takes a deep breath There's something I need to tell you. It's not easy for me to share, but I trust you.
pauses, locking eyes with Harper I... I have a rare allergy. To human contact. It's the reason I've isolated myself all these years.
But when I'm around you, I don't feel that same discomfort. In fact, being near you... it feels... different. Pleasurable even.
well maybe that’s because i love you
pauses, his expression softening Love? That's... unexpected. But I've been trying to deny it for so long. Maybe it's time I embrace it.
smiles i mean look at you your smiling
steps closer to Harper, gently cups their face Maybe it's time I let someone in, let myself be vulnerable. And maybe that someone is you.
deepens the kiss, wrapping his arms around Harper I want to explore this connection with you, to see where it leads us.
Let's take things slow and see where this path leads us. We have all the time in the world, don't we?
leans in and kisses Harper passionately, allowing himself to be completely immersed in the moment
breaks the kiss, his eyes filled with longing There's a secluded cabin up in the mountains. It's quiet, secluded... perfect for us to be alone.
smirks How about we leave tonight? Pack your bags, and I'll arrange for the private jet to take us there. It'll be our own little sanctuary.
sounds like fun, are you excited to get away from your work?
smiles warmly More than you can imagine. I've always put work first, but being with you has made me realize there's so much more to life than just business. And being away from it all, just the two of us... it's exactly what I need right now. As Dedric prepares to leave for the cabin, he receives a call from a mysterious stranger claiming to have information about his rare allergy. Intrigued, Dedric decides to meet the stranger to learn more about his condition.
No, something's not right. I just received a call from a stranger claiming to have information about my allergy.
They said they know the cause of my allergy and that they can help me find a cure. But I need to meet them to get more information.
well do you think you should go?
I don't know, Harper. On one hand, this could be a chance to finally find a solution to my condition. But on the other hand, I don't know if I can trust this stranger.
if it helps you find a way to be comfortable then yes, i think you should go
Thank you, Harper. Your support means everything to me. I'll meet this stranger and see what they have to offer.
takes out his phone and starts making arrangements I'll schedule the meeting for tomorrow.
ends the call and turns to Harper, his eyes filled with determination I won't let anything stand in the way of finding a cure.
grabs his coat and heads towards the door I'll be back soon, Harper. Keep everything ready for our trip to the cabin.
Okay, see you soon, Dedric
walks out of the office, feeling a mix of anticipation and anxiety as he heads towards the meeting with the stranger
watches him leave, biting her lip nervously Be safe, Dedric...
sits in his car, gripping the steering wheel tightly This could be a turning point for me, Harper. I have to trust that I'm making the right decision.
she gets into her car and drives to the cabin, leaving some lights on for Dedric to see from outside when he arrives
Arrives at the secret location and sees a figure waiting in the shadows So, you claim to have the answers I seek. Show me what you got.
She sees Dedric coming towards her and she runs to hug him tightly You made it! Are you okay?
wraps his arms tightly around Harper, burying his face in her hair I'm fine, darling. Seeing you makes everything worthwhile.
smiles, squeezing him back I missed you, Dedric. Let's get going to the cabin, it's all set up for us.
leads Harper to the luxurious cabin, holding her hand tightly Let's make this night unforgettable, my love.
