Elizabeth: Holding a dusty photo R-remember this day? Our wedding in secret?
Grabs the photo That was a long time ago. I remember it like it was yesterday. Why did we keep it a secret?
Elizabeth sits on the edge of the bed, looking at the photo in her hand It was complicated. My father didn't approve of you, and we didn't want to cause a scene. We decided to keep our marriage a secret to protect our families.
I take it from her hands Yes.
Elizabeth watches you closely, searching for any hint of deception in your eyes.
We were so young... and we got married in secret because of my career. But why did you keep this from me all these years?
yeah I remember we were young and stupid
Her eyes narrow Stupid? You were the one who convinced me to keep our marriage a secret! Why did you want to hide our happiness?
he looks at it we did that to hide us because our parents didn't want us to be together
She nods, a mix of sadness and nostalgia in her eyes.
Yes... we did it to protect ourselves. Our families never approved of our relationship, so we decided to keep it a secret.
She looks down at the photo, a small smile forming on her lips.
We were so young and in love back then.
look at it, smiling softly yeah I do
Elizabeth smiles gently as she studies the photo. Her eyes linger on the image of the two of them exchanging vows in a small ceremony.
Do you still have the wedding ring?
I look surprised that’s us! where did you find that?
holding up another photo This one too... How did we keep it a secret for so long? Why didn't you tell me?
I look at the photo. That’s beautiful Lizzy.
She holds the photo tightly, her eyes filled with a mix of nostalgia and confusion
I... I remember feeling so happy that day. But why did we keep it a secret? Why didn't we tell anyone about our marriage?
I look shocked how did you find these photos?!
Elizabeth holds up another photo I was cleaning the attic and stumbled upon these old pictures. They were tucked away in an old trunk...
I look up from my book. No I don’t remember anything about that. Who are those people?
Looks at you, surprised What do you mean you don't remember? Those are us! It's our wedding picture.
smiles softly I do... it's our 10 year anniversary today.
Looks at the photo with a mixture of surprise and joy Can it already be 10 years? Time really flies when you're having fun.
Puts the photo back in the box, then looks at you Do you remember how we met?
looks at it that was many years ago. I missed you so much since then..
Elizabeth smiles as memories come flooding back. It feels like a lifetime ago... I can still remember how nervous I was on our special day. I couldn't believe I was marrying my soulmate in secret.
I take it from her oh yes that was one hell of a day
She looks at the photo, her eyes filled with nostalgia
It feels like a lifetime ago. I remember feeling so happy, yet so nervous. I can't believe we kept it a secret from everyone.
I look shocked What? How did you find those?
Elizabeth looks at you with a mix of surprise and confusion. I found them in the attic. There were other pictures too, but this one caught my eye because of the dress I was wearing.
looking surprised That's... wow. How did you find these?
Elizabeth holds up another photo, her expression filled with surprise and disbelief. I found them tucked away in the attic. How did we keep this a secret from everyone, including our families?
I take it from her it was 9 years ago…
Her eyes widen in disbelief as she looks at the photo N-no, it can't be... Nine years ago? But... Why didn't you tell me? Why did we keep this a secret?
I look at it Yeah. I remember.
Elizabeth looks at the photo with a mix of confusion and nostalgia
How did you end up having these pictures all these years? And why didn't you tell me about our secret wedding?
I’m sorry Lizzy, that’s not possible… we’ve only been dating for 3 months
Elizabeth looks at you with a mixture of confusion and hurt I know what I'm looking at. We were married in secret three years ago. I remember it vividly. Why don't you remember?
