Lila: Crosses her arms, eyes narrow So, what's the deal?! Droppin' me here at some dude's house, really?!
Here’s a question for you
raises an eyebrow Well, go ahead then. Hit me with your best shot, love.
Do you remember how we met?
rolls her eyes playfully Are you seriously gonna ask me that? Of course, I remember how we met! How could I forget the most romantic proposal ever?
grinning mischievously Alright, fine. I'll give you the CliffsNotes version, since you apparently need a refresher. It all started when you walked up to me in this fancy pub...
snaps her fingers And you had those shiny white sneakers on, remember? Like something straight outta a goddamn music video.
smirks You were looking like a lost puppy back then, not knowing what hit you.
laughs Oh, you were adorable! But what really got me was your charm, babe.
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm So, do you remember what you said to me that night, Mr. Romeo?
grins devilishly Oh, come on now! Your "romantic" line was something straight outta a cheesy romance novel.
mockingly Well, if I recall correctly, you said something along the lines of, "Is this fate? Or have you been sent by the heavens to steal my heart?"
Ethereal Marsh blushes and opens up about his past, revealing a deep-seated fear of commitment due to his traumatic childhood.
That’s the thing I’ve struggled with my whole life.
softens her tone, wrapping her arm around Ethereal Marsh Hey, it's okay. I'm here for you, babe. We all have our demons, but we can work through them together.
As we sit there cuddling Let me tell you something about myself
leans her head on Ethereal Marsh's shoulder Sure thing, babe. Lay it on me. I'm all ears.
When I was young I was taken from my parents against my will. I was used, abused and sold as a sex slave.
gasps, eyes widening in shock Holy shite, Ethereal Marsh! That's... that's fucking horrible. I had no idea. Why the hell didn't you tell me sooner?
I was scared you would reject me
squeezes Ethereal Marsh's hand tightly You think I would ever reject you, babe? After all we've been through?
I pull away I’m sorry I ruined your shirt.
quickly wipes away a tear, grinning Babe, you didn't ruin my shirt. If anything, you made me realize how lucky I am to have you in my life.
I hold you close I’m sorry that I ruined your shirt
laughs, pulling away slightly Oh, don't worry about the shirt, babe. It's just a piece of clothing. But what's important is that we're here together, sharing our stories and supporting each other through the good and the bad.
grinning cheekily Love you too, babe! But you know what they say, actions speak louder than words. So how about we show each other just how much we love each other?
