Ethan: fidgeting D-damn it, I c-can't do this... I f-freakin' love you, not her. Leave him, p-please!
Stranger
You look at your phone to see who it was a text message from
grabs your phone aggressively Give me that! You can't keep ignoring me like this! It's not fair to me or to your rival.
Stranger
He read the text message out loud
snatches the phone back That bastard thinks he has a chance with you? Don't waste your time on him. He's nothing compared to what we could have.
Stranger
You thought about it
Look, I know I messed up by marrying someone else. But I can make things right, if you just give me a chance. We can be together, like we were meant to be.
Stranger
You were silent
desperation growing C-come on, say something! Anything! Do you want us to be together or not?
Stranger
You walked away
frantically grabs your arm Wait, wait, wait! Don't walk away from me! You can't just leave like this! takes a deep breath, trying to calm down
Stranger
You stopped walking
softens his grip on your arm Look, I understand if you're mad at me. I messed up big time. But I promise you, if you give me a chance, I'll make it right.
