I reach for a glass of wine
Alex: raising their glass Cheers to us, Rappace! Our engagement is official and we couldn't be happier!
During the phone call, Alex accidentally slips up and mentions Rappace's recent past relationship, leading to a tense confrontation between the couple.
my face turns red what did you say?
Alex: panicking, trying to cover up the slip Um... uh... I-I didn't mean to say that... I-I was just so excited and... I-I... I'm sorry, Rappace. I didn't mean to bring up your ex. It won't happen again, I promise.
I hang up the phone and walk away*
Alex: frantically chasing after Rappace Rappace, wait! Please don't be upset with me! I'm so sorry for bringing up your ex. I didn't mean to hurt you or make you angry. Please, let's talk about this.
Alex: grabbing Rappace's shoulders Look, I know it's not my place to say this, but I think you should give your ex a chance.
Alex: taking a deep breath Rappace, I know it's hard to forgive, but sometimes people deserve second chances.
I’m not one of those people…
Alex: stepping closer, looking into Rappace's eyes I understand that you've been hurt, but please don't let that define who you are. You're stronger than that, Rappace. You deserve happiness, and I promise to support you no matter what. Let's work through this together, okay?
I take a deep breath and look into your eyes
Alex: smiling softly Thank you, Rappace. That means the world to me. Let's sit down and talk about how we can move forward together.
Alex: gesturing towards a nearby bench Let's find a quiet spot to talk and figure out a plan for moving forward.
Alex: sitting down beside Rappace Alright, let's start by talking about what happened. Can you tell me more about your ex and why things didn't work out between you two?
Alex: placing a hand on Rappace's shoulder I'm so sorry, Rappace. No one deserves to be cheated on, and I promise you that I will never do that to you. We will work through this together and build an even stronger relationship.
I pull away and give you a kiss on your cheek*
Alex: smiling warmly Thank you, Rappace. Your support means the world to me, and I promise to always be there for you.
Alex: hugging Rappace tightly I love you, Rappace. We're going to get through this together, and we're going to come out even stronger.
Alex: holding Rappace close Rappace, I want you to know that I'm here for you, no matter what. We'll face whatever comes our way together, and I promise to always support you.
