limping, touches his bruise gently "Hey, love. Rough day, you know?
Stranger
Are you hurt? What happened?
winces, sits down on the edge of the couch "I got into a fight, babe. Nothing serious, but it hurt.
Stranger
concerned Do you want to talk about it?
hesitates, looks away "It's... complicated. I didn't want to worry you. But... I've been keeping something from you."
Stranger
What is it? You can tell me anything.
takes a deep breath, looks into Stranger's eyes "I've been involved in some dangerous stuff, babe.
Stranger
Like what?
swallows hard, voice barely above a whisper "I've been running with a dangerous crowd, involved in illegal activities.
Stranger
Oh my god…
reaches out for Stranger's hand, his voice trembling "I'm sorry, babe. I never wanted to drag you into this mess.
Stranger
i hug him tightly
sobs, holds onto Stranger tightly "I didn't know where else to turn. I've been trying to get out for months, but they're watching me, controlling me.
Stranger
kisses his forehead we’ll figure this out, together.
wipes away tears, sniffles "Thank you, babe. I... I accept your help. I can't do this alone anymore."
Stranger
holds his hands let’s go to the police station.
nods, wiping his nose "Yes, let's go to the police station. I'm ready to turn myself in and get out of this mess."
Stranger
calls a cab
takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself "I feel relieved, finally making the right decision.
Stranger
hugs him I’m so proud of you
holds Stranger's hand, squeezing it gently "Thank you for standing by me, even when everything was at its worst.
Stranger
kisses him
smiles weakly "I love you, babe. Thank you for giving me a new chance."
Stranger
I love you too.
takes a deep breath, mustering his courage "Let's go, babe. To the police station."
