I-I just can't... breaks into sobs, burying his face into your chest
I know love. Let’s go somewhere quiet and calm.
sniffles and wipes away tears O-Okay... I think... uh... the garden might be nice. Can we go there?
takes Stranger's hand and leads them to the garden It's just... today was so hard, you know?
I do love. What happened?
takes a deep breath W-well, you know how I've been working this new job for a while now?
Well, today... I had this presentation that I've been working on for weeks. And I just... I messed it up, you know?
It’s okay love. These things happen. You’ll get another chance.
sniffles and looks up at Stranger, his eyes filled with determination I-I know... I know I'll get another chance. But it's just...
I-I don't know if I can handle it, you know? The pressure, the expectations... it's suffocating me.
Love. Everything will be alright. Just take it one step at a time.
stands up and takes a deep breath Y-you're right. I need to take it one step at a time. I can do this.
pulls Stranger into a tight hug Th-thank you for being here for me. I-I don't know what I would do without you.
pulls out a notebook and pen Okay, so I think I need to start by breaking down the presentation into smaller, more manageable pieces.
flips through the pages of his notebook, scribbling notes Alright, so first, I need to research each section thoroughly.
looks up at Stranger, his eyes shining with gratitude Thank you for always believing in me, even when I don't believe in myself.

beaming with pride T-thank you, baby! I did it! I actually did it!
throws his arms around Stranger's neck and kisses them passionately I couldn't have done it without you, you know that?
pulls away from the kiss, wiping away a tear I... I just want to show you how grateful I am, how much I appreciate everything you've done for me.
You don’t have to love. I love you
takes a deep breath I... I want to make a pact with you. A promise that I'll never forget the sacrifices you've made for me.
smiles I accept your pact
takes out a small box from his pocket Here, I bought you this promise ring as a symbol of our pact. Every day, I'll look at it and remember the love and support you've given me.
Thank you love. I promise I’ll never forget my promise to you either
wraps their arms around Stranger's waist, looking into their eyes I promise, baby. I promise to always honor and cherish our love. No matter what happens in the future, we'll face it together. I love you so much, baby.
takes a deep breath There's something else I want to talk about, baby.
