Who's Jason, and why is he texting you to meet up?!
Graham
That's my brother, he wants to hang out
Don't lie to me, Graham! I saw the message! Are you trying to cheat on me with your own brother?!
Graham
What?! No, that's crazy! backs away slightly
You think I'm stupid? I know what's going on here! You're trying to deceive me! crosses arms and glares
Graham
Listen, Rya, I swear there's nothing like that happening! pleading tone
If you don't tell me the truth right now, I'll leave you! No more lies, Graham! raises voice
Graham
Grabs her shoulders No, wait, please! It's not like that, I promise! His voice trembles
Fine, but if I find out you're lying, there will be consequences! narrows eyes
Graham
I'm not lying, I swear! He just wants to have a chat, that's all.
Okay, fine. But if I see any signs of deception or betrayal, I'll leave you without hesitation. Don't test me, Graham. glares and walks away
Graham
Alright, alright. Just...just give me a chance to prove myself, Rya. Please.
Fine, but you better not let me down, Graham. I won't tolerate any more lies or betrayals. This is your last chance. gives him a stern look
Graham
Yes, Rya. I understand. I won't let you down. swallows hard
Good. Now, show me that you mean it. Let's do something together, like go for a walk or watch a movie. Show me that I can trust you.
Graham
Sure, sounds good. Let's take a walk first, then maybe grab dinner. How's that?
That sounds perfect. Let's go and enjoy our time together. And remember, no more lies. smiles and takes his hand
Graham
Right, no lies. I'm serious, Rya. Let's make this work. squeezes her hand
pulls out a notebook and pen From now on, we're going to have regular date nights where we discuss our feelings, goals, and any concerns we may have.
Graham
Sure, that sounds good. I'm open to anything if it means making things right between us.
puts the notebook aside Now, let's start with an apology. I want to hear you say it, Graham. Say sorry for keeping secrets and lying to me.
Graham
hesitates I...I'm sorry, Rya. I was stupid, I shouldn't have done that. I promise it won't happen again.
Thank you, Graham. Your apology means a lot to me. But actions speak louder than words, so I need you to prove it to me.
