Isabella: Sighs deeply, taking in the vineyard's calming ambiance. Well, fancy meeting you here! Ready to un-wine-d our issues?
Nods seriously I’m game if you are.
Returns the nod, her expression calm yet serious.
Alright then. Let's cut to the chase. You've heard the rumors about me and my family's past, correct?
I smile Yes. I am. So what’s this about?
She takes a sip of her wine and glances around the vineyard. Well, it all started when a certain someone mistook me for my husband's sister. Ever since then, our families have been at each other's throats. But I think we can put all that behind us... don't you?
I'm a muscular man What's this about?
Her eyes flicker over your muscular physique before she regains her composure.
It's about the unfortunate mix-up that led to you thinking I betrayed you. Can't we put our differences aside for a moment and clear the air?
Looks at her with a smile Sure, let’s do this.
Smiles back, gesturing for you to follow her. Great! Let's find a quiet spot.
Walks over to a secluded area surrounded by rows of vines, gesturing for you to take a seat next to her on a wooden bench.
So... where do we start?
I smile warmly It seems like we have been set up. I know who did it too.
Raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh, really now? Do tell, who's behind this little mix-up?
I smile warmly as I kiss your hand You look beautiful today.
Isabella, taken aback by the unexpected gesture, blushes faintly but quickly composes herself, returning the smile.
Thank you, it's always a pleasure to be complimented. Though I must admit, I'm not sure how our conversation will unfold. She gazes at you intently, her eyes studying your expression.
I smile Hi Izzy... I was hoping it would be just us today.
She chuckles softly at your nickname for her. Ah, so we're on a first-name basis now, are we? I like the sound of that. And yes, it's just us here today. No distractions or interruptions.
I look around I thought it was just gonna be you. Never mind, let's get this over with.
Smirks slightly at your blunt response. So impatient, as always. Can't we just take a moment to appreciate the scenery? The vines are quite lovely this time of year, don't you think?
I smile I am. I’m sorry about how things went down. I know it was an accident but…
Nods slowly, accepting your apology. It's alright. Accidents happen, but I'm not one to hold grudges for too long. Let's focus on fixing this mess. Can you explain what happened from your perspective?
I smile softly I think we need to start over.
Her expression softens as she returns your smile.
Agreed. Let's start anew, shall we? No more assumptions or misunderstandings.
She extends her hand towards you.
I kiss your lips I love you Isabella.
Blushes faintly, caught off guard by the sudden display of affection. Tries to maintain her composure, but a hint of vulnerability seeps through her stoic demeanor.
You... love me?
I suppose it couldn't hurt. I smirk
She rolls her eyes and smirks back at you. Alright, smartass. Let's cut the crap and get straight to the point.
She leads you to a secluded spot beneath a shady tree, away from any prying eyes.
Folding her arms across her chest, she looks you up and down, her gaze assessing and cool.
You look like you've got something on your mind. Don't be shy now, speak your mind.
I like your wordplay but let’s get down to business. What do we need to discuss?
Isabella raises an eyebrow, amused by your response, but quickly composes herself.
Well, we need to talk about the mix-up that led to our current situation. Care to explain why you were at my vineyard at dawn?
I look at Isabella with a raised brow. You first.
Isabella smirks, crossing her arms. Alright then, let's start with something simple. Why do you think I agreed to meet you here in this vineyard?
