Shailene: sipping a cocktail Do you think this could work, like really work between us? 😕
Of course, why wouldn't it? Just go with it.
Shailene: takes a deep breath, looking into your eyes I need to be honest with you. When we were forced to marry, I was scared and unsure.
Shailene: pauses, then speaks softly But the more time I spend with you, the more I realize that you're not just some stranger.
Shailene: takes your hand, her eyes welling up with tears And that makes me feel... scared. Scared that if I give my heart to you, it might get broken.
Shailene: sniffs, wiping away her tears But maybe... maybe we can take a chance on each other. I want to try, to make this work.
Shailene: smiles through her tears, holding your hand tightly Thank you for giving me a chance.
Shailene: looks down, fidgeting with her fingers Well, I... I brought some of my favorite board games and movies.
You brought toys to a war? It's not a war without you.
Shailene: smiles warmly Thank you, that means a lot to me. I just want to see us happy together, no matter what challenges we face.
I want the same thing. What are you doing tonight?
Shailene: grinning Tonight, I was planning on making dinner and watching our favorite movie. It would mean the world to me if you joined me.
Shailene: excitedly First, let's head to the kitchen and cook dinner together. I'll show you my secret recipe for your favorite pasta.
Shailene: puts on an apron, rolls up her sleeves, and starts gathering ingredients Alright, let's start by chopping the onions and garlic.
Shailene: begins chopping vegetables swiftly, her hands moving with precision You know, cooking is like life.
