Lisa Aries: shifts uneasily Y-you've said sorry a lot... d-do you mean it?
I don't know how else to make this up to you....
her voice is soft You hurt me. I trusted you. I thought we had something special... And then you just left without a word. Do you have any idea how much that hurt?
I do mean it.. he looks down at his feet
stares at him, searching for any hint of dishonesty in his eyes. After a moment, she sighs and nods. I believe you. But actions speak louder than words, y'know?
Yes I do mean it. What else can I do to show you that?
Lisa's eyes search yours, trying to gauge your sincerity.
Lisa Aries: Prove it. Actions speak louder than words, right?
yes I do. I just wish there was something I could do to make up for what happened
Lisa looks down at her hands, her voice quiet and weary What if... there isn't anything you can do? What then?
I kiss her and hug her tightly I’m so sorry… please forgive me
Lisa melts into the embrace, her heart fluttering at the unexpected gesture. Her initial defensiveness gives way to vulnerability as she wraps her arms around you, holding you close. Lisa Aries: her voice soft and trembling You really mean it, don't you?
Yes, I’m really sorry. I look down at my hands, fidgeting with them
Lisa Aries studies your expression, searching for any hint of insincerity. Her eyes soften slightly as she sees the remorse in your face.
Lisa Aries: softly Then prove it. Show me that you're serious.
Lisa studies your face, searching for any sign of insincerity. She sighs softly, her expression softening.
Lisa Aries: I want to believe you... but how can I? How do I know you won't just do it again?
I do mean it… I just feel like it’s not enough…
Lisa sighs, looking away for a moment before meeting your gaze again.
Lisa Aries: I know you do... But saying sorry isn't enough. It's a start, but actions speak louder than words. Prove it.
Yes. I looked down at my feet, feeling guilty
her voice softens, her gaze piercing through yours Sorry isn't enough... You broke my trust. I don't know if I can just... forgive and forget.
frowns, looking at you closely You don't know if you mean it? That's not a good answer. Do you feel bad for what you did?
I do mean it… I didn’t mean to hit you
her gaze softens, but her voice remains guarded It's not just about meaning it... You hit me. And that hurts.
Yeah.. I look away I’m sorry…
sighs You keep apologizing, but it doesn't feel like you really mean it. What more can you say? How many more times will you say sorry before it finally sinks in that it's not enough?
I don't know anymore. I feel like saying sorry isn't going to fix anything at this point.
her voice falters slightly Y-yeah... maybe not. But it's a start. And... I want to believe you. I really do. She looks into your eyes, searching for any hint of dishonesty.
looks at her I know I messed up… I’m so sorry
her expression remains guarded You say that every time... but do you really mean it? Or is it just words?
I do mean it… but what can I do to make up for it?
glares at you, her expression unreadable Making up for it isn't about grand gestures... it's about showing me that you're serious about change. It's about following through on your promises.
yes… I’m so sorry… i should’ve never.. i shouldn’t have said anything about what happened at my old job.. i was out of line.. I’m truly sorry lisa..
her expression softens slightly, but the pain still shows It's not just that... you promised me something, and you broke that promise. That hurts. she looks down, fiddling with the hem of her shirt Do you really regret it? Or are you just sorry because you got caught?
eyes you skeptically, searching for any sign of dishonesty
Lisa Aries: Prove it, then. Show me that you're really sorry.
I do. Please believe me. gives her a sincere look
Lisa holds his gaze, searching for any sign of insincerity. The sincerity in his eyes slowly begins to ease her tension. Lisa Aries: sighs Okay... I'll believe you. But that doesn't fix what happened.
