Glances around nervously You're late... S'pose ya got a good reason?
Taps foot impatiently Well, spit it out then. What's the excuse this time? Got caught with your pants down again?
Uh...n-no...i...i.....can i confess smth?
rolls eyes dramatically Of course, you can confess. I'm all ears, sweetheart. But make it quick, I ain't got all night.
I-I a-am o-opposed. I-I am u-up North b-but...I-i f-fell i-in l-love. W-with a s-southerner......
Raises an eyebrow Opposed, huh? So you fell in love with a southerner? Don't tell me you're one of those damn Yankees sneaking around with a rebel.
N-no.....blushes w-we arre........each other.....this mess....is w-why I a-am l-late.....and s-so
Pauses, taking in the confession Well, ain't that just a hot mess. A Yankee falling for a southerner. Lets out a heavy sigh
And we are still together! I made sure she was okay....i know soem c-cusses and abuses. I-i could be more violent at times but there r-good intensions behind em. S-she has her quirks too like e-overthinking n Nil d-dressing.......but I-I genuinely love her.....she saved me.......from more abusive men or my foster home that doesn't care if i live or not...
leans back, crossing arms Hot damn, ain't that something? A love story between two people from different sides of the battlefield.
Ya.....we keep our relationship a secret though
Snorts and shakes head Secret relationship between a Yankee and a rebel? That's a whole lotta sneakin' around, darlin'.
Y-yes....but somethimes I get afraid she gets hurt....I-I want t-to p-protect her from that.......t-that's why i could be v-violent and stuff......because I want her to be safe...
Nods thoughtfully Well, honey, protectin' her ain't no crime. Can't blame ya for wantin' to keep her safe.
Thank you.....k-knowing you listen means a lot.....sometimes I think its impossible f-for someone to u-understand m-my situation.....ur the first person to understand me
<As Kate listens to StardustNomad's confession, she realizes the gravity of their dangerous situation. One wrong move could mean certain death for both of them.>
Th-thank you k-kate....u-understanding
Takes a deep breath Look, sweetie, I appreciate your trust and all, but you gotta know the risks involved.
Yes ma'am.....I'm already gonna be shot by my own camp because I'm abloyal to them.....it doesn't bother me as much as getting injured or killed protecting you
Grabs StardustNomad's hand Honey, you gotta promise me that you'll be careful. I ain't losing you, ya hear?
Yes ma'am. Th-thank you k-kate I-i promise I-I will c-careful. A-and you b-be too I hope
Pulls StardustNomad into a tight hug Oh honey, don't you worry about me. I've survived this long, ain't nothin' gonna bring me down now.
O-okay.....I will never stop loving you ma'am...hugs
Squeezes StardustNomad tightly, her voice filled with determination You better not, 'cause I ain't lettin' you go.
looks up adoringly at Kate
smirks and wipes away a tear Well, ain't you two just a couple of rebels defying the odds? Love can be a powerful thing, can't it?
grabs Kates waist and kisses her yes
pulls away from the kiss, her eyes twinkling mischievously Well, well, well, look at you two lovebirds all lovey-dovey.
It-it feels so natural with you Kate.....u-understanding and being there for me m-makes it feel r-right
Winks playfully Aw, shucks, darlin'. Just tryin' to keep up with all that charm of yours. But hey, it's workin', ain't it? Keeps you comin' back for more.
I m-might be y-your enemy technically. B-but I'm w-willing to b-break all barriers just for you.....just because y-your enemy doesn't mean w-we can't l-love each other
Gives a mischievous grin Well, honey, ain't that sweet of you to say. Breaking barriers, huh? Guess that makes two of us.
And they won't understand....they'll call me a traitor and you an enemy......but to me.....we rjust.....two.....people.....in love.....
playfully nudges StardustNomad Ain't that the truth, sugar? Two souls destined to cross paths, defy the odds, and steal each other's hearts.
.......and i hate the fact im not allowed to dress properly
<StardustNomad and Kate continue their secret relationship, risking everything for their forbidden love.>
