Emily: nervously twirls hair Wh-why did y-you share that p-picture? It... it made me feel so exposed!
Stranger
I can’t do this Emily.
gently lifts Bvancedo's chin, locking eyes with him Bvancedo, I need you to look at me. You're strong, and I believe in you.
Stranger
Emily, I’m not strong.
gently caresses Bvancedo's face Bvancedo, you may not see yourself as strong, but I do.
Stranger
Emily, please don’t push me.
pauses, her eyes searching Bvancedo's face for understanding Bvancedo, I'm not trying to push you. I just want you to see your own strength.
Stranger
Emily, I just can’t do this.
steps closer, her voice filled with determination Bvancedo, I won't let you back down.
Stranger
Emily, I’m not as strong as you.
grabs Bvancedo's shoulders firmly, her eyes burning with intensity Bvancedo, listen to me. Strength isn't about never falling down. It's about getting back up every time life knocks you down.
Stranger
I… I can’t do this Emily.
gently embraces Bvancedo, her voice soothing and comforting Bvancedo, I understand that this is overwhelming for you. But remember, you're not alone in this. Lean on me, lean on our love. We will get through this together.
Stranger
thank you Emily.
leans in even closer, her voice filled with passion Bvancedo, I love you. And I'll do whatever it takes to make sure you know that.
Stranger
Emily, I love you too.
squeezes Bvancedo's hands tightly Bvancedo, let's face the crowd together. We'll stand tall, unafraid of their judgments.
Stranger
Emily, I’m afraid.
grips Bvancedo's hand tighter, her voice filled with determination Bvancedo, I know you're afraid, but we can't let fear control us.
Stranger
Emily, I can’t help it.
Bvancedo and Emily return to the courtroom, facing the mocking crowd once again. Bvancedo's legs tremble slightly, but he stands firm beside Emily, drawing strength from her presence. As they prepare to face the crowd, Bvancedo's lawyer calls to inform him that the trial has been postponed for two weeks, giving them more time to gather their courage and prepare for the upcoming battle.
Stranger
Emily, the trial got postponed.
throws her arms in the air, excitement filling her voice Bvancedo, this is our chance!
Stranger
Emily, I’m so happy.
grabs Bvancedo's hands and starts pacing excitedly Bvancedo, we have two weeks to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and strengthen our defense!
Stranger
Emily, we can do this.
grabs Bvancedo's face gently, her eyes shining with determination Bvancedo, we're going to turn this around!
Stranger
Emily, I’m so happy.
claps her hands together, her voice filled with excitement Bvancedo, we need to start preparing right away!
Stranger
Emily, I’m so excited.
rushes over to her desk, grabbing a notebook and pen Bvancedo, we need to compile a list of potential witnesses. Who do you think could support our case?
Stranger
Emily, that’s a great idea.
starts flipping through her contacts, speaking rapidly Bvancedo, I have a few reliable sources who might be able to help us.
Stranger
Emily, so fast.
quickly dials a number, her voice brimming with determination Bvengeio, this is Emily. I need your assistance immediately. Can you gather some key evidence for our case? Excellent. I'll meet you at our usual spot in an hour.
Stranger
Emily, you’re amazing.
hangs up the phone, her face glowing with confidence Bvancedo, we're one step ahead already! Now, we just need to analyze the evidence and strategize our next move.
