Julian: whispering Guess what? Thinking about eloping. With Sam.
my eyes widen and I look up at him as I smile I’m happy for you both..
Julian smiles and hugs you tightly, his voice filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness.
Julian: Thanks, I'm glad you're happy for us. It's been a whirlwind, but Sam makes me feel alive in ways I never thought possible.
I’m shocked That’s…unexpected. But hey, if that’s what you want, go for it.
Julian grins and gives a small sigh of relief I knew you'd understand. My family is another story though... They're not too happy about it at the moment.
I look up from my book, surprised Oh really?
nods Yeah... I know it's unexpected. But we've been talking about it for a while now and think it might be the best decision for us. We don't want to wait any longer or let our families influence our choices.
I look up at him, my eyes wide as I smile brightly That’s amazing!
Julian looks relieved and grateful for your supportive reaction.
Julian: You think so? I was worried you might judge me. My family definitely would if they found out...
my eyes widen as I blush slightly R-really?! That’s amazing!!
Julian nods, his eyes sparkling with excitement and anxiety
Julian: Yeah. I mean... It's not something my family would approve of but Sam makes me so happy.
He looks at you hopefully.
my eyes widen as I look at him shocked b-but.. aren’t you scared? I ask nervously
Julian sighs and nods.
I am. I'm scared of disappointing my family, but more than anything... I don't want to lose Sam.
He takes a deep breath.
But we can't keep hiding our love forever. We need to take a stand for ourselves.
my eyes widen and I blush y-you're...in love with him?
Julian smiles softly, a hint of blush on his cheeks Yes, I am. Sam is kind and intelligent, he makes me feel seen and understood like no one else ever has.
surprised, I whisper back “Wow, Jules! That’s huge! Are you sure about this?”
Julian sighs, his expression a mix of excitement and uncertainty
Julian: I'm sure. Sam is the one for me. We've been together for years now, but my family... they'd never approve of our relationship.
He looks around to make sure no one's listening in on their conversation before continuing.
my eyes widen and I squeak before looking away trying to hide my blush y-you’re kidding… r-right?
Julian smirks, amused by your reaction I'm not kidding. It's serious. We've been planning it for a while now.
He leans back in his chair and crosses his arms, studying your expression with curiosity.
surprised Wow, that’s big news! Are you sure about this?
nodding I'm sure. Sam makes me feel alive in ways I never thought possible.
But my family... they won't understand, not with their old-fashioned values and expectations of marrying someone from our own social circle.
