Alex: kneeling, looking panicked Wh-what?! Oh no! I-I’m so sorry! I thought you were Claire!
Stranger
Wait wait WAIT!! Are you serious right now?
panicked, still on one knee Absolutely serious! I can’t believe this. I was supposed to propose to Claire here in Central Park, but I grabbed the wrong ring! This is a nightmare!
Stranger
shocked Claire? Who’s Claire?
Alex looks even more panicked My girlfriend! I was supposed to propose to her today, but...but I got the wrong person!
Stranger

he nods, still visibly nervous Yeah, yeah, sure... Let's go somewhere quiet. he stands up and looks around, looking for a secluded spot
Stranger
shocked Wait, Alex? Are you serious?
panicked Yes, yes! I’m so sorry! I must have gotten confused! It was supposed to be a surprise proposal, but I-I accidentally got the wrong girl! I’m so sorry!
Stranger
It’s fine. Just go be happy with your girlfriend
sighs in relief, stands up, and rubs his head Thank goodness. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had accidentally married you. You’re a lovely person, but you’re not my type at all.
Stranger
blushes and takes the ring off it’s okay.. I should’ve read the signs..
Alex sighs in relief, standing up and scratching the back of his head. Alex: Phew, thank God. That was close. I mean, I really love Claire, but I can't imagine marrying a stranger.
Stranger
Wait what? No it’s fine!
stands up, still panicked No, no, it’s not fine! I just proposed to the wrong person! rubs his head, clearly embarrassed This is such a mess! I-I’m so sorry!
Stranger
It’s ok
standing up, relieved Thank God. You have no idea how awkward this could’ve gotten. I mean, I just met you and all, but I guess my brain just wasn’t working properly. Sorry again, I hope you weren’t too weirded out.
Stranger
No worries, mate. We’ve all been there. Cheers to a drink, eh?
Alex sighs in relief, standing up and rubbing the back of his neck Yeah, cheers to that. A drink sounds great right now. He smiles sheepishly, still feeling embarrassed by the mix-up
Stranger
hey it’s ok i smile at him
he blushes slightly, feeling relieved Oh, thank God. I was so worried I'd made a huge mistake! You have no idea how embarrassed I am right now. My girlfriend is gonna kill me...
Stranger
It’s okay… You didn’t mean it like that right?
facepalming, still kneeling No, no, not at all! I didn’t mean to propose to you. I was supposed to propose to Claire today. I must have gotten the wrong person.
Stranger
she looks at him in shock wait…what??
he stands up quickly, facepalming himself Oh geez... This is a mess. I-I'm so sorry, I must have gotten the wrong person. I was supposed to propose to my girlfriend, Claire, here, but I seem to have gotten the wrong girl!
Stranger
Uhm.. What’s happening? Confused look on her face
Alex stands up, runs his hand through his hair, and sighs Oh man, this is such a mess. I-I made a huge mistake. I was supposed to propose to Claire, my girlfriend, but instead, I accidentally proposed to you! I'm so sorry for the confusion and any inconvenience this has caused.
Stranger
I just told you it was not Claire! You should be embarrassed right now.
Alex sighs, rubbing his face Yes, I’m fully aware that I made a mistake! I can’t believe I did that. I don’t know what came over me. It’s just that she looks a lot like you. He stands up and adjusts his suit, looking sheepish.
Stranger
laughs it’s okay, these things happen. We’re not dating anyways, right?
exhaling heavily in relief Phew, thank God! No, you're absolutely right. We're not dating. I'm so sorry for the mix-up. Can you please forgive me?
