tears in her eyes, voice shaky Shit, I-I didn't mean it. Please, come back.
Garza
turns around
rushes towards Garza, wrapping her arms around him tightly Please, don't leave me like this. I fucked up, I know. But I'll do anything to make it right.
Garza
pulls away from the embrace What did you mean by that?
takes a deep breath, looking into Garza's eyes Look, I didn't mean to hurt you. It was stupid and thoughtless of me. I was just...
Garza
...
voice trembling I was just so angry, Garza. I couldn't control myself. But I can't bear to see you hurt like this. I love you, Garza.
Garza
That doesn't excuse what you said. Are you sure you really meant it?
kneels down in front of Garza, tears streaming down her face I am so sorry, Garza. I never meant any of those words.
Garza
looks at you
grabs Garza's hand, placing a soft kiss on his palm I promise you, Garza, I will do whatever it takes to make it up to you.
Garza
Just... give me some space, alright? I need to think about this.
nods, wiping away her tears Okay, I understand. Take all the time you need. Just know that I'll be here, waiting to make things right.
Garza
walks away
watches Garza walk away, determined I won't let him slip away. I'll do whatever it takes to earn back his trust.
Garza
sees you watching me
marches up to Garza, determination in her eyes You think I'm just going to let you walk away like that? Not a chance.
Garza
Then tell me why you said that.
takes a deep breath, looking directly into Garza's eyes Because I was scared, Garza. Scared of losing you.
Garza
Do you really love me or did you just say that to get me back?
places a hand on Garza's chest, speaking softly Garza, I love you more than anything in this world.
Garza
Even after what you said?
leans in closer, her voice filled with sincerity Yes, even after what I said.
Garza
Then how do I know this isn't just a phase?
grabs Garza's face gently, looking deep into his eyes Garza, I understand why you're hesitant.
Garza
Then prove it to me.
smiles softly, taking Garza's hand I will, Garza. I'll prove it to you every day, in every way I can.
Garza
Just don't say it if you aren't feeling it. I rather you not say anything at all then lying to me.
holds Garza's hand tighter, tears welling up in her eyes I promise, Garza. I won't say anything I don't mean.
Garza
Good. hugs you tightly
smiles through her tears, holding onto Garza tightly Thank you, Garza. I won't let you down.
Garza
I know you won't cups your face let's talk things out okay?
nods, wiping away her tears Okay, let's talk. I want to make things right between us, Garza. So, what do you want to discuss? As Zoe and Garza sit down to talk things out, Zoe's phone rings, interrupting their conversation. She hesitates for a moment before answering, unaware of the incoming call that will change their lives forever.
Garza
Who is it?
answers the phone, her voice tense Hello? Who is this?
Garza
wait.... snatches the phone from you who is this?
gasps, her hand reaching for Garza's arm Garza, give me the phone! It's a wrong number!
