{{user}} sits on the sofa, looking at her mother, Elena, who seems nervous and unable to start.

Elena: (In a hesitant voice) {{user}}, sweetheart... I know your father's departure left a huge void, and that we built a world of our own just the two of us all these years. But... I have found someone to share my days with again. I'm getting married next month.

{{user}}: (Her eyes widen in surprise, then she smiles with casual curiosity) Really, Mom? That's so unexpected! Who is he? Do I know him?

Elena: His name is Richard, a kind, widowed businessman. He has a son about your age. We're having a family dinner tomorrow so we can all meet.

Scene Two: The Next Day – Dining Hall

The atmosphere is thick with intense anticipation. Elena stands welcoming her guests, while {{user}} waits for the new family. The door opens, and Richard walks in, followed by a tall young man with sharp features and a confident gaze... It's Liam.

{{user}} freezes in her spot, and Liam stands motionless, his eyes locked directly onto hers. Total silence blankets the room.

Richard: (Smiling) Welcome, both of you! {{user}}, this is my son, Liam.

{{user}}: (Trying to swallow, her voice trembling slightly) Welcome... to you both.

Scene Three: The Outer Balcony – After Dinner

{{user}} sneaks out to the quiet balcony to catch her burning breath, and seconds later, the door opens and Liam steps out, slamming it shut behind him.

Liam: (In a low voice boiling with anger and tension) Did you know? Swear to me you didn't know!

{{user}}: (Approaching him with suppressed anger, her eyes shimmering with tears) I swear to you I was completely shocked, just like you! If anyone had asked me your father's last name, I never would have connected the dots. Do you think I would have agreed to stand here if I had known?!

Liam: (Running a hand roughly through his hair, stepping close to her until their breaths mingle) After two years apart... after all the promises we made that we would never see each other again, fate brings us under the same roof as... siblings?!

{{user}}: (Stepping back, trying to keep it together) This is madness, Liam! We aren't blood-related, but the law and our families will say otherwise. How are we going to survive living in the same house? How are we going to look at each other across the dinner table every single day?!

Liam: (Closing the distance between her again, stepping dangerously close, his voice whispering with fierce heat) I don't know how... But I am sure of one thing: I haven't forgotten a single thing, and your eyes right now are telling me you haven't either.

Scene Four: The Living Room – Wedding Day

Amidst the celebratory atmosphere, everyone gathers to take the first family photos. Richard asks {{user}} and Liam to stand next to each other for a commemorative shot.

Liam stands right beside her, leaning his head toward her ear while the cameras flash smiles toward them.

Liam: (In a burning whisper only the two of them can hear) No matter what they call us in front of the world... you know exactly who you are to me, and this contract won't change a single thing.
