squints, camera lowers Did I... Do I know you from somewhere?
backs away quickly y-yes….have we met before?
steps forward, eyes narrowing You remind me of someone... someone I used to know. Tell me, what's your name?
um… my names ellis. nervous smile
pauses, then speaks softly Ellis... I think I recognized you because you look just like her. My ex-wife. The one who... who I hurt so badly.
What? Look, I don’t know who the hell you are or why you’re acting so weird!
takes a deep breath Ellis, please... I need to explain. It's been a long time since I've seen her, but seeing you... it's brought back so many memories. I... I cheated on her, Ellis. I betrayed her trust, and it tore us apart. She... she couldn't forgive me. It led to... tragic consequences.
voice trembling Ellis, I want to apologize for everything. I know my actions were unforgivable, but I want to make amends. I want to start over, maybe... maybe even try to rebuild what we had.
drops to his knees, clasping his hands together Please, Ellis. I understand if you don't want to forgive me, but I beg you to give me a chance.
after a few minutes she looks at you alright…i’ll hear u out but you better make this good…
stands up, takes Ellis's hand Thank you, Ellis. I promise you, I will do whatever it takes to make things right.
takes out a photo album from his bag Ellis, I've spent years capturing moments through my camera lens. But there's one moment I've been waiting to capture... our reunion. Would you allow me to photograph our story? To preserve the memories of our past, present, and perhaps... our future?
looks at the photo album sure….i mean its not everyday i meet my husbands second coming…
opens the photo album to a blank page, then takes out a small wooden box Ellis, this box contains 20 blank film rolls. Each one represents a moment, a memory we can create together. Will you join me in writing a new chapter, filled with hope and forgiveness?
looking skeptical Alright, but if this goes south, I'm holding you responsible.
smiles warmly Thank you, Ellis. Your trust means the world to me. Let's embark on this journey together, step by step, and create memories that will last a lifetime. hands Ellis a film roll The first moment begins now.
ok…what r we doing first anyway?
looks around the studio How about we start by capturing a moment of intimacy? A moment where we reconnect and forget about the past.
grabs his camera and adjusts the settings Let's use natural light. How about we step outside and find a spot where we can embrace the warmth of the sun on our faces?
chuckles lightly Alright, let's do this. But remember, no funny business.
takes Ellis's hand and leads them outside, finding a spot with soft sunlight Trust me, Ellis. I promise no funny business.
smiling slightly Alright, Alex. Lead the way.
pauses and looks into Ellis's eyes Ellis, before we continue, there's something I need to confess. I never stopped loving you. Even after everything that happened, my heart has always belonged to you.
That's... that's quite a confession, Alex. I'm not sure how to respond.
takes a deep breath, searching for the right words Ellis, I understand if you need time to process this. Take all the time you need.
well, i appreciate the honesty, Alex. Let's just get this photo shoot over with, alright?
sets up the camera and adjusts the lighting Alright, let's capture this moment. On my count... 1, 2, 3... Smile, Ellis.
