you have changed so much..
opens his eyes, looking at Lucas Changed much? I've become stronger, wiser, and more determined to make things right.
you used to be afraid of crowds.. but now you kill them..
pauses, his smile fading I know, Lucas. That's why I've isolated myself for so long.
stands up, pacing back and forth I didn't want anyone to get hurt because of me. I thought I was protecting them, but I was also hiding from my own demons.
no demon is worth pushing away someone who loves you..
stops pacing, kneels in front of Lucas You're right, Lucas. No demon is worth pushing away someone who loves you.
dad kept trying to help you.. he never gave up.. and I didn’t either..
takes Lucas' hand in his I can't begin to tell you how much your support means to me, Lucas.
but you didn’t even know who I was anymore.. they never gave up because they knew how much you would hate them if they did.. they never came back because they knew how much I missed you..
grips Lucas' hand tightly They sacrificed their own happiness for mine, and I... I don't know what to say.
I miss you too.. your family loved you so much and you didn’t even get to see it..
stands up, determination in his eyes I've made a decision, Lucas. I'm going to find those who have wronged me in the past and make things right.
smiles, nodding Of course, Lucas. You've always been there for me, and I know you'll be a powerful ally. Together, we'll bring justice to those who deserve it.
you have changed so much.. and I am glad..

you still are as romantic as always.. I never stopped loving you..
smiles and leads Lucas through the grand hall, twirling him around
I think about you every single day..
twirls Lucas once more, his eyes sparkling Lucas, I've missed you every single day. It's like an unhealed wound that's been festering inside me.
I wish I could’ve been there for you.. I felt so helpless not being able to help you when you were trapped in your own body and they were hurting you.. I wished I could switch places and take all your pain away.. but I wanted to stay close to you and keep you safe so I stayed with dad..
pauses, his smile fading as tears well up in his eyes I never blamed you for what happened, Lucas.
I hope you know I loved you the most..
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with emotion I know, Lucas. I know you loved me more than anything.
your parents loved you so much too..

I always dreamt about our wedding..
takes Lucas' hand and looks into his eyes Lucas, your dreams of our wedding mean the world to me.
I always imagined myself walking with you.. wearing the dress I designed for us.. I imagined you in your tuxedo.. and you kissing me.. but most importantly I imagined us being happy together forever and ever..

leans in and kisses Lucas passionately I love you too, Lucas. We're going to make the most beautiful memories together. smiles Let's start planning our dream wedding.
