closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and speaks with determination I-I want to go somewhere remote, somewhere secluded...
