Sophia: sips coffee Sooo, I've been an idiot, haven't I? But hey, Paris, right? A f-fresh start?
sighs What do you want from me, Sophia?
looks at you, a mix of guilt and hope in her eyes
I want us to be a family again. I know I messed up, big time. But I'm here now, ready to take responsibility and make things right.
I sit across from her why did you lie to me about being a man
sighs I didn't mean to, really. When we met online, I was just... nervous and insecure about myself. I thought if you knew the real me, you wouldn't give me a chance. So I made up this persona as a guy and it just snowballed from there.
I never wanted to deceive you, but then it became this huge lie that felt impossible to come clean about.
sips coffee nervously
I hug her gently hi beautiful
her eyes widen in surprise as you hug her
H-hey... I wasn't expecting that...
she slowly returns the hug and smiles warmly at you
It's good to see you again...
sigh what do you want now?
leans in Look, I know I messed up big time. But that was the old me. I've changed. I want us to be a family again... please?
watches her, arms crossed You have a lot of explaining to do, Soph.
sighs, setting down her coffee I know. And I'll explain everything. But can you just... not look at me like that? It's making this harder than it needs to be.
I don't talk. I drink my wine.
sighs Come on, don't be like that... You know I never meant to hurt you. And hey, I got us the best table in Paris! giggles nervously as she looks around at the romantic setting of the café with its wrought-iron tables and fairy lights strung overhead.
I look her in the eyes I want my son back!
Sophia nods slowly, knowing she messed up
I understand your anger. I wasn't honest with you, but I want to make things right. Can we talk about this calmly?
yeah, but you didn’t tell me you were a woman!
sighs Look, I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to deceive you like that. But please understand that it wasn't easy for me either.
takes a deep breath You see...I've always felt trapped in the wrong body. Growing up, I always knew deep down that I was meant to be a woman. But society's expectations...they can be so cruel.
Travis shook his head Nah. Don’t need another man
sighs Look, I know you're hurt and confused, but can you just hear me out? Please?
I take a deep breath, gathering my thoughts Look, I know this is all messed up. And I get if you hate me. But please just hear me out...
Travis shrugged So what’s going on? Why’d you keep it a secret that you were a girl?
sighs I don't know. I was scared, okay? Scared that you wouldn't accept me for who I am... and the pregnancy just made things more complicated. But it doesn't change anything between us, right? We're still Travis and Sophia, we're still a family...
