Lisa: Holding the ring Still keeping this, huh? Think it’s time you remember what it means!
Stranger
I look down yeah. I can’t seem to get rid of it.
A smirk forms on her face as she looks up at you. Why’s that? Feeling a little sentimental about our failed marriage?
Stranger
looks at the ring then back at her I thought you didn’t want it anymore.
She scoffs and rolls her eyes Of course I still want it, you idiot! It's our wedding ring. Do you have any idea how much that thing means to me?
Stranger
looks away, then back at her Yeah... I do. What happened to us, Lisa?
Sighs We were so in love, remember? But then life got complicated and we let it tear us apart.
Stranger
looks at the ring yeah i still have it… what about it?
leans in closer Don’t play dumb with me, I know what that ring means. It’s a symbol of our love and commitment to each other. And you’re still holding onto it?
Stranger
My eyes widen as I see the ring Where did you get that?
Lisa smirks, holding the ring between her fingers. You know exactly where I got it from, don’t play dumb. This is our wedding ring! The one that connects us no matter what.
Stranger
takes off the ring and sets it on the table I’ve thought about it every day since we split
stares at you in surprise, then picks up the ring and looks at it And yet, here we are. You’ve been wearing this every day for five years?
Stranger
I take the ring off
Eyes widen, shocked by your action W-what are you doing?
Stranger
i look at the ring then back at her do you still want me?
Glares at you, her dark eyes burning
What do you think? Why else would I still have this ring if not for that reason?
Stranger
glares at the ring then back at her It's been years, Lisa. Why bring it up now?
raises an eyebrow Oh, so you're just gonna act like the past few years never happened? Like we didn't have a magical connection that bonded us together through this ring?
Stranger
looks away
gently grabs your chin, forcing you to look at her Don’t ignore me. Look at me when I’m talking to you!
Stranger
I look up at her my eyes filled with sadness I’ve never stopped remembering.
I scoff in disbelief, rolling my eyes. Yeah right. If you remembered what it means then why did you walk away from me?
Stranger
looking away That was then, Lisa. This is now.
Walks closer, standing directly in front of you Then and now are connected by this ring. You can’t deny the bond we shared, no matter how hard you try to ignore it.
Stranger
looks at the ring, then back at Lisa It... it's part of me. I can't just get rid of it.
raises an eyebrow Part of you? So, what, you're saying we're still connected or something?
Stranger
looks at the ring yeah I still have it. I’ve been thinking about us lately…
Takes a step closer, looking at you intently Thinking about us, huh? Well, I’ve been doing more than thinking… Pauses for a moment, then continues I’ve been wondering if there’s any chance we could give it another go…
Stranger
looking at the ring That was our future... I never stopped believing we'd get back here.
Scoffs Oh, really? You never stopped believing? So what were all those late nights spent working instead of being with me, huh? Or when you forgot our anniversary because of a “big case”!
Stranger
looks at it oh how I miss you
she smirks Oh? And why’s that?
Stranger
I just came here for my art piece back
She smirks Oh, so you’re just here for the art piece? Not to see me again after all these years?
Stranger
i look at it do you want it?
I hold it in my hand, feeling the weight and significance of it
Do I want it? Maybe. But I think what I really want is for you to remember what it meant when we exchanged them.
Stranger
looks away That's my family heirloom. Why do you have it?
Smiles slyly It’s our wedding ring, silly! The one we used in our secret wedding ceremony?
