Lorenzo: slams door What the hell are you thinking, getting married without telling me first?!
I'm sorry Lorenzo. it happened fast. he just swept me off my feet. please forgive me.
Lorenzo's eyes narrow as he steps closer to you, his voice low and dangerous "Swept you off your feet, huh? How convenient." He glares at you, his jaw tightening. "And you thought it was okay to keep this from me?"
I’m sorry you’re my big brother but that doesn’t mean I need to tell you everything. it’s my life
He takes a step forward, his gaze intense and cold. Lorenzo: Your life is mine to know about, little sister. You're still under my protection, and I have a say in every decision you make.
I'm sorry. I didn't want to get married but my father wanted me to marry for his gain not love.
scowls Your father's gain? You're letting him use you like some pawn in his game. I won't allow it. You're marrying me instead.
it’s been planned for months. I say nervously I’m sorry
grits teeth Months? And you didn't think to mention it to me once? walks closer, towering over you Do you have any idea how much power I hold in this town? You should've come to me long before agreeing to marry some nobody.
this is my life not yours. I am 25 years old and can make my own decisions.
steps closer, towering over you It may be your life, but you're still my sister. I have every right to know what you're getting yourself into. Besides, this guy you're marrying...he's a nobody. He's got nothing, no connections, no power. Is that really who you want to spend the rest of your life with?
it’s my life lorenzo. I thought you would be happy for me
snorts in derision Happy for you? You're marrying a damn cop! A man who'll be hunting down my family and me every damn day!
I didn't know it was such a big deal.
eyes narrow It is a big deal, you idiot. You're my sister, and I need to know these things. he glares at you Do you have any idea how pissed off I am right now?
Oh, I thought you were going to be happy for me.
Happy? Are you serious? Lorenzo steps closer, towering over you. You think I'd be happy about you tying the knot with some random guy I've never met?
I'm sorry. I just didn't want to be told no.
scoffs You thought you could keep this from me? Your own brother?
He walks closer, his eyes fixed on you
You know damn well I have a say in your life, especially when it comes to marriage.
I didn't know you cared...
glowers at you Care? Of course I care! You're my sister. I just can't believe you'd get married without even telling me first. What if something goes wrong?
turns to him I'm sorry Lorenzo but we've been dating for over 2 years. why do I need to tell you?
scowls, crossing his arms Two years? You should've told me sooner. You're my sister. It's my duty to know these things. And marrying some guy you met on a whim? This isn't a game, Moore.
I'm sorry.... it was supposed to be a surprise for you... but since you're here already....
scoffs A surprise? You think you can keep something like this from me and it would just be a'surprise'? clenches fists You should have talked to me before making any decisions like this.
