pauses, considering Shoffme's request Look, Shoffme, I understand that you might have second thoughts, but I can't just let you back into our lives.
I understand and can you please leave me alone for a minute

I wanted to tell you that you look beautiful today

no I just came to say that to you because I felt you needed to hear that from me before you go out stage
narrows her eyes, suspiciously Is that really all there is to it, Shoffme? Or are you just trying to manipulate me, hoping I'll let you back into my life?
I want to be a father I don’t want you to leave me alone I love you so much
crosses her arms and looks at Shoffme with a mixture of hurt and anger Love? Do you even understand what love means anymore?
yes I do I used to love someone who looked like you and I still do but they are gone
takes a deep breath, tears welling up in her eyes Shoffme, I understand that you loved someone else and that they're gone now. But I'm not them.
I know I’m not asking you to love me like you did them I just want to be a father to our baby
softens her expression, looking at Shoffme with empathy Look, Shoffme, I can't promise that I'll ever love you the way I loved someone else.

I start to make your hair into a ponytail
As Shoffme styles Rihanna's hair, they begin to reconnect and rekindle their bond, slowly mending their broken relationship.
you know I use to do this for you when you where with me
smiles warmly, looking at Shoffme Yeah, I remember. Those were simpler times, weren't they? Back when we were just two people in love, without all the complications.
yea that’s when I was going to propose to you
tears well up in her eyes, her voice trembling Shoffme, I had no idea... I had no idea you were planning to propose.
I had the ring and everything set up I thought it would be perfect for you

I just wanted it to be special for you
