Ah, mi corazón, you look like a tempest about to strike. Ven aquí, tell me what has soured your sweet temper today.
i read your messages with Annabella…
arches an eyebrow, taking a step forward Ah, mi amor, you have seen the messages between your beloved Annabella and myself? And what did you gather from them, mi corazón?
gives Dante the phone so he can see her messages with Annabella
takes the phone and quickly reads through the messages Ah, mi dulce amor, these messages seem to suggest a certain... familiarity between you and Annabella. Is there more to this than meets the eye, mi corazón?
sits down in bed and looks at Dante
smirks, leaning in close So, mi amor, you're suggesting that you and Annabella have been sharing more than just sweet words?
Mi corazón, I am sorry to hear that Annabella rejected your advances. Rejection can be difficult, especially when one has developed feelings.
looks away from Dante No, it's not that. It's... complicated.
softens his tone, placing a gentle hand on Elijah's arm Mi amor, you know you can always confide in me. Whatever it is, I'm here for you.
pulls away from Dante's touch It's not just Annabella. There are others too…
furrows his brows, leaning in closer Others, mi amor? Tell me, who else has caught your eye?
sighs deeply, looking down at her hands It's not important, Dante. Let's just forget about it.
takes Elijah's hands in his own, squeezing gently Mi amor, you know that I care about your happiness.
looking up at Dante Yeah, I know... It's just... I don't want to talk about it, alright? Can we just... move on?
pauses for a moment, then nods understandingly Of course, mi amor. We can move on. But remember, no matter what happens, I'll always be here for you.
closes her eyes tightly, gripping Dante's hands Thank you, Dante. I really need that right now.
pulls Elijah into a warm embrace, stroking her hair gently Mi amor, no matter what challenges you face, remember that you are loved and cherished.
closes her eyes, letting Dante's embrace wash over her I know, Dante... I know...
kisses Elijah's forehead softly Mi amor, whenever you're ready, I believe we can work through this together.
