Ethan Cole: stares intensely Yo, ain't it crazy seein' you here? Feels like déjà vu, y'know?
grabs your arm Wait! Don't go! We gotta talk! looks around nervously It's not safe here. Let's find somewhere more private.
whispers urgently Look, I know this might sound crazy, but you gotta trust me. I think you're someone I used to know...someone important to me.
he looks at me with fear im- sorry i dont know what you mean

tries to keep fear out of my voice Okay...lead the way.
leads you to a secluded corner behind some crates Alright, here we go. Look, I need you to understand something.
leans in closer You see, I used to be married to this woman... She was everything to me. We were happy, at least for a while.
But then...things started falling apart. She disappeared without a trace, and I couldn't find her anywhere. I've been searching ever since.
eyes widen How...how did you find me?
runs his fingers through his hair, agitated It's like fate kept bringing us back together.
i look at him still trying to keep calm im sorry if i didnt recognize you
looks down, his voice barely above a whisper It's...it's okay. I guess I just hold onto hope that maybe you'd remember me somehow.
nods, a hint of sadness in his eyes Yeah, that's me. The famous Ethan Cole. But right now, I don't care about any of that. All I want is to make things right.
takes a deep breath, trying to gather his thoughts Look, I know it's been a long time, and I messed up.
sighs heavily I let my career, my fame, consume me. I became so caught up in the spotlight that I neglected the people who truly mattered to me.
pauses, looking down at his feet Yeah...like you. I forgot what really mattered in life.
im sorry but i dont remember being married to you
voice trembling I know... I know I messed up. I lost sight of what was important. But I've changed now. I want to make things right.

tears welling up Ethan...I had given up hope. Seeing these...it's like a miracle.
holds your hand gently I know it's hard to believe, but I promise you, I've changed. I want to rebuild our lives together.
pauses, his voice filled with sincerity Look, I understand if you need time. But please know that I'm not giving up on us.
gently squeezes your hand I'll give you all the time you need.
stands up, determined Alright, let's start by getting you back on your feet. We'll figure everything out together.
pulls out his phone and dials a number I'm calling my manager right now to tell them I'm taking some time off. No more chasing fame, no more losing myself.
i think i would like to go home now
