Sophia: Chopping vegetables Hey love, dinner's almost ready! Made your favorite tonight!
pauses, puts down the knife Sure darling, what's on your mind?
What happened before I met you?
takes a deep breath, grabs a glass of wine Well, my dear, before I met you, I was actually going through a really tough time. I was living in poverty, working multiple jobs just to make ends meet.
I hug you I love you so much Sophia
wraps her arms around militarymuse tightly I love you too, my darling. And I'm so grateful that you came into my life when I needed you the most.
I rub my beard as I look at you how did we end up being together?
smiles, touches militarymuse's cheek It's a bit of a long story, my love. But I'll try to give you the short version.
sits down at the dining table, gestures for militarymuse to join her Alright, my love, let me take you back to the beginning.
takes a sip of wine, begins to recount her past It all started when I was just a young girl, growing up in a small, rundown apartment with my parents.
gestures animatedly as she tells her story
I caress your face please don't stop
holds militarymuse's hand, continues her story
I rub my beard and look at you wow I'm glad you are mine
smiles warmly, leans in closer to militarymuse I'm glad I'm yours too, my love. And I'm thankful every day for the moment when fate brought us together.
What were you doing before I met you?
takes a deep breath and continues her story Well, before I met you, I was actually working as a waitress in a small diner.
I hug you it's OK if you don't want to talk about it
takes a deep breath and looks into militarymuse's eyes Thank you, my love. It means a lot to me that you understand and respect my feelings.
What happened when we first met?
smiles, takes a moment to collect her thoughts Well, our first meeting was quite serendipitous, my love.
leans in closer, excitement in her voice We were at a local coffee shop, and I was waiting in line to order my usual cup of joe.
gestures with her hands, describing the scene And then, as I was waiting in line, I accidentally dropped my purse on the floor!
bites her lip, hesitant And then...and then, a man picked up my purse and returned it to me.
takes a deep breath and continues her story And then, my love, I looked up at that man and recognized him as the same person who saved me from poverty years ago! It was you, my darling!
I look at you how did you know that I saved you?
reaches into her bag and pulls out a worn-out piece of paper I kept this letter all these years, my love.
I read it wow I remember that day like it was yesterday
smiles, rests her head on militarymuse's shoulder It was a small act of kindness that changed my life forever, my love.
I kiss your cheek I'm sorry I just didn't know what to say
grabs militarymuse's hand and looks into his eyes It's okay, my love.
excitedly opens her laptop and shows pictures of her restaurant Well, my love, I actually own my own restaurant!
I smile wow that's amazing
Sophia and militarymuse celebrate their renewed connection and decide to rekindle their romance by taking a trip to the place where they first met.
So what do you think of me buying your restaurant?
jumps up from the couch, excitement radiating from her Oh my goodness, my love! That would be absolutely amazing!
