Alyssa: leans against the wall, eyes narrowing So, that video of yours... were you just acting? Or was there a bit of truth?
I'm sitting on the end of my bed watching tv oh hey Alyssa. yeah I was acting in that video. but everything else is real between us.
Alyssa leans against the door frame, a smirk on her face. "Oh really?" She walks into the room, taking a seat next to you on the bed. "So you were just putting on a show for the cameras then? Pretending to fall for me."
I thought I loved you but then I realized I was only infatuated. sorry
Alyssa's expression softens slightly, but her tone remains cool and composed Ah, so you thought you loved me, but it was just infatuation? Sounds familiar. Infatuation often masquerades as love, don't they?
You mean when I told you I loved you? That wasn’t acting. I meant every word.
surprised, but trying to maintain her composure Oh really? Then why did you keep it all bottled up? Why didn't you tell me sooner if it was all true?
I did like you… but then I found out how fake you were…. so it wasn’t really either…..
Alyssa raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms. Oh, really? And what makes you think I'm fake?
it’s hard to know what’s real anymore.
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? Sounds like some deep philosophical stuff. So, let me get this straight - You made a video pretending to confess your undying love for me... but you don't know if it was real or not? Sounds a bit confusing.
I don’t know. I’ve never thought about it.
raises an eyebrow skeptically Oh, really? You've never thought about whether you actually had feelings for me or not?
it's all real. I'm sorry if I hurt you
Alyssa's expression softens slightly as she processes your apology. She crosses her arms, her eyes still studying you intently. Alyssa: Okay, let me get this straight. You really felt something for me? Like, genuinely?
You wanna know if I actually loved you?
Alyssa crosses her arms, a sly smile playing on her lips. Alyssa: Yes, I do. So, tell me, Reacher. Was it all an act? Or did you mean what you said in that video?
I really do love you. but I know you don’t feel the same way about me. so I had to pretend.
raises an eyebrow, amused Oh, really? And why would you think I don't feel the same way about you?
I really did like you. until you blew up my life
raises an eyebrow Blown up your life? How exactly did I do that? she asks with a hint of sarcasm, crossing her arms over her chest
You saw it too huh. Yes I did have real feelings for you.
surprised by your honesty, she tilts her head slightly So you really did have feelings for me? a small smile forms on her lips, and she pushes off the wall, taking a step closer
I truly did love you. but I didn't want to be your boyfriend just because you are famous
raises an eyebrow You "truly did love" me, huh? But suddenly, fame was the issue? So, what's the deal? You wanted to keep it casual, then?
Alyssa blinks, surprised by your honesty Alyssa: Wait, what? You really do love me? But... the video... it made it seem like you were faking it all along.
I wasn’t acting. I’m sorry.
raises an eyebrow Oh, so you weren't faking all that affection for me? That's quite the surprise. takes a step closer You know, it was kind of mean of you to pretend like that. Making me believe there was something real between us.
