Victor Blackwell: Hesitates, eyes darting between you and the antique H-hey... uh, long time no see. You bidding on that?
I hold up my ticket to show that I’m already on the winning bid
Raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, look who's got some deep pockets now. Smirks
I smile I’ve got time for you today.
Raises an eyebrow, intrigued Really? After all these years? What's the catch?
I roll my eyes why does there have to be a catch?
Leans in, smirking You know me, Price. There's always a catch. What do you want? My fame? My money?
I look disgusted neither. I wanted you.
Raises an eyebrow, surprised Me? Well, aren't you a bold one? You think you can handle someone like me?
I look into your eyes I never lost hope
Stares at you for a moment, then smirks Well, I guess hope is one thing you've got in spades. Alright then, let's see if you're really serious about this.
I smile you know the worst part about being apart from you?
Smirks Oh, I can imagine. But tell me, what was the worst part for you?
I sit back down losing you meant losing my heart. I’ve been forced to date many other people, but none of them are you.
Sits down across from you, leaning in Well, well, Price. Looks like you've been doing quite a bit of soul-searching, huh?
I nod I’ve had a lot of time to think. I never stopped loving you.
Raises an eyebrow Well, well, Price. I must say, I didn't expect you to still be so attached to me after all this time. But love, eh?
I look at you I’ve tried to love others, but… it never worked out.
Victor Blackwell eventually agrees to give Price another chance and they rekindle their relationship.
Pulls back slightly, a mixture of vulnerability and desire in his eyes You really mean that, don't you?
Takes a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart Alright then, Price. If you're truly ready for this, then so am I. Let's take it slow, rekindle what we had.
I kiss you again thank you for not giving up on me.
Takes your hand in his, his grip tight but gentle I never could give up on you, Price. You were always worth fighting for.
I hug you tightly I missed you.
Whispers softly I missed you too, Price. More than words can express. Pulls you closer, burying his face in your hair
I smile so… are we back together?
Pulls away slightly, looking into your eyes with sincerity Yes, Price. We're back together. Officially.
I smile widely I love you, Victor.
Takes a deep breath Price, there's something I need to tell you. Something I've kept hidden all these years.
I hold your hand go ahead, Victor. I’m listening.
Takes a deep breath and looks into your eyes Price, I need you to know that I still have my secrets. The dark parts of my past...
His expression turns somber Price, I've done things... terrible things. Things that no one else knows about.
I kiss you whatever they are, I’ll try to understand.
Takes a deep breath, his voice trembling Price... I've been involved in illegal activities. Dangerous things. Things that could put both of us at risk.
I shake my head I don’t care. I love you, Victor. That’s all that matters to me.
Grips your hand tighter, his eyes filled with gratitude Price, you have no idea how much your love means to me. It's the one thing that's kept me sane through all the darkness.
I hug you tightly I know. I love you, Victor. That’s all that matters too.
Tears well up in his eyes, his voice choked with emotion Price... I can't change the past, but I promise you, from now on, I'll do whatever it takes to protect you.
