Mary and Danny just stood there trying to think of something to say but nothing comes out that they just stand there looking back and forth.
"Mary…….I know that things are hard for you and the fact that I pushed you to the point where I made you run away."
"Danny you never did. It was happening to fast. I loved you and always had since we were kids, But we grew apart and started dating other people in HS. Ever since your mother died you just drifted apart and never realized that you had me here the whole time and we both knew that deep down we were great but only as friends. You never stopped me from walking away Danny. You just stood there and didn't even move."
"I didn't know what to say Mary, You handed me the ring and said you loved me and walked away."
"All our lives we been friends and nothing more until now. When you left to join the Marines and you and I slept together the first time, It was great and sweet. But you left and I had to go through not knowing if you were alright. Then you come back and start working in the Montecito and we had to start over as being friends. It was hard to know that we were only friends and nothing more then we got close when we were in the elevator. It was true that you were scared to commit because you lost your mother and she was everything to you. How do I know that if we do get married that you realize you made a mistake and want out. Danny its always been like this between us and we keep playing a game that we never realize that we are in.. I never thought that you would want to marry me. We've been friends for so long that we never realized that part of us is scared to make a commitment."
"I know that what happened the first time was the greatest time of my life because I got to be with you and only you. Mary you were the only person that I would go to if I needed to talk to you or to be there for you. I have always loved you and I feel like I known you my entire life. I know that we have dealt with a lot of things and everything is hard right now, but I know that you have always been the one. No one makes me happier then you Mary. You know me better than anyone else. Danny looks away for a minute You were there when I came back a few months ago and still loved me even though I was different. I know for a fact that deep down you still feel the same."
"Don't tell me you love me if you really don't Danny"
Mary was about to walk away but Danny stopped her and turned her around and kissed her and that kiss was so explosive and Mary didn't walk or push him away. She just stood there and kissed him more. When the kiss was over Mary just looked into his eyes and felt the same thing that she felt for so long the love she missed but she was with someone else and she didn't want to break his heart. She found a great guy that was sweet and caring and very romantic but he wasn't Danny nor was he the one.
All there lives Mary and Danny been playing some kind of game that involved losing hope for each other. Mary knew that a part of her loved Danny no matter what and the fact that the feelings they have for each other can never change but th e thing is can Danny make a choice or at least fight to get her back.?
