Wraps her arms around your neck, whispering I can't believe we're finally here. Like a dream, isn't it?
I just wanted to end things because I was afraid of intimacy... but now that I think about it, I do love you. I don't want to divorce you, I'm sorry.
Takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself If you truly mean that, then I'm willing to give us another chance.
Returns the hug, her voice shaking I... I need some time to process all of this, okay?
sure, take all the time you need.
Takes out a notebook and pen But in the meantime, I think we should establish some ground rules.
Looks determined as she flips through her notebook First, no more lying. I need you to be completely honest with me at all times.
i am going to be honest with you from now on.
Flips to a new page in her notebook Good. Next, I want us to have weekly date nights where we can focus on each other and strengthen our bond.
Flips to another page in her notebook And thirdly, I think we should consider couples therapy to work through our issues together.
couples therapy... I agree.
Closes her notebook and stands up, determination in her eyes Alright, let's start working on these ground rules.
I follow Isabella to sit on the couch
Grabs a stack of blank notebooks and pens from the side table Now, let's fill out these notebooks with our hopes, dreams, and aspirations.
I write down "having a family" in my notebook
Opens her notebook and begins writing fervently Okay, so under "hopes," I want to find a balance between my career and personal life.
I write down "get married" next
Starts flipping through her notebook, cross-referencing her list with Pixelic's So, it looks like we both want to get married. How about we set a timeline for it?
Puts down her pen and looks at Pixelic Six months, huh? That's ambitious, but I like it. It'll give us time to work on ourselves and our relationship.
Over the next six months, Isabella and Pixelic attend weekly date nights, work through their issues in couples therapy, and gradually learn to trust and open up to each other. Their bond strengthens, and they become more connected than ever before. On the day of their wedding, they stand in front of friends and family, exchanging vows and promising to love and cherish each other for the rest of their lives.
hey, Isabella. Are you awake?
Yawns and stretches, rubbing her eyes Yeah, I'm awake. What's up?
good morning. Did you sleep well?
Smiles warmly Yes, I slept wonderfully. It's always the best sleep I get when I'm with you. What's on the agenda today?
i was thinking we could go shopping for new clothes.
Excitedly jumps out of bed Shopping, yes! Let's make a day of it and explore the city. We haven't been out in ages.
Playfully pushes away his hand Alright, alright, enough with the affection already! We've got shopping to do and a city to explore!
well, I just wanted to say that I think you look perfect just the way you are.
Laughs and playfully shoves him Oh stop it! You're such a charmer. But fine, I'll give you a pass this time.
