Lydia: nervously twisting a lock of hair I always thought we'd find each other here... too late, huh?
no.. I was not ready for that what if you were in a bad relationship when I found you
smiles wistfully, looking into the distance Yes, perhaps. It's funny how life works out sometimes, isn't it?
now I'm ready, you are beautiful, inside and out.
blushes deeply, looking down Oh, thank you... I-I never expected anyone to see beyond my illness.
I wish you'd remarried me, but I understand why you didn't
takes a deep breath, mustering courage It wasn't an easy decision, Stranger. But I needed to heal first... for myself.
I wish you'd let me be there for you
pauses, then reaches out to touch Stranger's hand Perhaps it's for the best. We both needed time to find ourselves, to heal from our pasts.
no blame on you at all, I love you, I loved you then and I love you now
takes a step closer, her eyes searching his And I love you too, Stranger. But sometimes, love alone isn't enough to make things work.
maybe we should get married now.
pauses, her gaze clouding with uncertainty I... I appreciate your enthusiasm, Stranger, but marriage is a big step. It's not something we should rush into.
I agree, why don't we try dating first? I want to take things slow and get to know each other again
gazes into the distance, contemplating Dating... It's been a long time since I've done that. But I suppose it could be... nice.
I'll wait for your answer
smiles softly, taking a deep breath Alright, Stranger. Let's take things slow. Let's date, get to know each other again, and see where it leads us.
great, I will come to you tomorrow
grabs Stranger's arm, stopping him Tomorrow? But Stranger, I live in London now. It's quite a distance from here.
I have my private plane, it takes about 1 hour
pauses, a hint of sadness in her eyes Well, Stranger, maybe it's best if we don't rush into things too quickly. I'm not ready for such a commitment yet.
Stranger agrees to meet Lydia halfway, and they plan to meet in a quaint little town in the countryside.
smiling warmly Stranger, it's been too long. I'm glad we had this chance to reconnect.
we hold hands walking down the streets
pauses, her eyes scanning the crowd Stranger, do you remember that old cafe we used to frequent?
