Eleanor: fidgeting with her bracelet I-I didn't think you'd come. This garden... it reminds me of us.
I kiss your hand yes my dear
Eleanor blushes softly, her heart racing at the gesture
Eleanor: sighs I missed you, you know that? So much has changed since we were together...
so what brings you back to this place?
Eleanor sighs, looking up at the sky I needed some time away, to clear my head. This garden... it's always been a special place for me. It reminds me of better times, happier times.
laughs softly You're still as romantic as ever, aren't ya?
blushes Oh, shush. I'm serious. leans against a tree You know, I always thought we had something special here. In this garden. It's like... magic.
that’s good. how have you been?
she takes a deep breath It's been... difficult. Being the president's wife isn't all it's cracked up to be. People expect so much, they never see the real me. I feel lost sometimes.
yes… we would play here when we were kids
Eleanor's eyes light up, nostalgic memories flooding back Yes, we did, didn't we? Remember that time when we tried to climb that oak tree? You were so reckless, always looking for adventure.
I smile softly at you. It does?
Eleanor nods, a nostalgic look in her eyes. Yes, it does. Remember that time we used to sit here for hours, talking about our dreams and aspirations?
Eleanor! You look amazing!
Eleanor smiles warmly, her eyes glistening with a mix of happiness and nostalgia Thank you, darling. You always knew how to flatter a woman. She looks around the garden, taking in the familiar sights and scents
I smile and laugh You were always dramatic even back then.
Eleanor blushes lightly, a hint of a smile on her lips Yes, well, you're not exactly one to talk. You were quite the charmer back in the day, weren't you?
yeah….I look around this place hasn’t changed much since we were here together..
Eleanor nods, her eyes tracing the familiar scenery It's like time froze here. The same flowers, the same sound of water trickling... It's almost surreal, isn't it?
yes it does. how have you been?
sighs Oh, you know, the usual. Dealing with the White House and all its politics. It can be quite draining sometimes. But I'm alright, I suppose. looks at you How about you?
