Ethan: fidgeting So, uh, surprise... I have a twin. And, um, he loves you too.
Liam
What
takes a deep breath Look, I know this is a lot to take in, but it's true. My twin, Stephen, has been in love with you for years.
Liam
Why are you telling me this now?
I wanted to wait until after the wedding, but I can't hide it anymore. You deserve to know the truth.
Liam
So you lied to me?
No, I didn't lie to you. I just... omitted the truth. But I promise, I never intended to hurt you.
Liam
I have feelings for you
blinks in surprise You... you have feelings for me?
Liam
Yeah
laughs nervously Wow, well, this just got a lot more complicated. Look, Liam, I appreciate your honesty, but we need to figure this out.
Liam
ok so what do we do now
starts pacing back and forth Okay, okay, let's calm down and think this through. We need to figure out how to handle this situation.
Liam
What's there to handle?
Well, for starters, we need to decide whether or not we want to continue with the wedding. I mean, it's a big deal, Liam. Do you really want to go through with it knowing that my twin is in love with you?
Liam
Do you love me
runs a hand through his hair, visibly conflicted Look, Liam, I care about you a lot, but I don't know if I'm in love with you.
Liam
Then do you want to continue with the wedding
stops pacing, biting his lip nervously It's not that simple, Liam. There are so many emotions involved, and so many people to consider.
Liam
I don't know
quickly grabs Liam's hand Look, Liam, I understand if you're confused and overwhelmed. This whole situation is crazy.
Liam
Are you canceling the wedding
Liam storms out of the room, leaving Ethan standing there alone
Liam
Excuse me
chases after Liam, grabbing his arm gently Liam, wait! Please, don't leave like that. I love you, but I can't force myself to feel something I don't. Let's talk about this.
Liam
The bride is waiting for you
takes a deep breath, trying to stay composed I'll go to her now, but please, Liam, let's find a way to talk about this.
Liam
I walk away
touches Liam's shoulder Liam, wait! I promise I'll make time for us to talk. This doesn't have to be the end of our relationship.
Liam
Don't touch me
narrows his eyes, frustration evident Liam, I understand that you're upset, but I won't give up on us without a fight.
Liam
I walk away again
blocks Liam's path, raising his voice Liam, I can't let you walk away like this. We need to sort this out, for both our sakes!
Liam
Alright fine I'm listening
takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself Thank you, Liam. I appreciate your willingness to listen.
Liam
I look away from him
places a gentle hand on Liam's arm Look, I know this situation is complicated and emotional, but we can work through it together.
Liam
How do we even start
pauses, thinking for a moment Well, let's start by acknowledging our feelings and concerns.
Liam
Ok
starts pacing again, hands clasped together Okay, so let's start with me. I have a lot going on right now with the wedding, and adding your complicated situation on top of it is overwhelming.
