 Steven:       Veronica wait!  Come on honey, get back in
               the car. Let’s talk it over, okay?

 Veronica:      No!  I’m tired of your lies!  I don’t know who
                you are anymore!

 Steven:        Veronica.  It’s me, the man that has and al-
                ways will love you.  I’m sorry that I’ve lied to
                you.   Believe  me,  it’s  been  so  hard  for  me
                as well, and time and again, I’ve thought of
                coming clean. But, I couldn’t put you, or my
                mission at risk. It’s all over now. My assign-
                ment is complete and now I have to go back
                to India.

 Veronica:      What? Are you kidding?  Is there anything
                else  I  should  know  before  I  never  see  you
                again? How could you deceive me like that?
 Steven:        Yes... Veronica... I  know  that this  isn’t
                the  best  time  and  that  you  probably  hate
                me  right  now  but,  I  want  to  be  completely
                forthright¹ with you. I know deep in my heart
                that you are the best thing that has ever hap-
                pened  to  me. Veronica... will  you  marry
                me?  Come  with  me  to  India  baby,  I  can’t
                make up for everything that’s happened, but
                I can promise you my undying love. I will be
                the most devoted² husband, and I will cher-
                ish you always.

 Veronica:      Steven...  I can’t just leave everything at the
                drop of a hat! With everything that has hap-
                pened between us, I just don’t know you any
                more. I  just  can’t  build  a  relationship  on  a
                foundation of lies. I do love you but... I can’t
                go with you. I’m sorry... I love you...
