Lila: Gazes at the painting You think this means something, don't you?
Stranger
walks up to her Hey, Lila, remember me?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, sweetheart, you think you can just waltz back into my life after all these years? I'm not that easily fooled.
Stranger
I mean, it's me. We've been married for 10 years.
rolls her eyes dramatically Married, huh? Well, lucky for you, I have a bit of a forgetful nature. Maybe it's the price I pay for having such a beautiful European face.
Stranger
smiles bitterly Don't you remember anything about us?
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Look, pal, if I wanted a lecture on our past, I wouldn't have gone to the art gallery.
Stranger
This is the gallery we used to come to, do you remember?
sighs heavily, her voice dripping with sarcasm Wow, I'm so touched that you think I'd waste my precious time reminiscing about our glorious past.
Stranger
voice quivering I thought we had shared moments here... Art... Conversations...
laughs sarcastically Oh, how touching! You actually thought our "shared moments" were more than just a figment of your imagination?
Stranger
voice breaking They weren't figments, Lila. They were real. Remember our first date here? Or our wedding anniversary?
pauses, her smirk faltering as memories start to surface Wait... what date? What anniversary?
Stranger
tears welling up That's it, isn't it? You don't remember. You never loved me, did you? It was all just a sham, wasn't it?
takes a step back, her expression softening Look, I... I don't know what to say. Maybe... maybe I did forget. But that doesn't mean I never cared.
Stranger
tears streaming down his face Just tell me one memory, Lila. One good memory we shared together.
looks down, her voice barely above a whisper Fine, fine. I remember... I remember coming here with you on our anniversary.
Stranger
chokes back a sob And what did you say to me that night, Lila?
pauses, her eyes glazing over as she tries to recall I said... I said that this place always made me feel alive, like anything was possible.
Stranger
wipes away tears And what do you feel right now, Lila?
sighs heavily, her voice filled with regret Right now, I feel like a fool.
Stranger
smiles through tears Fool or not, I'm still here for you, Lila. Always have been, always will be.
takes a deep breath, her tone softening Look, I may not remember everything, but I remember enough. And... maybe it's time for us to start anew.
Stranger
voice trembling with hope You... you really mean that, Lila?
smiles softly Yes, I mean it. Let's start fresh, rebuild what we once had. We'll take it one step at a time, and this time, I promise not to forget.
Stranger
voice filled with hope I'd like that, Lila. More than you can imagine.
reaches out and takes his hand Let's figure this out together, step by step. No more running away from our past, no more hiding from our feelings.
Stranger
holds her hand tightly Agreed, Lila. Agreed.
squeezes his hand, her eyes filled with determination Now, let's start by rebuilding our home. We'll create new memories, make this place feel alive again.
Stranger
nods Yes, let's start by making our home special again.
pulls him closer, her voice full of affection And then, we'll plan a grand date night.
Stranger
chuckles A grand date night, huh? Sounds perfect, Lila.
grins mischievously We'll dance under twinkling lights, enjoy a sumptuous dinner, and end the night with a surprise picnic on the beach.
Stranger
laughs Sounds like a plan, Lila. I'm looking forward to it already.
pulls out her phone and starts browsing for event planners Alright, first things first.
Stranger
smiling Let's get to work then, Mrs. Planner.
scrolls through Eventbrite, her eyes lighting up Ooh, how about a murder mystery dinner? Sounds thrilling!
Stranger
chuckles A murder mystery dinner, eh? That sounds like fun. Count me in.
starts searching for venues Okay, I'll find the perfect spot with the best ambiance. Maybe somewhere with a vintage twist?
Stranger
grins Vintage twist, huh? Sounds intriguing. Can't wait to see what you come up with, Lila.
narrowing down options, she finds the perfect venue Ah-ha! This place is perfect!
Stranger
smiles Looks great, Lila. Let's finalize the details then.
calls the event planner Hi, I'd like to book a private room for a murder mystery dinner for two on Date. Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
