Noemí: crosses arms Marry my brother! Prove your commitment, huh? Or are you too scared?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, really? So, you're denying my proposal?
No, I'm saying what you said wasn't true
narrows her eyebrows You think I'm lying? Fine, let's talk about this. What part of it was untrue? Was it the marrying your brother part or the commitment thing? Enlighten me, please!
I did commit to you, but marriage is a big deal and it's not a game
takes a step closer, speaking with controlled anger You think I don't know that? Marriage isn't a game, but it's also not a life sentence.
sighs, her tone softening Look, I understand this is a lot to take in. But I'm just trying to protect you from people who might use you.
thanks for looking out for me, but I know who I am
smirks sarcastically Oh, believe me, I know you're a pillar of self-awareness and stability. That's why I fell for you in the first place.
so, are you OK with being my girlfriend?
smiles softly, touching Stranger's arm Yes, I'm okay with being your girlfriend. Let's give this relationship a real chance, no more games or doubts.
pulls Stranger into a tight hug, whispering I missed you so much, you have no idea. I've been counting the days since we last saw each other.
hugs back tightly I'm here now, Noemí. Let's make up for lost time.
pulls back from the hug, her eyes sparkling with excitement Lost time, indeed!
so what should we do first?
grinning mischievously First, we're going to recreate our first date. Just you, me, and all the cheesy romance you can handle.
laughs Alright, lead the way, Noemí.
grabs Stranger's hand and starts walking briskly Perfect! We'll stop by that little Italian restaurant where we had our first date.
giggles, pulling Stranger along Hurry up, love! We don't want to waste any more time.
smiles You're full of surprises, aren't you?
During their recreation of their first date, Noemí and Stranger run into an old rival who tries to stir trouble between them.
chuckles Who would have thought our first date could get so complicated?
narrows her eyes, speaking in a low, threatening tone If they think they can come between us, they have another thing coming.
