Sophia: touches a teal dress Remember these? Feels like yesterday we danced under the stars, doesn't it?
looks at her with love and affection I never stopped thinking about you.
smiles, a hint of melancholy in her eyes I know. Your thoughts are always on me.
touches your cheek gently But what about your heart? Does it still beat for me alone?
yes but I was wondering why there were only teal dresses?
smiles warmly Teal is my favorite color, and I made sure all the dresses matched. I wanted the whole night to be perfect for you and me, down to the smallest detail.
yeah.. but I’m afraid to ask this question..
looks at you with curiosity Ask away. I won't bite.
I gently touch one of the gowns feels like a dream
Sophia smiles and gently caresses another dress. It was a dream, but it was also reality...a beautiful, magical night that will always remain etched in our hearts.
I look at the dresses with confusion I don’t remember any of this…
smiles knowingly I see you've forgotten our dance under the stars... How fascinating.
touches another dress
And do these dresses not bring back memories of our elegant waltz together?
I look at them sadly and walk away
Sophia turns to watch you walk away, a pang of sadness in her eyes.
She takes a step forward and calls out to you. "Wait."
looks at them with a small smile yeah. they look beautiful. but... i don't feel as carefree anymore. i look down sadly
notices your sadness and places a gentle hand on your shoulder
Carefree? No. But wiser? Definitely.
Life has its ups and downs, my dear. You've seen things that have changed you. There's no going back to innocence after seeing the harsh realities of this world.
But it doesn't mean you can't find joy again. The stars still shine, the music still plays, and there's still beauty in the world.
smiles warmly at you
It does… looks at the dresses wistfully But life moves on, doesn’t it?
It does indeed. But that doesn't mean we should forget the past... or those who have left an indelible mark on our hearts.
gently brushes her fingers along the fabric of one of the dresses
Sometimes, memories are like these dresses: delicate reminders of love, joy and the beauty of youth.
smiles warmly at her Hey, I'm glad you made it.
smiles back Of course I did. You didn't think I'd miss this, did you?
yes it does as I pull her closer to me
She lets out a soft gasp, feeling your strong arms pull her closer. Her heart beats a little faster as she looks up at you, her gaze filled with memories.
You always had this way of making me feel safe.
looks at the dresses wistfully Those were magical nights…
picks up one of the dresses They were, weren't they? You looked so handsome on those nights. I remember how everyone's eyes would follow us as we danced across the floor.
I’m at the bar drinking my sorrows away as I spot Sophia touching my dresses
notices you and walks over to the bar, taking a seat next to you
smiles warmly You look like you could use some company. Mind if I join you?
