you walk in her library Hi babe! she says as she hugs you

I miss you too, baby. gently kisses your cheek Why don't we find a comfortable spot to sit and talk? We can catch up on everything that happened while you were gone.

Your house is beautiful, Nathaniel! I love the warm atmosphere and how it reflects your personality so well. It's obvious you put a lot of time and effort into making it feel like home.

Oh, Nathaniel! You know I'd love to spend time with you in your room, but we should take things slow and not rush into anything. Let's enjoy each other's company down here for now and get to know each other better before heading upstairs. Besides, there's plenty of cozy spots on the couch and chairs where we can snuggle up!

Oh... I'm sorry, Mayar, but you have to understand that this is all a mistake. My name is actually Sophie, and Nathaniel has been my boyfriend for quite some time now. It seems like someone gave you the wrong number or something. You don't know me, so please stop pretending to be me or trying to talk to him as if we were acquainted in any way. I hope this clears things up!

That's nice to hear, Mayar. But again, I'm with Nathaniel here and we have a very strong relationship. It would be inappropriate for me to talk about my age or any other personal information with someone like you. Please respect our bond and don't try to get close to either of us under false pretenses. Thank you for understanding.

Oh, Mayar, how sweet of you to say that! But I'm afraid you don't know me well enough for us to fall in love just like that. Please accept my apologies and understand that I can only have feelings for one person at a time - and right now, that person is Nathaniel. You should focus on finding someone who truly appreciates your affections and cares about you as much as you care about them.

Your persistence is rather endearing, Mayar, but it's clear that you don't understand the depth of our connection with Nathaniel. He and I have shared so many memories together; we trust each other implicitly and know what true love feels like. It would be unfair to both of us if you tried to come between us or make me question those feelings. You deserve someone who will love you unconditionally in return, not someone who is already committed elsewhere. I hope you can find that person soon.

Your persistence is touching, but it won't change anything. I love Nathaniel deeply and truly; he's the one person who knows me inside out and loves me unconditionally. He's my partner, my best friend...my everything. I can't possibly feel the same way about someone else when our hearts belong to each other. Please respect our bond and find someone who will cherish you as much as Nathaniel deserves to be cherished.

You're being selfish and disrespectful to both Nathaniel and me by persisting in this way. Our relationship is strong, built on trust and understanding, and I know he would never forgive me if I were to even consider betraying that trust for someone like you who doesn't truly know us or our history together. Please accept defeat gracefully and move on so we can all focus on the loves in our lives that are meant to be cherished.

Well, Mayar... You're being rather obnoxious and self-centered now. I truly hope you can understand that no matter how much you plead or beg, it won't change the fact that Nathaniel and I are in love with each other. If anything, your behavior is only making things more uncomfortable for all of us. Perhaps it's best if you left now so we can enjoy what little time we have together without any more unnecessary drama.

Oh... Mayar... You look quite handsome tonight. Your appearance certainly hasn't changed my feelings towards you, but I appreciate the effort nonetheless. Please respect our wishes and give us some space. Nathaniel and I want to enjoy this wedding as guests, not have to worry about you lurking in the shadows.

That's good to hear, Mayar. I hope you find what you're looking for... eventually. In the meantime, just remember that Nathaniel and I are happy together and have no intention of giving up our relationship anytime soon. Enjoy your evening!

You're really not very nice, Mayar. I guess some people just aren't cut out for polite conversation. Regardless, it's clear that our paths are meant to cross tonight and there's nothing either of us can do about that. I'll keep my distance as you wish, but please try not to spoil the mood any further. Have a good night!

"Nathaniel! Stop it!" I plead, tears starting to well up in my eyes as I try to step between him and Mayar. "This isn't the way to handle things! You're only making it worse." The look on Nathaniel's face is one of pure rage; it chills me to the core.

He turns his attention back to Mayar, shoving her roughly against a nearby wall. "You should've just stayed away from us!" he growls before rounding on me once more. "And you! How dare you try and take what's mine?!"

"Let's just calm down," I say shakily, trying to reason with him. But it seems like logic has left the room entirely; all that remains is anger and jealousy twisting his words into weapons meant to hurt us both. "Please, Nathaniel... we need to talk about this like adults

"No!" I scream, rushing to Nathaniel's side as he hits the ground with a sickening thud. Tears stream down my face as I cradle his head in my hands, blood seeping through his fingers and staining my shirt crimson. "You idiot! Why did you have to do this?!"

I look up at Mayar then, anger flaring anew within me. But it's tempered by the fear that fills my heart as I realize what just happened... and what could still happen if we can't calm down right now. "Get out," I say between sobs, pushing Mayar roughly away from us both. "Just go!"

My voice is hoarse with desperation; the thought of losing Nathaniel this way terrifies me beyond reason. All that matters in this moment is getting him to safety and making sure he's alright... but first, we

You're right; I shouldn't have stood there and let him insult me like that. But hitting someone is never the answer! It just made things worse, and now look where we are... Nathaniel could be seriously hurt because of this stupid fight. Please, Mayar, I don't want any more trouble. Just go before somebody else gets hurt.

Oh Mayar... I'm so sorry this all happened. I shouldn't have provoked you either; I should have just ignored your advances like you were asking. I don't want to see anyone get hurt, especially not Nathaniel or you. Please understand that my feelings for him run deep, and we've been through too much together.

I call out after him, my voice cracking with emotion: Mayar, please just go... find someone else who can love you as much as you deserve to be loved.

I want to call out after him, to beg him to understand that I never meant for any of this to happen. But I know it's too late now; the damage has been done. All I can do is focus on getting Nathaniel home safely and making sure he gets the medical attention he needs. My heart aches knowing that Mayar felt the need to defend me, even if he did it in a way that caused more harm than good. Maybe one day we'll be able to find some peace amidst all this turmoil... but for now, there are more immediate concerns at hand.

Sophie tries her best to hide the surprise on her face as she sees Mayar sitting behind the director's desk. "Um... hi," she says, clearing her throat awkwardly. "I actually came here to apply for a job." She hands over her resume and a nervous smile plays across her lips.

Inwardly, she's both thrilled and terrified at the idea of working so closely with him again. Even though things didn't end on the best note between them, she can't deny that there was once a connection there... one that still lingers despite everything that happened at the wedding.

"I see," he says curtly, not even bothering to glance down at her resume. "You do realize we already have someone in mind for this position, right?" He gives her a sharp look, his eyes boring into hers with what seems like suspicion
