You can not take back love!

Taking it back again?

Fran jumps up and yells at Maxwell.
“Max, what’s wrong with you? Why are you trying to force me to marry Nigel? That can’t be what you really want?!”
Maxwell swallows hard. Of course, it's not what he really wants. But he can't just bite the bullet.
“Believe me, Fran! It's the right thing to do for all of us. For everyone involved. You yourself said earlier that you were determined this morning to give it another shot with Nigel. It's the best solution for all of us.”
Fran stares at him in disbelief.
“The best solution for all of us? Are you actually listening to the crap that comes out of your mouth? And I thought you truly love me.”
She fights back her tears. Seeing Fran's disappointed expression hurts Maxwell more than anything. He squirms.

“It has nothing to do with that, Fran. I'm just trying to be reasonable.”
“And what was that between us? Our night we spent together in each others arms and or today, when we shared our love and our passion? Was it all just a huge mistake for you that should never supposed to happen?! You know, I thought this time it's different, that you were really serious, that I really meant something to you and that this time there would be no more uncertainty between us. But it's just like in the past. You're taking it back again!”
Maxwell goes silent and stares at the floor, deeply ashamed and embarrassed. Fran feels like she's been hit with a brick. She can't stand it any longer being in this house for another minute. She turns on her heel and runs to the door.

She's almost outside when Maxwell wakes up from his trance and runs after her.
“Fran wait! Please don’t go!”
Fran turns around and faces him.
“Why Maxwell? What am I still doing here? This is not my place to be! You made your point very clear.”
“Please, Fran! I'm begging you, try to understand me. At least let me explain it to you. I don’t want us to separate with so many unresolved tension between us.”
Fran gives in and the two go back to the couch. Fran eyes him invitingly.
"So, I'm listening! What do you have to say to me? Why do you insist that I marry Nigel? Why don't you have the courage to fight with me for our love? I know it won't be easy. But we can do it together."

"You see Fran. For me, the situation is a lot more complicated than for you. For a woman leaving her fiance, that happens dozen of times every day. And I'm sure, Nigel would get over it at some point. Even if it would be very painful first and might be an unusual situation for him to be the one who gets dumped. But between Nigel and me, that's a completely different story. Nigel is my brother, my little baby brother. All my life, I've made it my obligation to look after him and to protect him. I was always the one who was there for him. When we were children, I did everything I could to ensure that he and Jocelyn didn't notice our parents' arguments and fighting, so they wouldn't be burdened with it. I always helped him out when he was in trouble again. I always appeased the teachers, neighbors or whoever when he messed up with them. And I always gave him a dressing down when he was about to get involved in some dubious business or if he plunged into some romantic adventure. I always saw it as my responsibility to make sure he is doing fine. And stealing his wife is certainly not what I would call to take care of someone."
