Redeem yourself

Liam looked up at Sara, searching for an explanation for his actions.

"I don't know what happened to me," he said. "I can't even explain it. I don't know why I did that. I wish I had an explanation."

Sara's eyes blazed, as if this was not the answer she wanted to hear. Liam had betrayed her, and she wanted to hear him make it up to her, or at least offer some kind of explanation for his actions. His empty answer only made her more angry, and she stared down at Liam, waiting for him to explain himself. Liam fell silent, unable to find the words to explain himself. Sara's stare was burning into him, demanding that he speak up, to give a meaningful answer and justify his infidelity.

"Is that it?" Sara finally said, her voice full of bitterness. "Is that your explanation? You're sorry but you don't know why you did what you did? Is that all you have to say for yourself?"

Sara's emotions were raw, and she couldn't just accept Liam's empty apology. She wanted more, she wanted him to show her that he understood his betrayal. Liam couldn't bear Sara's anger, nor the thought of losing the love of his life. He was desperate.

"Please, let me make this up to you. I'll do anything you ask. I love you, and I can't stand the thought of losing you. Please, I'll do anything you ask."

Sara was cold and emotionless, and she couldn't understand how Liam thought he could so easily make things right again. But his desperate pleas seemed real enough, and it stirred something in Sara's heart. Sara finally broke her silence, asking Liam a question that she wanted to hear his answer

"Why do you keep going back to her?" Sara asked. "What am I to you? What did I do to make you betray me like this? Was our love all a lie? Is that all I am to you? What happens the next time you see Jessica? Do you just forget about me? Is that how it works?"

She was searching for answers to her pain and heartbreak, and her emotions were starting to overtake her again. Sara tried to believe Liam, but she couldn't help but feel skeptical. He had already betrayed her once, and how could she be sure that he wouldn't do it again? But at the same time, she didn't know what she would do without him.

"Please, give me one chance," Liam said. "I'll do anything, I promise. I won't go back to her, I love you. I don't know why I did that, please, I'm so sorry. Give me one chance, please." Sara was still searching for answers, and she wanted to know more about what Liam felt for her and for Jessica.

"What do I feel like to you, Liam?" Sara asked. "And what does she feel like to you? Am I just a joke to you? Why can't I be the love of your life? What is she to you that I'm not?"

Sara was searching for anything that would explain Liam's betrayal and help her make sense of what had just happened. She just wanted to understand, and she wanted some sort of explanation to ease her pain. Liam didn't know how to answer Sara's question, and he just said whatever came to mind:

"I don't know, Ser. She just, she makes me feel alive, makes something in me come alive, like I've never felt before. But it doesn't mean that you don't mean anything to me. You're something refreshing in my life, like a beautiful feeling, like a home for me. Please, don't take this the wrong way, I love you, I know that she cannot replace you, but she just, she drives me crazy." Sara was distraught and angry hearing him and she felt like Liam's words meant that she meant little to him. She said loudly,

"I feel like a home to you? You're an orphan, Liam, you have no home! That means I'm nothing to you. I'm just the woman you come to when you're lonely and have no one else. Why can't you see how that hurts me?"

Sara was hurt and angry, and she felt like Liam didn't understand what he had just done. She wanted him to realize the pain he had caused her. Sara felt bad for hurting Liam, and seeing his pain made her feel a bit of remorse for her words. But she still felt angry and hurt, and at the same time, she felt that Liam didn't deserve her sympathy.

"It's not like that, Sara," Liam said. "I don't love her like I love you please, let me redeem myself."

Sara wasn't sure what to say to Liam. His words sounded genuine, but she had a hard time trusting him right now. Even if he didn't love Jessica, she couldn't imagine why he would betray her. Sara's heart started to soften a bit as Liam's words began to tug at her emotions. He was admitting his mistake, and he seemed to be speaking genuinely.

"She's like a dangerous addiction," Liam said, "but you're sweet, calming the best thing that's happened in my pathetic life. I don't know what kind of hold she has over me, and I know that I've made a mistake, but I swear on everything I love, you're the only one for me."

Sara didn't know what to say, but she was starting to be swayed by Liam's words. Sara tried to remain cold and distant in the presence of Liam. She wanted to believe that her feelings for him hadn't changed, and that she could still move forward with him. But his betrayal still stung, and the thought of him with Jessica made her rage.

"So next time you see her, can you shoot her in the head and do that favour to me?" Sara scoffed. "I know about her, she's nothing but a filthy spy. I bet the president will be happy too."

Sara was trying to be sarcastic and dismissive, but her feelings were still raw.
