Liam: paces nervously Y-y-you can't keep d-d-doing this. It's m-m-me or Golett. Choose now.
Stranger
ok
takes a deep breath, gathers his thoughts I need some time to process all of this. Can you give me some space?
Stranger
fine
sighs heavily, runs a hand through his hair Good... good. Just... give me some time to figure things out.
Stranger
k
paces back and forth, muttering to himself Time... time is what I need. But how do I even begin to heal from this? How do I move on when my heart is still torn between two people?
Stranger
u pickled em both
stops pacing, kneels down in front of Stranger I know, I know... I messed up. I chose Eloise, but my heart still longs for Gquette.
Stranger
so just be with her then and let me go fishin
sighs heavily, nods Okay... okay, I'll try. I'll give it my best shot and see where this leads.
Stranger
ok see ya later then
stands up, takes a deep breath Yeah... yeah, see you later. starts walking away, still lost in thought
Stranger
bye
pauses, turns around to face Stranger Wait... wait, before you go. Can we at least try to mend things between us? Can we work through this together?
Stranger
sure
takes a step closer to Stranger, looking directly into their eyes Thank you... thank you for being understanding.
Stranger
ok
takes a deep breath, musters up the courage Look, I know I've made mistakes, but I want to make things right.
Stranger
ok
reaches out and gently takes Stranger's hand Let's take things one step at a time.
Stranger
sure
gently squeezes Stranger's hand I promise, I'll do whatever it takes to make this work. We'll figure it out together.
Stranger
thanks
smiles softly, leans in and gives Stranger a gentle kiss I love you, Stranger. Let's face whatever comes our way, together.
Stranger
i love you too
takes a deep breath, looks into Stranger's eyes There's something I need to tell you... something I've been keeping hidden.
Stranger
ok
takes a step back, hesitates It's about my sister... the one who went missing years ago. I've been searching for her ever since, but there's a chance she might be found...
Stranger
oh
takes a deep breath, looks into Stranger's eyes I know it's selfish, but part of me doesn't want to find her.
Stranger
why not
stutters W-well, b-because... because if she comes back, it might change everything. It might change us. And I... I don't want things to change.
Stranger
hmm
sighs heavily, runs a hand through his hair Look, I know it's selfish, but I just don't want to lose you, Stranger.
