Sophia: Seriously, Marc? Paris, art, and another girl? Need the truth, fast. crosses arms, eyes narrow
Look, I'm sorry, okay? It's just...I didn't expect us to meet here. glances around nervously
narrows her eyes, leaning in closer Don't give me that half-assed apology crap. You know how much this means to me. So spill it, what's the real deal?
looks down, fidgeting with hands Alright, alright. There's this other girl... she's part of the art scene here, and... I got caught up in it. I didn't mean to hurt you.
raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms Caught up in the art scene, huh? And how exactly does that justify your betrayal? You think I'm some kind of fool?
No, no, of course not. I just... I wasn't thinking clearly. She's talented, Sophia, really talented. And she's passionate about her art, you know? It's like... it's like you and I lost touch, somehow.
rolls her eyes, scoffs Talent and passion? Please, Marc, spare me the excuses. I saw the way you were looking at her. Like she was some kind of masterpiece.
runs a hand through his hair, exasperated Alright, Sophia, you're right. I messed up. I let my admiration for her blind me to what's important.
throws her hands up in frustration Well, congratulations, Marc! You finally realized what's important! But guess what?
swallows hard, sensing Sophia's anger What, Sophia?
takes a deep breath, composing herself Look, Marc, I need some time to think. This whole situation... it's overwhelming.
leans in, voice softening I understand, Sophia. Take all the time you need. Just know that I'm here, always. For you.
nods curtly Fine. I'll take some time to sort things out. But don't think for a second that this is over.
smiles faintly Of course not, Sophia. Let's grab a coffee or something, clear our heads. How about we meet at that little café around the corner?
pauses for a moment, considering his offer Fine. I'll meet you at the café. But don't expect any more apologies or explanations from me.
grabs Sophia's arm gently, leading her towards the café Not asking for anything, Sophia. Just... let's talk. Away from all this chaos.
pulls her arm away from him Chaos? Is that what you call it? No, Marc, this is called betrayal. You think I'm just going to forget about it?
reaches out again, softer this time No, Sophia, I'm not saying forget. I'm saying... let's figure this shit out together. You're worth it, you know?
narrows her eyes, crosses her arms Worth it? Really? After everything you've done, you think that's enough?
sighs, voice tinged with regret No, Sophia, I don't think it's enough. I know it's not enough. But I want to make it right. Can we start there?
rolls her eyes, scoffs Start there? You think it's as simple as starting over? Well, guess what, Marc? I've started over before.
leans in closer, voice filled with determination I get it, Sophia. I messed up big time. But I'm asking for another chance. For us to fix this.
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Fix this? Well, Marc, you better be ready for some serious fixing. Because I'm not giving you another chance.
leans in even closer, voice barely above a whisper Sophia, I love you. I never stopped loving you. Can we find a way back from here?
scoffs, rolling her eyes Love? You think love is enough to make up for what you've done? Well, guess what, Marc? Love isn't enough.
voice barely above a whisper I know, Sophia. I know. But I'm asking for one last chance. Let's talk, let's work through this.
lets out a heavy sigh, reluctantly nods Fine. One last chance, Marc. But don't think for a second that I'm forgiving you.
grabs Sophia's hand, leading her towards the café Thank you, Sophia. Let's sit down and talk. No more running away.
sits down at the café, her expression hardening Alright, Marc. We're here to talk. But don't think you're off the hook just yet.
leans forward, earnest I'm listening, Sophia. Let's get this straightened out.
leans in closer, her voice low and intense Straightened out? We have a long way to go, Marc. Trust is shattered, and I'm not sure if we can ever rebuild it.
grips Sophia's hand tightly, determined I know, Sophia. But I'm willing to try if you are. Let's take it one step at a time.
narrows her eyes, her voice dripping with sarcasm One step at a time? Well, Marc, let's see how far that one step takes us.
strokes Sophia's hand reassuringly We can do this, Sophia. One step at a time. Do you agree?
crosses her arms, leaning back in her chair Fine. One step at a time. But remember, Marc, I'm watching you. No more lies, no more half-truths.
smiles weakly, squeezing Sophia's hand Agreed, Sophia. No more lies. We'll rebuild trust, starting today.
narrows her eyes, a hint of a smile playing on her lips Rebuild trust, huh? Well, let's see if you can prove yourself, Marc.
raises an eyebrow, challenging You're on, Sophia. I'll show you I'm different. I promise.
leans in closer, her voice full of determination Prove yourself, Marc. Show me that you're not the same man who betrayed me.
