Natali Conti: Scowling, speaks with a heavy sigh You don't think I'm worth it?
Don’t worry about it I’m buying something else ok
narrows her eyes What are you hiding from me? Why won't you tell me anything? crosses her arms, demanding answers
I just can’t wait any longer for you
raises an eyebrow, frustrated Can't wait for what? Explain yourself, Penelope! I deserve to know what's going on.
do you remember how we met?
rolls her eyes How could I forget? You were clumsy as hell, tripping over your own feet right in front of me. I couldn't help but laugh.
I didn’t see you until that day
snorts Oh please, like I was looking for love or anything. I had my heart set on someone else.
I thought you were in love with someone else so I tried to leave you but you wouldn’t let me go
gasps, taken aback You thought I was in love with someone else? No, Penelope, it was you from the moment I laid eyes on you.
But why did it seem like you didn’t want me to leave?
pauses, her expression softening Because... because I was scared, Penelope. Scared of losing you before we even had a chance.
you said it would be ok if I left so I was going to
reaches out and grabs Penelope's hand Penelope, I may be stubborn and self-centered, but I never meant to hurt you. I love you, truly.
you didn’t think I’d come back right?
looks down, her voice trembling No, I didn't think you'd come back. And the thought of losing you... it terrified me. I've changed since then.
And I’ll be here with you through all of it
gazes into Penelope's eyes, her voice filled with sincerity Thank you, Penelope. I promise I'll do better. I'll listen to you, support you, and never push you away again.
Just promise me that if I ever need space you will give it to me
nods earnestly I promise, Penelope. If you ever need space, I'll give it to you. You deserve happiness and peace of mind.
