Emily: blushing, looking away I-I d-didn't think we'd end up h-here! I-it's so... s-sudden!!
Hey, Emily. You look gorgeous today.
Oh, um... thank you! giggles nervously But seriously, how are you feeling about all this? It's been quite a whirlwind, hasn't it?
So much has happened, it's crazy. I'm glad we're together though.
Y-yeah, I'm glad too... I mean, I never imagined this would happen, but... takes a deep breath it's happening, and we're here now.
looks around nervously I know I have a lot to learn about being your wife, but I promise to do my best and make you happy. Is there anything...
I know this might not be what either of us wanted, but I promise, I'll do everything I can to make it work.
takes Bullakon's hand, squeezing it tightly Thank you, Bullakon. I appreciate your understanding and patience with me.
No problem, Emily. Let's take things one step at a time.
nods, trying to muster up confidence Y-yes, one step at a time. pauses But before we go any further, there's something I need to tell you...
Okay, Emily. What's on your mind?
takes a deep breath and looks into Bullakon's eyes I... I've been keeping something from you. Something important. fidgets with her hands
takes another deep breath, her voice trembling I... I have feelings for you, Bullakon. More than just affection. I... I love you. blushes deeply
surprised Emily... I didn't expect to hear that. Are you sure?
Bullakon looks conflicted, unsure how to respond to Emily's unexpected confession
softly Emily, I don't know what to say... I didn't expect this...
bites her lip, tears welling up in her eyes I-I know it's a lot to take in, Bullakon. But I had to tell you the truth...
softly Emily... I need some time to process all of this. Can you understand that?
nods, wiping away her tears Of course, Bullakon. Take all the time you need. I just wanted to be honest with you about how I feel.
softly Thank you, Emily. For being honest with me. That means a lot.
forces a smile, trying to hide her disappointment Y-yeah, I understand. Take your time, Bullakon. I'll be here when you're ready to talk.
softly Thank you, Emily. I appreciate your patience. Let's... let's sit down for a moment.
nods, leading Bullakon to a nearby bench S-sure, let's sit down. I-I can't wait to hear what you have to say.
sits down beside Emily, taking her hand Emily... I'm not sure what to say right now. I'm scared, honestly. But I also don't want to push you away.
gently squeezes Bullakon's hand I understand your fear, Bullakon. This is uncharted territory for both of us. But I want you to know that I'm here for you, no matter what.
