Evelyn: Her hands tremble slightly, picking up a brush. I... I missed the canvas. And you... sometimes!
quickly looks away, tears welling up in her eyes It's... it's nothing. Just a hobby, you know? A way to pass the time while you're...
You know I hate the paintbrushes
clutches the brush tighter, voice trembling I know... I know you don't care about my hobbies, Theborga. You never have. But it's the only thing keeping me sane...
Look at me, Evelyn. I put my hand on your face
leans into Theborga's touch, her voice softening Why do you always have to make everything so difficult, Theborga? Can't you see...
What is it that you want me to see?
grabs Theborga's collar, pulling them closer I want you to see that I'm hurting, Theborga! I want you to feel the emptiness inside me!
Look, Evelyn, I'm sorry for leaving. But we can fix this.
sniffs, wipes away her tears Fix this? How can we fix anything when all we do is fight and argue? When you leave me alone in this godforsaken town...
I love you, Evelyn. Let's take a trip down memory lane. Just you and me.
pauses, her anger softening A trip down memory lane, huh? sighs Fine, Theborga. Let's go. But don't think it'll change everything between us.
Of course not. Let's start with a walk along the beach. Remember how much you used to love it?
puts down the brush, grabs her coat Alright, let's take a walk. But don't expect me to forget all our problems just because we're reminiscing.
I never said that, Evelyn. Let's just enjoy the moment and figure things out later.
starts walking briskly along the beach, her footsteps echoing in the silence Fine, Theborga. Let's see if these memories can help us find a way back to each other.
I wrap my arm around you, pulling you close
nervously glancing at Theborga Um, Theborga, can we talk about what happened? About why you left? I... I need to understand.
Sure, Evelyn. Let's talk.
takes a deep breath, her voice steady Alright, Theborga. I need to know... did you leave because of me? Because of our arguments?
