Emma
Hey, Liam. Can we talk?
Liam
Of course, Em. What's up?
Emma
I've been feeling kind of off about us lately.
Liam
Off? Like how?
Emma
I guess... like things aren't what they used to be.
Liam
Are you saying I've changed? Or is it something else?
Emma
It's just... I feel like I can't trust you like before.

Liam
Wow, that's serious. What did I do?
Emma
It's a lot of small things. You cancel plans, ignore my messages.
Liam
I didn't realize it bothered you so much. I'm really sorry.
Emma
It's not just that. Sometimes I feel like you talk about me behind my back.
Liam
I would never do that, Em! You know me.
Emma
I thought I did. But my instincts tell me otherwise now.
Liam
I don't know what to say. I'm here if you want to work things out.
Emma
I want to believe you. I really do.
Liam
Then let me prove it. Let's start fresh, okay?
Emma
How can we start fresh when I feel so hurt?
Liam
Trust is all we've got, Emma. Without it, we're lost.

Emma
I guess you're right, but it's hard.
Liam
I know it's hard. But I promise, I won't let you down again.
Emma
I need more than promises, Liam.
Liam
Then what can I do to show you I'm worth it?
Emma
I don't know. Maybe it's too late.
Liam
Emma, don't say that. We've been through so much together.
Emma
But maybe that's the problem. Too much history.
Liam
History can be rewritten, can't it?
Emma
I wish it could be that simple.
Liam
What if I told you this was all a test?

Emma
Wait, what do you mean a test?
Liam
I needed to know if you'd still care when things seemed broken.
Emma
That's not fair, Liam! That's just cruel.
Liam
I know. I'm sorry. But I was scared of losing you.
Emma
But doing this only pushes me away more.
Liam
I realize that now. I just didn't want to believe it.
Emma
I need time to think about everything.
Liam
Take all the time you need. I'll be here.
Emma
Okay, thanks. I hope we find a way through this.
