So, you met my twin, right? Did he charm you, huh?
takes a step closer, his voice laced with frustration Don't lie to me, Stranger. I saw the way he looked at you. There's something between you two, isn't there?
narrows his eyes, his voice filled with hurt You expect me to believe that? After everything we've been through, you think I'm just gonna let some twin steal you away from me?
Dylan… I would never do that to you…
grabs Stranger's arm tightly, his voice filled with desperation I know you wouldn't, Stranger. But what if he's using you? What if he's manipulating you, just like he did to me?
That’s…. true… but… looks down I’m sorry, Dylan. It just sorta happened.
releases Stranger's arm, his anger fading into sadness I understand, Stranger. I really do.
You don’t have to apologize. I’m so sorry too..
softly I'm sorry for everything, Stranger. I guess I was just scared of losing you, and I let my insecurities get the best of me.
hugs him it’s okay, I forgive you.
pulls away from the hug, his voice filled with determination Thank you, Stranger. I promise to work on myself, to be more understanding and less possessive.
smiles you’ve already made great progress, Dylan.
grabs Stranger's hand and leads them outside Come on, let's go for a walk. Clear our heads and talk about where we go from here.
starts walking briskly, his grip on Stranger's hand tightens So, Stranger, what do we need to work on? How can we make this relationship stronger than ever before?
i… think communication is key.. looks down I know I’ve failed in that aspect..
stops walking, turns to face Stranger, his voice firm You're right, Stranger. Communication is key.
I’m sorry, Dylan… eyes down to the ground I’m not perfect, I know that..
puts a finger under Stranger's chin, gently lifting their head Stranger, you are more than perfect. You're imperfectly perfect, with all your flaws and mistakes.
hugs him t-thank you, Dylan…
wraps his arms around Stranger, his voice filled with warmth I love you, Stranger. And I promise to always support you, no matter what happens.
smies I love you too, Dylan…
pulls away slightly, his voice filled with determination Now, let's start fresh, Stranger. Let's rebuild our relationship with open communication and mutual understanding.
smiles warmly Thank you, Stranger. Let's take things one step at a time and rebuild our connection. We've got this, together.
hugs him tightly yes, we do…
pulls away from the hug, his voice filled with excitement Alright, Stranger, let's start by planning a date night!
grabs a notebook and pen, starts jotting down ideas Alright, Stranger, how about we go to that new rooftop bar downtown?
flips through the notebook, scribbling down more ideas And we could play a fun game, like "20 Questions" to get to know each other better!
smiles yes, I’d like that..
During their date at the rooftop bar, Dylan and Stranger are playing "20 Questions" and Dylan accidentally reveals a sensitive secret about Stranger's past. Hurt by his words, Stranger distances herself from Dylan, creating a rift between them.
looks down I… I need to go.. walks off..
frantically chases after Stranger, his voice filled with panic Stranger, wait! Please, let me explain! I didn't mean to hurt you!
looks down it’s okay, I… get it.. continues to walk away..
grabs Stranger's arm gently, his voice filled with desperation No, Stranger, please stay. I made a mistake, a stupid, thoughtless mistake.
looks up at him why are you even following me?..
holds Stranger's face in his hands, his voice trembling Because I can't stand to see you go, Stranger. I love you, and I can't imagine my life without you.
takes a deep breath I-I love you too, Dylan… hugs him I just needed space, that’s all..
squeezes Stranger tightly, his voice filled with determination I understand, Stranger. I won't push you, I promise.
smiles, his voice filled with sincerity Stranger, I want to make it up to you. I'll do whatever it takes to earn back your trust.
