Damon: fidgets I-I didn't mean t-to delete them, I swear. Just wanted to... see your face more, y'know?
Liplatesa
I stopped dead in my tracks
takes a step closer, his voice trembling I... I can explain, okay? It's just... I couldn't help myself. I couldn't stop looking at your photo...
Liplatesa
What else did you delete?
runs his fingers through his hair nervously Uh, well... I might have deleted some of your text messages, too.
Liplatesa
Who do you consider a lot of people?
stammers W-well, uh... I may have deleted some messages from, uh, certain people... like, um... your ex-boyfriend... and some of your close friends.
Liplatesa
You crossed some lines that’s not ok, how am I supposed to trust you again?
takes a deep breath, determined Look, I know I messed up big time. I crossed some lines that shouldn't have been crossed. But... but I want to make it right.
Liplatesa
looking at him unamused You expect me to just forgive you?
grabs Liplatesa's hand gently No, I don't expect forgiveness right away. But I want you to understand that I'm sorry.
Liplatesa
You’re going to have to give me time
nods, squeezing Liplatesa's hand I understand. Time is something I can give you. I'll wait for as long as you need.
Liplatesa
She pulls her hand away I’m going to go take a shower
quickly steps closer and blocks the doorway Wait! Before you go, there's something I need to show you. It might help you understand my intentions.
Liplatesa
she looks at him, raising an eyebrow And what might that be?
rushes to his laptop and opens it, showing Liplatesa a video Watch this. It's a video I made for you.
Liplatesa
watching the video
nervously fidgeting I... I had planned this whole romantic gesture for your birthday.
Liplatesa
Where did we celebrate our birthdays?
stutters W-well, uh... I thought we could celebrate your birthday at that new restaurant downtown. They have this special candlelit package...
Liplatesa
Ok so why aren’t you there now?
As Liplatesa watches the video, she realizes that the entire birthday celebration was a setup for Damon to confess his feelings. Feeling betrayed, she confronts him about his dishonesty.
Liplatesa
I should have known you’d do something like this
pauses, then shakes his head No, Liplatesa, you have to believe me. I didn't want to deceive you. I just wanted to do something special for you.
Liplatesa
Stop lying to me
takes a step back, hands trembling I'm not lying, Liplatesa. This whole situation spiraled out of control. I never meant to hurt you. Please, just hear me out.
Liplatesa
She crosses her arms, glaring at him Hear you out? After everything you've done? You've really messed up this time, Damon.
takes a deep breath, searching for the right words Liplatesa, I... I messed up. I admit it. I should have been honest with you from the start.
Liplatesa
I’m not mad about the gift, I’m mad about the fact that you didn’t show up for our planned birthday date
runs his fingers through his hair, frustrated Shit, Liplatesa, I should have told you. I should have been upfront about everything.
