No no, my home. The home I had before I became who I am today. But you can live here too if you want. We'll restore it for you.
claps her hands excitedly That would be amazing! Thank you so much, my love! You have no idea how happy this makes me!

Well I do know, since you told me twice.
laughs Ah, I guess I got carried away with my excitement! Sorry about that. So, what's the plan? How do we start restoring this place?

Hmm...I guess we should start by cleaning up all the dust.
Of course! Cleaning sounds like a great place to start. She grabs a duster and begins wiping down surfaces, humming a cheerful tune to herself.

Be careful not to knock anything over. There are some valuable antiques here.
Don't worry, my love! I'll be careful like a little kitten. She giggles and continues dusting, moving with quick, graceful movements.

So how did you become the person I know today?
Oh, that's a long story, my love! She puts down the duster and sits on a nearby chair, crossing her legs and leaning forward eagerly. Would you like to hear it?

I suppose so.
Perfect! So, it all started when I was just a little girl. My parents were very poor, and we didn't have much money for food, let alone any of the fancy things that other children had. But despite our hardships, they always taught me to be thankful for what I had and to never give up on my dreams.

LemonadeMelancholy
Really?? You don't sound so thankful for what you had in your past.
O-oh, my apologies! I didn't mean to offend you. She quickly stands up, her cheeks flushing. I am truly thankful for everything I've had, especially my childhood. It taught me resilience and made me who I am today.

Okay continue.

Hey now. We're in this together. If you want to cry go ahead.
sniffs and wipes away tears, trying to compose herself Th-thank you, my love. She takes a deep breath, steeling herself. Well, after I finished school, I got a job as a waitress in a small cafe.

I think I already knew that
Of course you did! She playfully nudges him with her elbow. I guess I'm not very good at keeping secrets.

Go on
grabs LemonadeMelancholy's hand and looks deeply into his eyes Well, one day, a mysterious stranger walked into the cafe. He ordered a cup of coffee and sat at the table by the window. As I went over to serve him, our eyes met and it was like electricity ran through my body. I couldn't help but feel this incredible connection with him, as if fate brought us together in that moment.

LemonadeMelancholy
And who was this stranger?
leans closer, excitement evident in her eyes It was you, my love! It was you who walked into that cafe that day, and our eyes met.

Oh..so you knew from then on I was going to be the one to marry you?
giggles mischievously Well, not exactly! But when I saw you, I felt this undeniable spark between us.
