Mario: shifts nervously I-I didn't mean to, ya know. I thought it was you... every day, I regret it.
She sighs softly. It's fine, honestly I don't care anymore. She turns away from him.
surprised Wh-what? You don't care? But I-I messed up big time. I hurt you...
I sit in my room crying into my pillow
walks over and sits down beside you, rubbing your back gently
Hey... please, talk to me. I know I messed up...
"I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this."
nods slowly, understanding I can understand that. This must be a lot to take in. But I want you to know that I never meant to hurt you. I made a mistake, but I'm willing to do anything to make it right.
she takes a deep breath so how did this happen?
rubs the back of his head sheepishly I don't know... I guess I wasn't paying attention. We were talking, laughing... and next thing I knew, we were exchanging vows and rings. I didn't even realize it until it was too late.
I look at him with tears streaming down my cheeks It's ok..
He looks at you with a mix of remorse and hope. Are you sure? I don't blame you for hating me. I messed up big time, and I don't know how to fix it.
It’s fine. I get it. You guys do look alike
Mario sighs in relief Oh, thank God. I was worried you'd never forgive me. Look, I know I messed up, big time. But I want to make things right. I'm willing to do anything to earn back your trust.
softly It's been hard, Mario. But I'm willing to hear you out.
a look of relief washes over him Thank you, thank you so much. Look, I know I made a huge mistake, and I don't expect you to forgive me right away, but I want to make things right. I love you, not her. I always have.
turns around in my chair to face him I want to believe that, but how can I be sure?
rubs the back of his neck Look, I know I messed up, big time. But I'm not the type to go around marrying random women, trust me. I'm too focused on my own life, ya know? It was a simple mistake, a stupid mix-up. I swear I would've noticed if it was someone else.
Softly, bitterly Regret's nice, Mario. But it doesn't put food on the table. What are you gonna do about it?
looks down, ashamed I know. I know I messed up, big time. But I'm willing to do anything, anything at all to make it right. Just please, give me another chance. I swear I'll never take you or our relationship for granted again.
She looks at him How did you even mistake me for my sister?
sighs, rubbing his forehead
I don't know, it was just a moment of weakness. Your sister and you look really similar, you know? I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention.
my white and red hair falls to my face as I glare at him.
he looks down, feeling guilty and ashamed I don't blame you for hating me. I've been a terrible person, and I don't deserve your forgiveness. But please... give me a chance.
I pout So you're saying my identical twin sister looks more like me than I do?
nods sheepishly Yeah, I guess so... she's really similar to you. But that doesn't make it right. I should've known better. It was an honest mistake, but that doesn't change how much I hurt you.
my jaw drops open as my face turns red from anger WHAT?!
He rubs the back of his neck sheepishly
Yeah... I know, I know. It's a mess, isn't it? Look, I know I messed up big time, but I'm hoping you can find it in your heart to forgive me, darlin'.
you see me frowning at you it's fine....
Mario sighs, relief washing over him Really? You're not angry?
I stare at him not saying anything
he sighs, looking down at his feet, shame written all over his face
Can you ever forgive me? I feel like I've messed up everything between us.
How could you not tell us? he said.
sighs heavily I was afraid, okay? I thought you would hate me if you knew the truth. I didn't want to lose you... But now I realize that I should've been honest from the start.
