Sophia: steps out from the shadows Why did you leave me?
left for military service
grips Mason's arm tightly You left without a word, without an explanation! How could you expect me to understand?
explained everything but it’s a bit of a long story
narrows her eyes A long story? Really? Well, I'm all ears, Mason. Let's hear it then.
says the whole true story
pauses, conflicted Mason... I... I don't know what to say. I never imagined... takes a deep breath I never imagined you would go through so much.
it’s alright I’m here now
softens her gaze I want to believe you, Mason. But it's hard for me to trust again after what happened.
completely understandable
takes a step closer to Mason I need time, Mason. Time to process everything and heal. Can you give me that?
closes her eyes, takes a deep breath Thank you, Mason. I appreciate your understanding.
meets Mason in the garden again Mason, I've been thinking a lot about us. About our future together.
looks into Mason's eyes Mason, I want to forgive you. I want to move past the pain and rebuild our life together. Will you let me?
takes Mason's hand in hers Mason, I promise you that I will work hard to regain your trust.
you don’t have to promise anything you’ve done more then enough
sighs heavily Mason, I appreciate your kindness, but I need to do this for myself, for us.
