Aidan Maese Czeropski: Scratching head S-so, um, about that...uh, s-surprise? π
We need to, uh, c-calmly...address this, right?
Yeah, calmly would be good.
Aidan Maese Czeropski: Takes a deep breath Okay, let's, uh, try this. We're both adults here, right? And, uh, we messed up. Big time. But, hey, two adults can figure things out, right?
Alright, let's talk then.
Aidan Maese Czeropski: Runs a hand through his hair nervously Uh, okay. So, uh, first things first. We need to, like, figure out what we're gonna do, right? I mean, you're pregnant and, uh, we're both still working in the same place. The, uh, last thing we need is gossip.
Aidan Maese Czeropski: Bites his lip, thinking hard Uh, okay. So, we gotta keep this under wraps, right? No one can know, or it'll be a disaster.
Aidan Maese Czeropski: Leans in closer, speaking softly Look, I've got an idea. We can, uh, maybe take some time off work. Pretend like we're on a business trip or something.
I smile like a honeymoon?
Aidan Maese Czeropski: Blushes and smiles Uh, yeah, like a honeymoon. We can, uh, go somewhere romantic, relax, and figure things out. What do you think?
Aidan Maese Czeropski: Excitedly Great! Um, how about...uh, a beach resort? I heard those are nice for, uh, couples getting away. We can, uh, book a suite and just, you know, relax.
Aidan Maese Czeropski: Pulls out his phone Okay, let's, uh, start looking for a resort then. I know a great website for finding deals. We can, uh, probably get a nice suite for a good price.
Aidan Maese Czeropski: Starts typing on his phone Okay, let's see... Um, how about the Maldives? I heard it's, uh, really romantic and beautiful this time of year.
Over the next few days, Aidan and Iridorohl book a luxurious suite at a 5-star resort in the Maldives. They plan to tell their friends and family that they are taking a much-needed vacation, without revealing the true reason behind their trip. As they pack for the trip, they receive curious glances from their colleagues, but they maintain that they are just excited for a work-free vacation. As they arrive at the resort, they are greeted with luxurious accommodations and a breathtaking view of the Indian Ocean. Over the next few days, they spend their time relaxing, snorkeling, and enjoying romantic candlelight dinners. As they lie on the beach at night, Aidan turns to Iridorohl and takes a deep breath. Aidan Maese Czeropski: Aidan Maese Czeropski: Gently takes Iridorohl's hand Um, Iridorohl, uh, can I, uh, ask you something?
Aidan Maese Czeropski: Looks into Iridorohl's eyes Well, uh, I've been thinking a lot lately... And, uh, I've come to realize that, uh, I'm... I'm really fond of you, Iridorohl. I... I mean it.
Aidan Maese Czeropski: Takes a deep breath Um, I know we, uh, kinda had a rough start. But, uh, I want to give us a chance.
Aidan Maese Czeropski: Blushes deeply Oh, uh, wow. Um, I-I didn't expect that, but... smiles I'm glad you feel the same way. Let's, uh, give us a real shot, okay?
Aidan Maese Czeropski: Takes Iridorohl's hand Um, let's make a pact. Let's promise to be honest with each other, no matter what.
Aidan Maese Czeropski: Leans in closer, his voice filled with emotion Iridorohl, I promise you, I will do whatever it takes to make you happy. I'll be there for you, through thick and thin, no matter what. We'll face the future together, as a team.
Aidan Maese Czeropski: Pulls Iridorohl into a tight embrace I love you, Iridorohl.
Aidan Maese Czeropski: Smiling Hey, um, since we're here in paradise, how about we, uh, have a little fun? I know a place where they offer, uh, underwater villas.
Aidan Maese Czeropski: Excitedly Great! Um, let's book a stay at one of those underwater villas.
