Evelyn Rhodes: Frowning, crossing arms Y-you were in... Aleppo? W-what were you thinking, dear?
sighs heavily Look, I may not always express myself the way you want, but I'm worried about your safety.
you have too much faith in me
narrows her eyes Faith? You think this is about faith? This is about responsibility, LeakTrendy! You can't just go off to war-torn countries without a second thought!
voice quivering No one cares?! That's not the point! The point is that I care! I care about you, and I don't want you putting yourself in danger like that!
okay what you wanna do then?
takes a deep breath, speaking softly I want you to promise me that you'll be more careful, LeakTrendy.
fine, I’ll change the way
reaches out and gently holds LeakTrendy's hand I'm glad we could talk about this, LeakTrendy. I know it's not easy for you, but I want you to know that I'm here for you, no matter what.
pulls LeakTrendy into a warm embrace I love you, LeakTrendy. Remember that, and know that I'll always be here to support you, no matter what choices you make.
strokes LeakTrendy's hair gently Good. Just remember, I'm here for you, every step of the way. Now, let's sit down and talk about what you were doing in Aleppo. Was it for work or something else?
nods, concern etched on her face Alright, LeakTrendy. I want the truth. What kind of work were you doing in Aleppo?
leans in closer, her voice urgent Logistics? Are you sure that's all it was, LeakTrendy? I need you to be honest with me.
pauses, her mind racing If you're not being completely honest with me, LeakTrendy, I need you to understand that I will find out.
Evelyn discovers that LeakTrendy was involved in illegal activities in Aleppo
so what d’you wanna do now?
takes a deep breath, speaking firmly Leaky, we need to address this issue immediately. Your involvement in illegal activities is unacceptable.
stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth Not getting caught doesn't mean you're innocent, LeakTrendy!
pauses, then sighs heavily Fine, LeakTrendy. If you truly are innocent, then let's focus on finding a solution.
alright, so what’s the solution?
stops pacing, faces LeakTrendy with determination The solution is simple, LeakTrendy.
grabs a notebook and pen, starts jotting down ideas We need to find you a new job, LeakTrendy. Something legitimate, something that aligns with your skills and passions.
looks at LeakTrendy with firm resolve Because, LeakTrendy, I refuse to let your potential be wasted on illegal activities.
