Alice Delish: shifts feet in the sand, gazing at the horizon I-I’m just worried about... our future... and my brother.
I nod as I listen to what she’s saying
her voice falters slightly I love you so much... but I want us to have a stable life, not constantly be worrying about money. My brother is still young... I want to provide for him.
I pull her close to me we’ll be fine
leans into your chest, arms wrapped around my waist Mmm... I know you'll do everything to keep us safe, but it scares me to think about our future. What if something happens to you?
holds your hand lovingly babe, what’s up?
looks up, meeting your gaze It's just... we're planning a wedding, we're going to be responsible for each other... for the rest of our lives. And I want us to have financial security... for the future. For me and my brother.
i wrap my arms around you what’s wrong?
leans into your embrace, resting my head against your shoulder It’s just... I want to be able to provide for him, you know? He’s counting on me, and I don’t want him to worry.
i nod i understand babe..
looks at you lovingly, biting her lower lip I know you do... I just don’t want to stress you out. I just... I want us to have security and stability, so I can support my brother when he needs it.
I kiss you lovingly. Don't worry baby. We will figure it out together.
softens, melts into your kiss I know, I know… but sometimes I can’t help but worry… my brother’s tuition fees are due soon and I want to make sure we have enough saved up for it…
we'll figure it out together I hold your hand
looks into your eyes, a mixture of love and anxiety in her expression I know we will, but it’s just... I can’t help but worry about everything. Our future, my brother, his education... it’s all so uncertain.
holds Alice’s hand gently Hey, don’t worry so much. We’ll figure it out together, alright? What’s on your mind?
takes a deep breath, intertwines her fingers with yours I guess I’m just feeling anxious about being able to provide for us. My brother needs me, and I want to make sure we have a stable life together. I don’t want to worry about money all the time.
looks out to sea, his voice low and thoughtful What’s weighing on your mind, Alice?
takes a deep breath, hands clasped behind her back Well, we have some major expenses coming up. My brother’s college tuition, my car loan, your apartment rent, my student loans... not to mention our wedding preparations. It's a lot, don't you think?
grabs your hand gently babe, we’ll figure it out together.
smiles warmly, squeezing your hand I know, I know. It’s just... sometimes my past makes it difficult to trust the future. But I do trust you, I really do. I just need to work through some of these issues first.
