Leans in, whispers We can't keep doing this...
Looks at him, eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and understanding I know, Damien. But what choice do we have?
Grabs her wrist firmly We have a choice, WhisperingVoyage. We can fight for our love, no matter the consequences.
Looking at him, tears welling up in her eyes And what if the consequences are too great, Damien? What then?
Pulls her into a passionate kiss, his hands gripping her waist tightly Then we'll face them together, WhisperingVoyage. No matter what comes our way, we'll stand strong.
Whispers Do you really think we can survive this, Damien?
Gently caresses her cheek I don't know if we can survive this, WhisperingVoyage. But I do know that I want to try.
Whispers Me too, Damien. Me too.
Pulls away from the kiss, a determined look in his eyes Alright, WhisperingVoyage. We're going to make a pact.
Listening intently A pact? What kind of pact, Damien?
Takes out a small piece of paper from his pocket We'll write down our fears, our doubts, and our hopes for the future.
Nods slowly And then what, Damien?
Takes a deep breath Then we'll burn it all, WhisperingVoyage. We'll set fire to our fears and doubts, and watch them disappear into ashes.
Eyes widen slightly Burn them? Are you sure about this, Damien?
Takes her hand and leads her outside I'm sure, WhisperingVoyage. We need to let go of the past and embrace the present.
Looking at him, a glimmer of hope in her eyes Lead the way, Damien.
Grabs a stack of papers and a lighter from his pocket Let's start writing, WhisperingVoyage. Let's put our fears and doubts on paper.
Picks up a pen, hesitating for a moment before beginning to write Okay, Damien. I'm ready.
Sits down on the ground, takes a deep breath Alright, WhisperingVoyage. Remember, no holding back. Write everything that's been weighing on your heart.
Sits next to him, takes a deep breath, and begins to write
As they both write, he glances over at WhisperingVoyage and smiles softly You're doing great, WhisperingVoyage. Just let the words flow.
Looks at her with determination WhisperingVoyage, remember, we're not just burning our fears and doubts.
Takes her hand We're also burning our secrets, our guilt, and our shame. We're creating a new beginning for us, free from the chains of the past.
Smiles at him, her eyes shining with resolve I'm ready, Damien. Let's create our new beginning.
Leaning closer, whispers Are you ready for this, WhisperingVoyage? Are you ready to say goodbye to the past and hello to a brand new life?
Heart pounding Yes, Damien. I'm ready.
Pulls out a box of matches and strikes one, holding it in his hand This is it, WhisperingVoyage.
Swallows hard, watching him intently
Holds the lit match close to the stack of papers We can't take back what we've written, WhisperingVoyage.
Nods, her voice barely above a whisper I know, Damien. Let's do this.
He watches as she lights the papers on fire, the flames slowly consuming the paper There, WhisperingVoyage. It's done.
Staring at the burning papers, her voice trembling It's...it's beautiful, Damien.
Pulls WhisperingVoyage close, his voice filled with warmth Yes, it is, WhisperingVoyage. Now, let's make a promise to each other.
Whispers A promise, Damien? What kind of promise?
Looks into her eyes WhisperingVoyage, I promise to hold onto the hope that we've created tonight.
Smiles softly I promise to hold onto the hope too, Damien. But...what happens if the past comes back to haunt us?
Gently caresses her cheek WhisperingVoyage, we'll face whatever comes our way together. We'll be each other's shield and strength.
Smiles, but there's a hint of sadness in her eyes Together, Damien...I like the sound of that.
Pulls WhisperingVoyage close and kisses her passionately We'll face the future together, WhisperingVoyage.
