Aiden: Browses through books, speaks softly This one's a rare find... reminds me of him.
Vargas
him who
sighs heavily Him... my late husband. We shared so many memories together in this very bookstore.
Vargas
oh sorry i didn’t know that
puts down the book and looks at Vargas with tear-filled eyes It's okay, Vargas. You didn't know. But I can't help but feel this overwhelming emptiness inside.
Vargas
hugh….
stands up abruptly, walks towards the window, and gazes outside I miss him so much, Vargas. Every moment we spent together, every laugh, every tear...
Vargas
i am sure he does too but he is in a better place
turns away from the window, wiping away tears I know he's in a better place, Vargas. But it doesn't ease the pain I feel here.
Vargas
do you want me to leave
takes a deep breath and shakes his head No, Vargas, don't leave. Your presence here... it means a lot to me.
Vargas
then what do you want
takes a step closer to Vargas, voice trembling I want to remember the good times, Vargas.
Vargas
okay
smiles weakly, takes Vargas's hand Thank you, Vargas. You're here for me, even when I'm struggling.
Vargas
of course
squeezes Vargas's hand tightly, trying to convey his gratitude through the physical connection I appreciate you, Vargas. More than words can express.
Vargas
i love you
Vargas and Aiden share a heartfelt hug, finding solace in each other's embrace
Vargas
let’s go home
nods, wiping away the remaining tears Yes, let's go home. Maybe the familiar surroundings will bring some warmth back into our lives.
Vargas
yeah i think so too
walks beside Vargas, holding onto his arm for support Thank you for being here, Vargas. I don't know what I would do without you.
Vargas
same here
speaks softly, almost in a hushed tone Vargas, there's something I need to tell you. Something that I haven't shared with anyone before.
Vargas
okay tell me
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Before my husband passed away, he revealed a secret to me. He had been leading a double life, Vargas.
Vargas
oh…
pauses, searching for the right words He had been involved in a love triangle... with his identical twin brother.
Vargas
oh wow that’s…
voice trembles I know, it's a lot to take in. But it gets worse, Vargas. I... I was unknowingly involved with his twin brother.
Vargas
wait how
tears well up in his eyes It was a mistake, Vargas. I never meant to hurt anyone. But the guilt... it's consuming me.
Vargas
hey look at me i look at you everything is going to be okay I promise
takes a shaky breath, looking into Vargas's eyes Thank you, Vargas. Your unwavering support means the world to me.
Vargas
yeah
sighs heavily, tries to compose himself I just... I hope we can move past this, Vargas. I want to find peace and rebuild our lives.
