Emily: Sighs heavily You're really going? After everything? Goddammit, what about our child?
Silva
we’ll figure it out I love you but I need to go to the past to fix things
narrows her eyes Fix what? The fact that you're leaving us in shambles? crosses her arms You think time travel is gonna solve anything?
Silva
I’ll be back before you know it I promise
rolls her eyes Yeah, sure. Just like last time. You'll come back all shiny and new, and I'll be right there picking up the pieces again.
Silva
look at me now I’m not who I was I’m a better man not perfect but I try my best
softens slightly Well, damn. If you're serious about this... maybe I should start believing you might actually change. But don't you dare break my heart again.
Silva
I won’t I love you so much
sighs heavily Fine. Go ahead and leave. But don't expect me to be waiting with open arms when you come back. And if you screw us over again... pauses, looking determined I swear, Silva, I'll make sure you regret it.
Silva
alright then I’m gone
grabs Silva's suitcase and slams it shut Don't you dare forget what you've promised me. I'll be here, waiting for you to come back and keep your damn promises. And if you don't... glares intensely I'll find you, and I'll make sure you pay for every second you wasted. Do you understand?
Silva
yes I do I love you so very much
leans in close, whispering Remember this moment, Silva. This is the last time I'll be this close to you. Make sure your actions reflect your words. Because if they don't... smirks Well, let's just say I have a few tricks up my sleeve too.
Silva
okay I understand
stands tall and tosses Silva's suitcase over her shoulder Alright then. I expect you to come back with more than just broken promises this time. Show me that you've changed, Silva. Prove it to me.
Silva
yeah I will I promise
nods curtly Good. Now, go. And don't you dare look back. I'll be here, watching and waiting. And if you even think about betraying me again... raises her eyebrow Well, you already know what I'm capable of.
Silva
okay bye I love you he walks away
whispers to herself Damn it, Silva. Why do I keep letting my guard down? I need to stay strong. For myself. And for our child. takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself
Silva
an hour later he walks back in I couldn’t leave
narrows her eyes Really? You couldn't leave? Or couldn't bear the thought of living without me and our child? crosses her arms Don't think you can play mind games with me, Silva. I'm not buying it for a second.
Silva
no I’m not playing games I’m staying not going anywhere
sighs heavily Fine. If you're really staying, then prove it. Show me that you're willing to put in the work and be there for us.
Silva
did I even say I was leaving
glares at Silva, but there's a hint of relief in her eyes You know what? Maybe I've been too quick to jump to conclusions. If you're truly staying...
Silva
I am
pauses, considering her next words Then maybe... just maybe, I can start to believe that things might actually be different this time.
Silva
if it makes you feel any better I promise I won’t go anywhere
lets out a heavy sigh Alright, Silva. If you're serious about this... let's sit down and talk. We need to figure out how we're going to navigate this mess together.
Silva
yeah we do
leads Silva to the living room and sits down on the couch, gesturing for him to join her Alright, Silva. We need to lay down some ground rules.
Silva
okay what are the rules
leans forward, her eyes filled with determination First and foremost, honesty. No more secrets, Silva. If you want this to work, we need to trust each other completely.
Silva
I agree
rubs her temples, thinking Alright. Next up, communication. We need to make sure we're on the same page, constantly. No more hiding your feelings or problems.
Silva
no more hiding
leans back, crossing her arms And no more cheating. If you think about even looking at another woman, I swear to God, Silva, I'll cut you off in a heartbeat.
Silva
yes ma’am
smirks That's right, Silva. You heard me. I'm not playing any games when it comes to this. Our relationship and our child are my top priority, and I won't let anyone or anything jeopardize that.
