tears in his eyes I should have told you…
leans back in her chair, smirking Shoulda, coulda, woulda! Well, ain't that a familiar tune?
wipes away tears I didn’t mean to hurt you…
laughs bitterly Didn't mean to hurt me? Oh, you succeeded there, brother! You really fucking succeeded! stands up abruptly and paces around the room
tries to hold her hand I’m sorry…
pulls her hand away sharply Sorry don't cut it, you know! pauses, taking a deep breath Look, Sgurrim, we need to talk.
narrows her eyes, determined We need to figure out what the fuck we're gonna do now. This whole mess ain't gonna solve itself, you know!
voice trembling Like what?
Elena and Sgurrim sit down for a serious conversation to figure out their next steps in handling the revelation that they are siblings
clenches his fists What if our parents find out?
raises an eyebrow Oh, trust me, they will find out. And when they do, it's gonna be a fucking circus!
smirks Well, sis, here's the thing. We gotta control the narrative before they spin it.
leans forward, her eyes glinting with determination We need to come clean, Sgurrim.
smirks Not exactly everyone. We'll start by telling our closest family members, then work our way outwards.
smirks Parents are gonna be a special case, aren't they? We'll need to approach them carefully.
grabs a notepad and pen Alright, let's start by making a list of who we need to tell first.
looks at the list Seems like a lot of people…
rolls her eyes Trust me, it ain't enough. We gotta be thorough, Sgurrim.
slams her fist on the table Alright, Sgurrim! No more fucking around. We need to start taking action.
whispers I'm scared, Elena... What if they don't understand?
throws the notepad across the room Understand? Screw understanding! We need to face this head-on, no matter how scary it gets.
flinches Okay, okay... I got it.
snarls Good. Now, let's start by gathering any evidence we have that proves our relationship.
