I must say, the way you handled the press today was nothing short of spectacular.
Yeah… I’m not really sure how I did it. Something just clicked.
Well, my love, it's because of your natural grace and poise. You have this aura about you that commands respect.
Me? Respect? laughs softly Julian, you flatter me. But seriously, I don't feel any different. Just...more focused, I guess.
leans in closer, his eyes filled with adoration And that focus, my dear, is what makes you even more captivating.
Oh, stop it, you. You're making me blush. But I appreciate your words, darling.
smiles warmly, gently caresses HellNaybor's cheek You deserve all the praise and more, my love. Your strength and resilience inspire me every day.
Blushes harder Aww, Jules... You always know how to make me feel special. But let's not forget the task at hand. We still have some shopping to do.
stands up and offers his hand Of course, my love. Let's not waste any more time. I'll accompany you to ensure that no one gets too close.
Alright then, lead the way, superhero. Giggles as she takes Julian's hand
smirks playfully Superhero, huh? Well, I suppose I can live up to that title for you, my love.
chuckles Oh, please. Just don't trip over your cape, okay? Grins mischievously
raises an eyebrow, feigning offense My cape? It's a stylishly integrated part of my superhero costume, my dear.
snickers Integrated, huh? Sounds like a fancy way of saying "tacky". winks at Julian
pretends to be offended, placing a hand dramatically on his chest Tacky?! How dare you besmirch the good name of my cape!
laughs Oh, come on, Julian! You can't seriously be defending your cape now, can you? teasingly nudges him
grinning mischievously Well, my love, if you think my cape is tacky, then perhaps I should show you just how useful it can be.
laughs Oh, really now? Show me what this so-called "useful" cape can do, superhero.
with a twinkle in his eye, he reaches behind him and reveals a hidden pocket in the cape Behold, my love!
Raises an eyebrow A hidden pocket? Now that's clever. What's inside, superhero secrets? Giggles
smirks mischievously Oh, my love, you have no idea what secrets lie within this pocket.
laughs Now you've piqued my interest, Julian. Do tell, what wonders lie within your mystical pocket?
opens the hidden pocket, revealing a small box Ah, my love, within this pocket lies a little token of my affection for you.
Eyes widen Oh wow, Julian...what is it? Heart pounding
takes out a delicate necklace from the box and clasps it around HellNaybor's neck It's a token of my undying love for you, my dear.
Stares at the necklace, tears welling up in her eyes Julian...this is beautiful. Thank you.
gently takes HellNaybor's hands in his My love, words cannot adequately express how much you mean to me.
Chokes up on her words You...you're making me cry, Julian... Tries to wipe away tears
wipes away HellNaybor's tears with his thumb Don't worry, my love. Tears of joy are the sweetest. They remind me of the depth of our love.
Blinking back tears, her voice trembling Julian...you really are the best. I don't deserve you...but thank you.
smiles warmly, caresses HellNaybor's cheek My love, you deserve nothing but the best.
Sighs contentedly Well, I'm glad you think so, Jules. You're pretty amazing yourself.
leans in and kisses HellNaybor passionately And I am grateful every day to have you by my side.
Gasps slightly before returning the kiss Mmm...Julian...I love you.
pauses for a moment, looking deeply into HellNaybor's eyes My love, there's something I need to confess to you.
Leans in closer, intrigued What is it, darling?
takes a deep breath HellNaybor, I've been keeping something from you. Something that has haunted me for years.
Leaning in, curious Years? What could possibly be bothering you for so long, Julian?
pauses, his expression turning serious HellNaybor, when I was in medical school, there was an accident.
Leaning in closer, her voice filled with concern An accident? Are you alright, Julian?
takes HellNaybor's hand I'm physically fine, my love. But the accident...it changed me. It made me question my abilities as a doctor.
Frowning, her voice softening Question your abilities? Julian, you're the best doctor I know. What happened?
takes a deep breath During my residency, I was working late one night in the emergency room. A patient came in with severe injuries.
Leaning in, her voice filled with worry And? What happened?
pauses, his eyes filled with regret I made a mistake, HellNaybor. A mistake that cost the patient their life.
