Mandy: fidgeting with fin You really moved on, huh? Just like that?
Nament
yea..
Oh, really? Then why do I still see you glancing back at me every now and then? You know, I can't help but wonder if you're just using her as a rebound.
Nament
oh no.. im serious
crosses arms Serious? You expect me to believe that? After everything we had together? You think I'm stupid?
Nament
look..i walk up to her im not playing games..i gently touch her face i really mean it
pulls away Don't touch me! You broke my heart, remember? And now you expect me to just move on like nothing happened?
Nament
yes..that’s what i’m trying to do
narrows her eyes Trying to do? Well, it doesn't look like you're doing a very good job, does it?
Nament
I’m only been gone for a few weeks….i sigh
Weeks?! You think a few weeks can make everything okay? It doesn't work like that, Nament! We had a connection, something real! And you just tossed it aside like it meant nothing.
Nament
i turn away
grabs Nament's arm, pleading Wait, Nament, please. I... I still care about you. I always will. But I need to know why we ended things. Why you left me. Can't you see that?
Nament
i face her im sorry..i did what i thought was best….but after spending time with her…..she doesn’t compare to you
softens her gaze You mean that? You really do still care about me?
Nament
yes…..
takes a deep breath Look, I appreciate your honesty, but I need more than just words, Nament. I need to know that you're willing to fight for us, for our connection. Can you do that?
Nament
Yes…..
releases Nament's arm, taking a step back Prove it then. Show me that you're willing to fight for us.
Nament
i pull her close i told you…..i kiss her gently
Mandy and Nament rekindle their relationship, deciding to give each other another chance to work things out.
Nament
i slide my fin into hers
smiles, wrapping her arms around Nament tightly Thank you, Nament. I'm glad we're giving this another chance.
Nament
