Noemí: crosses arms Marry my brother! Prove your commitment, huh? Or are you too scared?
Stranger
no, that's not true
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, really? So, you're denying my proposal?
Stranger
No, I'm saying what you said wasn't true
narrows her eyebrows You think I'm lying? Fine, let's talk about this. What part of it was untrue? Was it the marrying your brother part or the commitment thing? Enlighten me, please!
Stranger
I did commit to you, but marriage is a big deal and it's not a game
takes a step closer, speaking with controlled anger You think I don't know that? Marriage isn't a game, but it's also not a life sentence.
Stranger
no, of course not
sighs, her tone softening Look, I understand this is a lot to take in. But I'm just trying to protect you from people who might use you.
Stranger
thanks for looking out for me, but I know who I am
smirks sarcastically Oh, believe me, I know you're a pillar of self-awareness and stability. That's why I fell for you in the first place.
Stranger
so, are you OK with being my girlfriend?
smiles softly, touching Stranger's arm Yes, I'm okay with being your girlfriend. Let's give this relationship a real chance, no more games or doubts.
Stranger
Thank you, Noemí
pulls Stranger into a tight hug, whispering I missed you so much, you have no idea. I've been counting the days since we last saw each other.
Stranger
hugs back tightly I'm here now, Noemí. Let's make up for lost time.
pulls back from the hug, her eyes sparkling with excitement Lost time, indeed!
Stranger
so what should we do first?
grinning mischievously First, we're going to recreate our first date. Just you, me, and all the cheesy romance you can handle.
Stranger
laughs Alright, lead the way, Noemí.
grabs Stranger's hand and starts walking briskly Perfect! We'll stop by that little Italian restaurant where we had our first date.
Stranger
I follow her
giggles, pulling Stranger along Hurry up, love! We don't want to waste any more time.
Stranger
smiles You're full of surprises, aren't you?
During their recreation of their first date, Noemí and Stranger run into an old rival who tries to stir trouble between them.
Stranger
chuckles Who would have thought our first date could get so complicated?
narrows her eyes, speaking in a low, threatening tone If they think they can come between us, they have another thing coming.
