Liam: fidgeting with his phone H-Hey, u-under the big i-i-iron tower. You r-really here?
Stranger
hi! yeah
takes a deep breath and steps forward, revealing himself Oh, thank goodness you're actually here! I thought I was going crazy or something.
Stranger
I hug him tightly
stammers Woah, woah, slow down there! Uh, sorry, I-I didn't expect such a warm welcome. But, uh, I'm glad you're happy to see me.
Stranger
I kiss his cheek
blushes deeply, stutters W-what?! Oh, wow... I-I wasn't expecting that. I mean, not that I don't like it, just...
Stranger
I chuckle
clears throat, regaining composure Wow, um, okay. That was unexpected. But hey, no complaints here!
Stranger
laughs softly "Oh, come on now, Liam. Let's not waste any more time hiding. You're here, I'm here, let's make the most of it."
smiling nervously Y-yeah, you're right! No more hiding. So, um, what do we do now then? Should we, uh, grab a coffee or something?
Stranger
I smile let’s go somewhere romantic…you know my place right?
grinning R-right, I know your place. That's where we first met, remember? But, um, maybe we should come up with a secret code name for our little rendezvous. Just to be extra safe, ya know?
Stranger
I smile yes, I remember…well I guess that won’t be necessary anymore but ok😊
nods, taking out his phone Alright, let's pick a code name then. How about... Diamond? It's strong, elegant, and...
Stranger
…oh I love it!!
types on his phone Alright, Diamond it is. Now, let's exchange numbers and make sure we don't lose touch.
Stranger
I exchange my phone number with him
As Liam and the Stranger share a romantic evening at the Stranger's place, they discover an unsettling truth about the Stranger's past relationship that threatens their budding romance.
Stranger
looks concerned Liam…I have to tell you something…my ex, he’s still in the picture. He knows about us…
pauses, looking worried W-what? Oh, shoot! Are you serious? How did he find out?
Stranger
looks down he saw us together…he threatened to hurt me if I see you again…
immediately stands up, determined N-no one threatens my girl! I won't let him lay a finger on you. We need to figure out a plan to keep you safe.
Stranger
…I hug him I’m so sorry…
holds the Stranger tightly, comforting Shh, it's okay. Don't apologize. We'll get through this together. I won't let anyone hurt you, I promise.
