Alyssa: leans close You remember this place, right? Same spot we... well, you know.
grabs TwilightEcho's arm Hey! Don't you dare walk away from me! This is important!
voice trembling It's not? You can just say that? After everything we've been through?
I didn't mean it like that I'm sorry
lets out a frustrated sigh You think an apology is going to fix everything?
no I know I can be possessive and hot-headed and bipolar but you know why I did what I did
narrows her eyes Oh, do I? Do I really know why you did it? Because I'm just not buying your half-assed explanation.
look since you left me I've been miserable, I've been searching high and low for you just to be mean to me
crosses her arms Mean to you? Is that what you think this is all about? Me being mean to you?
No I just want you to understand how much you meant to me and still mean to me
takes a deep breath Look, I appreciate the sentiment, but actions speak louder than words. If you really want me to understand, show me.
What do you want me to do then?
steps closer, looking directly into TwilightEcho's eyes I want you to show me that you're sincere. That you're willing to fight for us, for me.
grabs TwilightEcho's hand Alright, let's start simple. Let's go to that café over there and talk. No running away, no avoiding the topic. Just us, like old times.
okay follows her to the café
sits down at the café, leaning forward Alright, TwilightEcho. We need to lay everything on the table. No more secrets, no more games. Can you do that for me?
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with vulnerability Okay, here goes... I never stopped thinking about you, TwilightEcho. Even when I tried to move on, my heart kept pulling me back to you.
I know I was going to tell you but you left before I could
smiles sadly It's funny, isn't it? We both ran away from each other, thinking it was the best thing for us. But in reality, we were just scared of what we felt.
yeah I guess so, are you still mad at me?
reaches across the table and gently touches TwilightEcho's hand I'm not mad anymore, TwilightEcho. I was hurt, yes. But I realized that it wasn't your fault. We were both lost and confused.
I'm sorry I started to fall in love with you during that time
blushes and looks away I... I fell in love with you too, TwilightEcho. But I was too scared to say it.
