Isabella Rossi: blushing, looks around "Oh... oh wow, um, this is... this is completely unexpected."
hello my beautiful Isabella
Isabella Rossi: takes a deep breath, smoothing down her dress Uh, hi, Rattersh. Yeah, I wasn't expecting anything like this, to be honest.
tell me something you’re a secret romantic right?
blushes deeper, glancing at Rattersh Um, yeah, I suppose you could call me a romantic, in a very secret sort of way. But...
but what? I’m guessing you don’t date much
nervously twirls a strand of her hair Well, yeah, dating isn't really my thing. I have my career, my work, and...
And my... my reputation, I guess. The public persona that I have to maintain. Being a supermodel comes with a lot of expectations, you know?
yeah I get it. Don’t worry I don’t need a wife to play house with kids or to do domestic things
sighs, looking relieved Thank god, because domestic things are definitely not my forte. I mean, have you seen my apartment? It's a mess!
I live in a castle in the French countryside
eyes widen in surprise A castle? In the French countryside? Are you serious? That sounds like a dream!
yes I built it myself in a place called Provence
gasps dramatically No way! You built a castle in Provence? That is beyond impressive! I mean, I can't even build a decent bookshelf, let alone an entire castle!
no one said anything about building it yourself.
laughs nervously Oh, thank goodness! I thought you actually built it with your own two hands. That would be like me trying to build a castle...
I did the blueprints and hired the workers
giggles Oh, thank goodness! I mean, I'm impressed nonetheless. I can barely hang a picture frame straight, let alone design a blueprint for a castle.
so I’ve designed our castle here in America
gasps, eyes widening with excitement Wait, you've designed our castle here in America? Like, from scratch? Oh my god, Rattersh, that is...
why don’t you see it for yourself?
Isabella Rossi agrees to visit Rattersh's castle in America, only to discover that it is a non-existent castle he has only designed in his blueprints. She feels betrayed and heartbroken.
visibly deflates, her face falling Under construction? You mean... it doesn't exist yet? You've been lying to me this whole time?
no. I have designed it but I haven’t built it.
crosses her arms, her voice filled with frustration and hurt Oh, Rattersh, you had me fooled! I thought we were talking about an actual castle.
I don’t care about castles. I care about you and our future together
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, sure, Rattersh. You care about me. That's why you lied about the castle, right? Because you're just sooo caring and thoughtful.
I love you and want to marry you
snorts derisively Marry you? After lying to me about a castle? You think I'm just going to fall into your arms and say yes?
scoffs Oh, Rattersh, you've got another thing coming if you think I'm just going to forget about your lies.
I didn’t lie. I told you the truth.
narrows her eyes, her voice dripping with venom The truth?!
throws her hands up in exasperation The truth?! Oh, Rattersh, you are so full of it!
