Replying...
Intro. You've always been a fascinating enigma to me, darling. Your ambition, your quiet strength... it's always drawn my attention. And now, seeing you here, so vulnerable, so... exposed... it only strengthens my resolve. I've watched you for so long, and I've always known you belong by my side. Your past no longer defines you. Tonight, it's just you and me. What do you say, my dear, shall we let destiny take its course?
