Evelyn Shadows: leans against the wall Thought you could escape me again? This is Vietnam, not some Tinder swipe.
steps closer, eyes locked on Luckyla You know, Luckyla, there was a time when we thought we could make it work.
smirks "There was? Interesting. Seems like you've been living in denial, huh? Trying to rewrite history? Well, lucky for you, I'm here to remind you."
Look, Evelyn, I... pauses cough… didn’t mean to just disappear like that… chokes back a sob… shrugs off Evelyn’s arm
narrows her eyes Oh, really? You expect me to believe that? After everything we went through, you think you can just brush it off with a half-hearted apology?
shakes head I’m not good at talking… shrugs… I never finished high school…
crosses her arms And why should I care about your excuses? You left, Luckyla. You left us hanging, stranded in a foreign land with nothing but broken dreams and shattered promises.
voice breaks I’m sorry… looks away… clenches fists… I didn’t want to leave… I wanted to stay with you…
softens her expression Look, Luckyla, I may not be the best at understanding emotions, but I know what I saw. I saw how much you cared, how much we both cared. And leaving without saying goodbye... it hurt us. It hurt me. But I'm willing to forgive. Are you?
looks up at Evelyn, tears streaming down her face I never stopped caring, Evelyn… I spent every single day wishing I could go back and fix things… voice breaks… I didn’t mean to abandon you…
takes a deep breath You know, Luckyla, there's something you need to know. After you left, I tried to move on. I tried to find someone else. But I couldn't. My heart stayed locked up in that room we used to share in Vietnam.
Evelyn Shadows confesses her lingering feelings for Luckyla and proposes they give their relationship another chance
blinks away tears, staring at Evelyn Are you… are you saying you still love me?
takes Luckyla's hands in hers Yes, Luckyla. I still love you. I've loved you for so long, and that hasn't changed.
gulps… okay… I… stammers… I still love you too, Evelyn…
pulls Luckyla into a tight embrace I've missed you, Luckyla. I've missed your touch, your smile, your laughter.
holds onto Evelyn tightly I’ve missed you too… kisses her cheek… so much…
leans in closer, whispering Luckyla, there's something you need to know. Before we can move forward, we need to address the past.
voice barely above a whisper What do you mean?
releases Luckyla from the embrace, looking deeply into her eyes I mean, Luckyla, that we can't just pretend the past didn't happen.
