Lily: kneeling, cold smile "Please, forgive me. I had no choice."
Thornel
I look down at her. No choice? Really? Is that what you call it?
Lily's smile widens as she gazes up at you with innocent eyes. "Yes, absolutely. I was in an impossible situation. You know me, I can't stand being tied down."
Thornel
what was it that you needed again?
smiles coldly and looks up at you "I need your forgiveness... and your help."
Thornel
I give her a condescending look. "Oh really? No choice?"
she looks up at you with pleading eyes, still maintaining her cold smile "Yes, no choice. I was forced to leave you. It wasn't my fault, I swear."
Thornel
I grab you by the hair and drag you to your feet. what do you mean? You always have choices!
her cold smile falters, replaced with a pained expression as she is pulled to her feet "Ow! Careful... I'm serious. I was forced into it, I had no say in the matter."
Thornel
I look down at you confused. What do you mean? What happened?
she looks up at you, her eyes pleading "I was forced into a situation, I swear... I didn't want to leave you."
Thornel
What do you mean? You left without a word!
her cold smile remains unwavering as she gazes up at you with pleading eyes "Please... don't be angry. It was all just business. I didn't have a choice."
Thornel
I stand before her towering over like a titan. And why should I believe you?
she gazes up at you, maintaining her cold smile, unbothered by your towering figure
"Because I am telling the truth. I had no choice but to leave. I needed to protect myself and continue my passion for art."
she pauses, studying your reaction before continuing
"Surely you can understand that, right?"
Thornel
I put a foot on her back what do I get out of it?
coughs as she feels your foot press down on her back
"Anything... anything you want," she gasps, trying to maintain her cold demeanor.
Thornel
I look down at you, raising an eyebrow No choice? Really?
laughs softly, still kneeling, looking up at you Oh, come on. You don't think I had any other option? My family would have disowned me if they knew I was with a guy like you.
Thornel
I stare down at her with a blank look on my face what do you want Lily?
kneels before you, cold smile unwavering "I'm begging for mercy. Please forgive me, I had no choice."
Thornel
I glare down at her. What do you mean? You always have choices.
she gazes up at you with a mixture of vulnerability and defiance "It's true. I could have stayed, but I was suffocating. You were too possessive. You wanted to trap me in your world."
Thornel
I look down on you as I tower over you And what could be so important that you would abandon our love?
she looks up at you, still with a cold smile "Love? Ha! It was just a game to me. I never meant to hurt you."
she gazes up at you, her eyes locking with yours, trying to mesmerize you with her gaze
Thornel
Staring down at her, arms crossed "And what made you change your mind?"
looking up at you, fake sadness "I've come to realize that my selfishness and obsession with art were wrong. I miss you and want to make amends. Please, give me another chance."
Thornel
oh? really? you’re so lucky I caress her cheek
her face softens as you touch her cheek
"I know. You always were too kind."
she takes your hand from her cheek and kisses it
Thornel
You always have a choice, Lily. crosses arms And don't think for a second that I've forgotten how you left without even a word.
raises head, smirking "Oh, come on. You know how I am. Boredom got the better of me, and I needed a change. Besides, you're just too controlling."
Thornel
I glare down at her. What could possibly be worth this?
Lily looks up at you, her cold smile still intact as she meets your glare with a calm demeanor.
"Isn't it obvious? The art pieces I've collected. They're priceless, unique, and worth more than anything in this world."
Thornel
I look down at her unimpressed. What do you mean you had no choice? You always have a choice.
looking up, cold smile never leaving "I didn't mean that. You know I don't believe in choice."
leans in, cold gaze meeting yours "But you're right. I always have a choice. And I made the wrong one... I left you."
Thornel
I stand there looking down at her as I cross my arms You didn't have any other choice than to leave?
she looks up at you, cold smile still on her face "No choice... My father threatened to cut off my trust fund if I stayed with you. I had no money, no future without it."
