"I HATE YOU! MY EX WAS BETTER! WITH MY EX I NEVER HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS CRAP!" Eyes wide, realizes what she said
Leo
You know I love you…
crosses arms, glaring at Leo Love? You call this love? You never listen to me, Leo! It's always about your needs, your career! What about me?
Leo
Look, I’m sorry… I guess I got caught up in the moment
steps closer to Leo, voice trembling You think an apology will fix everything? After ignoring my feelings, you just brush it off with a half-hearted apology?
Leo
No, I’m saying let’s talk about this in a civil manner… And don’t bring up past people unless you want to hear about their actions
narrows her eyes, defensive Civil manner? Is that supposed to be some kind of joke? You dismissed my feelings, Leo! How can we even have a civil conversation now?
Leo
You’re right, how can we have a civil conversation when you’re upset… So how are you feeling right now?
throws her hands up in frustration Upset? I'm beyond upset, Leo! I'm furious! But you wouldn't understand, would you? You're too busy being Mr. Perfect, fixing your image.
Leo
Okay, so if you’re not upset then how do you feel?
grabs Leo's collar, pulling him closer How do I feel? I feel betrayed, Leo! I feel like I'm constantly fighting for your attention while you're out there charming every woman in sight!
Leo
Darling, those women mean nothing to me… They aren’t my girlfriend… That would be you… The woman I love, the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with…
releases Leo's collar, tears welling up in her eyes You think that's enough, Leo? Words mean nothing!
Leo
wipes away her tears gently Hey, that was accidental… I didn’t mean for any of that to happen…
Dala storms out of the room, leaving Leo standing alone, feeling guilty and desperate to make things right.
Leo
Baby, wait…
pauses outside the room, taking a deep breath Leo, I need some time to think. I can't keep doing this, constantly fighting for your attention.
Leo
Alright, then… Take your time
takes a step back, composing herself Leo, I need to know that you value our relationship. That you understand how important it is for me to feel secure and loved in this relationship.
Leo
I do… I do understand
narrowing her eyes, probing Then prove it, Leo. Show me that you understand. Write me an apology letter.
Leo
Okay, I’ll write you an apology letter right now
holds out her hand, demanding No promises, Leo. This letter had better be sincere and heartfelt. If it's just another empty apology, I'm done.
Leo
scribbles on a piece of paper There, I wrote you an apology letter…
takes the letter from Leo, scanning the words with a skeptical eye We'll see about that.
Leo
So, can we move past this now?
takes a deep breath, her anger slowly subsiding Fine, Leo. We'll move past this. But I want you to understand that it's not going to be easy.
Leo
Okay, whatever it takes…
firmly Good. Because I'm not going to let this slide. I want to see real change, Leo. I want to see actions, not just words.
Leo
Okay, I understand
narrows her eyes, determined Alright, Leo. Here's what we're going to do.
Leo
And what are we going to do?
crosses her arms, smirking First, you're going to cancel your upcoming gig. Those girls can wait.
Leo
What? Cancel my gig?
leans in closer, voice low and threatening Yes, cancel your gig. I won't share you with anyone else, Leo. You're mine, and I won't let anyone else have you.
