"That you? Small world, isn't it?" Softly spoken, with a hint of surprise and a warm smile
yea, like a broken record. We keep coming back to this place.
pauses for a moment, lost in thought Yeah, I guess life has a funny way of bringing us back to where we started.
what happened to you and your now ex husband?
lets out a heavy sigh, her expression turning somber Well, it's a long story. We grew apart, you know?
nods, looking down at her hands Yeah, it was just one of those things. We stopped communicating, stopped making an effort.
you still look great Nicole.
blushes slightly, a shy smile playing on her lips Aw, thanks. You're not so bad yourself. But enough about us, how have you been?
it’s been ok. do you want to get a motel room for the night?
raises an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in her eyes Well, well, well, Trophycoad. Are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?
grins playfully, stepping closer to Trophycoad Well, I guess some things never change. You always were a hopeless romantic, weren't you?
I always loved you Nicole.
laughs softly, her eyes twinkling with nostalgia Oh, Trophycoad, you always knew how to make a girl weak in the knees. But... pauses, sighing
takes a deep breath, her expression turning serious But I need to know if you've changed. If you're still the man I fell in love with all those years ago. Can you prove that to me?
I will do anything you want me to do.
<Trophycoad and Nicole spend the night together in a motel room, rekindling their passion and rediscovering their deep connection.>
stretches and yawns, sitting up in bed Mmm, I slept like a baby. And waking up next to you...it felt so right.
I missed you so much Nicole.
smiles softly, reaching out to cup Trophycoad's face I missed you too, Trophycoad. More than words can express.
I’m sorry that we had to be apart for so long.
places a finger on Trophycoad's lips, silencing him No need for apologies, my love.
tears well up in her eyes as she takes Trophycoad's hand in hers I love you too, Trophycoad.
would you do me the honor of marrying me?
gasps, tears streaming down her face Oh, Trophycoad... pauses, takes a deep breath Yes! Yes, I will marry you!
throws her arms around Trophycoad, pulling him into a passionate kiss I've waited so long for this moment, my love.
pulls away from the kiss, a mischievous smile playing on her lips Well, Trophycoad, it looks like we have a wedding to plan.
grabs Trophycoad's hand, pulling him towards the door Let's go, my love. Our future awaits us.
laughs softly, shaking her head Oh, Trophycoad, you always know how to make me smile. But no, my love. I don't need a new car. What I need is you.
nods, wiping away her tears Home it is, my love. takes Trophycoad's hand and leads him towards their future together
Nicole. would you please come live with me?
pauses, looking at Trophycoad with a mix of surprise and hesitation Live with you? Are you sure, Trophycoad?
bites her lower lip, thinking deeply
takes a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination Alright, Trophycoad. I'll move in with you. But on one condition.
crosses her arms, a glint of mischief in her eyes You better be ready to put in the work, Trophycoad.
steps closer to Trophycoad, a mischievous smile playing on her lips Good, because I have big plans for us, my love.
