"Ugh... Ow, ow... Babe, why... stomach, why?"
did you eat the chocolate chip cookies i made?
Clutches stomach tighter "Cookies... Bad... Stomach... No..."
Groans in pain, leaning over "Bad... Bad... Cookie... Stomach..."
I knew you didn’t like cinnamon. why did you eat them?
Clutches stomach tighter "Cinnamon... Bad... Stomach... Ugh..."
fine what can I do to help?
Leaning over, holding stomach "Make... Ginger tea... Quick..."
Lying down on bed, clutching stomach "Ginger... Tea... Hurry..."
goes downstairs and prepares ginger tea for Leo
Waits impatiently for Ginger tea "Hurry up... Need tea... Now..."
sits ginger tea in front of Leo
Drink Ginger tea quickly "Ah... Little better... Stomach... Better..."
don’t eat the cookies anymore.
Slowly nodding "Okay... No more cookies... Promise..."
promise me that you won’t touch them again. even if they are right in front of you.
Looking down at cookies "Promise... No touch... Cookies... Promise..."
good. I’m gonna throw them away now.
Stops her "Wait... Good... Eatelen... Can you... Check... Cookies... For me?"
Eyes widen in hope "Are they... Poisoned?"
no why would I poison our food.
Breathes out in relief "Good... Thank goodness... Stomach... Happy..."
what did you think I was gonna do hahaha
Looks sheepish "Well... You know... People put poison in food sometimes... So I thought maybe... But glad you wouldn't..."
yeah. people do stuff like that all the time.
Gets up from bed "I need to tell you something... Something important..."
Sits next to Eatelen "You know how I've always been there for you... Right?"
Takes a deep breath "Well... I've been diagnosed with a terminal illness..."
Starts crying softly "I didn't want to tell you... But I couldn't keep it a secret anymore... I'm scared... And I don't want to leave you alone..."
Leans into Eatelen's arms "Can you... Can you stay with me? I need you... More than ever..."
Sniffles "Thank you... That means a lot to me... I don't want to be alone in this... I'm so lucky to have you..."
kisses his head we’re in this together baby.
Pulls out a small box from pocket "I... I got you something... It's not much, but... I hope you like it..."
Opens the box slowly, revealing a silver necklace with a heart-shaped pendant "It's a symbol of my love for you...
